What is the term for a task or exercise that highlights a particular movement or skill?

• A. Warm-up
• B. Routine
• C. Drill
• D. Practice

Answer: (C)

Focusing on a single movement or skill is the purpose of a drill. Drills are designed to isolate and repeat a specific action so the skier can feel, exaggerate, and refine the exact technique—like controlling edge angle, balance, or timing of movements. That targeted practice helps transfer the correct pattern into full-skiing tasks. A warm-up, by contrast, is about preparing the body for activity and may include broad, easy movements rather than isolating one technique. A routine is a planned sequence of activities that may be for flow or performance of several skills, not specifically about highlighting one movement. Practice covers repetition to improve overall ability, not necessarily isolating a particular movement for focused improvement.
