What term describes movements that increase, limit, or decrease rotation of the skis?

• A. Rotary movements
• B. Rotary push-off
• C. Sideslip
• D. Sidestep

Answer: (A)

Rotary movements describe actions that rotate the skis around their vertical axis, allowing you to increase, limit, or decrease rotation to steer. This rotation twists the skis left or right and is how you direct future edges and turns. The other terms refer to different concepts: sideslip is gliding with the skis across the slope without turning, sidestep is a cross-slope stepping motion, and rotary push-off points to a specific initiating action rather than the ongoing control of ski rotation. Understanding rotary movements helps you dial in how much the skis rotate to start and adjust a turn, separate from edging and pressure management.
