_Preparation._--Press both knees and skis together and (except before a
downhill turn) edge the latter slightly to the right; weight on both
and well forwards; knees rather bent, feet level, or the right a little
ahead.
_Turn._--(1) Still stooping slightly, move arms, shoulders, and upper
body--not the head--well round to the right with an easy but decided
swing. (2) Without the least pause simultaneously reverse the twist
of the body, make a vigorous stroke to the _left_ with the arms, and
jerk hips and knees round to the _right_. The movement of (1) should be
gradual, of (2) sudden, but the force about the same in each. The skis
should whip round to right angles, or nearly so, with their previous
course.
