Tips from the Pros - Daron Rahlves: "Commit"
3. Slash Turn

Spring snow that builds up below headwalls and warms in the afternoon sun smears like cream cheese. You can slash bank turns like this to shut speed down when needed. As you approach, stand tall to push your skis away from you, then move your weight toward the ski tips to apply pressure quickly but smoothly. You can feel how much to lay into it. Drag your inside pole to make slight adjustments.
