Counter Rotation
COUNTER Rotation
This refers to a way of aggressively pushing or pivoting the start of a turn. The upper body is twisted away from the turn, to provide leverage to power an equal and opposite twisting the skis into the turn. It's a labor intensive means of turning the skis, that's often seen being used by skiers with a limited skill base. While it does have situational use, even for the expert skier, there are more movement and energy efficient ways to push and pivot the skis.
