Downhill & Uphill Ski
Downhill / Uphill Ski
A terminology concept that identifies one ski from the other. It’s best used when discussing the role of the feet and skis during a traverse, or within the confines of a standard transition between turns. In those situations, one ski is at all times an uphill ski, and one is a downhill ski.
When discussing the roles of the feet and skis during a turn, it’s better to refer to an Inside and Outside ski. During a turn, which is the uphill ski, and which is the downhill ski, changes. That creates confusion. Which is the inside and outside remains the same. Much clearer.
