What is a "stem turn"?

A stem turn is a basic skiing technique where the skier turns by pushing their heels outward and bringing their toes inward, creating a wedge shape with the skis. This position helps control speed and makes it easier to turn, especially on gentle slopes. The skier shifts weight to one ski to guide the turn, gradually bringing both skis back into a parallel position as they gain more control. The stem turn is often taught to beginners as a way to develop balance and learn how to navigate downhill safely.
