Abstract

Using skis with a deep sidecut (as carving skis have it) it's not necessary to learn a new techniques. Different carving skis are developed for all target groups. They simplify the steering of turns on the ski-edge, but the skier needs some more muscle-effort as with usual skis. Lately physical researches proved that there's no higher risk of false cutting with carving skis than with common, normal sidecut skis. Mainly the condition of the ski-edge and the height of the skier's position over the ski do cause false cutting.
