Tipping a ski from one edge to a new edge, either simultaneously or sequentially, is called what?

• A. Edge Change
• B. Edge Set
• C. Edge Angle
• D. Down Stem

Answer: (A)

Edge change is the action of tipping from one edge to the other on the skis, switching which edge is gripping the snow to control direction. This can happen with both skis at the same time or in sequence, depending on balance and terrain, and it sets up the next phase of the turn by establishing the new edge for grip and control. The other terms describe different ideas: edge set is about preparing and engaging the new edge, edge angle refers to how much the ski is tipped, and down stem isn’t the term used for switching edges.
