What is the edge angle of a ski relative to the snow and hill when it is not tilted?

• A. Tilt Angle
• B. Angle of Tilt
• C. Ski Tilt
• D. Edge Angle

Answer: (D)

Edge angle is the measurement that describes how the ski’s edge sits relative to the snow surface. When the ski is not tilted to its edge, the edge lies flat on the snow, so the edge angle relative to the snow is zero degrees. This term specifically names the orientation of the cutting edge itself, not the overall tilt of the ski or the skier. The other terms describe how much the ski is tipped or leaned onto its edge, which is about tilt rather than the edge’s orientation. So the correct term for this situation is Edge Angle.
