What term describes movements that increase or decrease edge angle?

• A. Dynamic Balance
• B. Edge Change
• C. Edge Set
• D. Edging Movements

Answer: (D)

Edging movements describe the actions that adjust how much of the ski edge is engaged with the snow, i.e., increasing or decreasing edge angle. This involves tipping and weighting parts of the body to tilt the skis onto their edges for more grip, or flattening slightly to reduce edge contact and ease the glide. Controlling edge angle is how you shape the turn—you dial up edge angle for a tighter, more carved feel and back off edge angle to release and move into the next phase of the turn. Dynamic balance focuses on staying stable during motion, edge set is about getting onto the edge and holding it, and edge change isn’t the standard term for the ongoing adjustments you make to edge angle. So, edging movements best describe these continuous adjustments to edge angle throughout the turn.
