How is the turn done?

Doesn't explain the difference between stopping and turning.

"Snowplough" vs "snowplow"

@Cornellier: Is the Canadian spelling for this term, "snowplough" or "snowplow?" My thinking is that the spelling should reflect North American usage, since the bulk of English-speaking skiers are in NA. The official ski instructors' term is "wedge turn."[1] Perhaps that should be the name of the article with redirects from ""snowplough" and "snowplow."
