There is one area that can be very sketchy. Imagine that you are on steep terrain wearing your skis and you have a cliff below you. You need to make a turn to get out of the terrain. The best option is a downhill stationary kickturn.
Outdoor Research and the American Mountain Guides Association teamed up to bring you this video of AMGA Instructor Team Member, Margaret Wheeler, demonstrating the turn.
