Talk:Snowplough turn

Doesn't explain the difference between stopping and turning.

{{ping|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."{{cite web
