jump turn

{{Ski-technique}}

A jump turn is a skiing technique used in steep, narrow areas - such as a couloir - that do not permit a full parallel or carving turn. Jump turns involve pole planting followed by a quick hop that reverses the skiers' direction.{{cite news|last1=Smith|first1=Warren|title=Ski technique: mastering jump turns|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/snowandski/skills/11440362/Ski-technique-mastering-jump-turns.html|access-date=6 July 2015|work=The Daily Telegraph (London)|date=9 March 2015|ref=Ski technique: mastering jump turns}}
