Thanks!

The English language actually uses the German term for this - "wedeln". It's when people make those really fast, short turns down the mountain.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

'Short Swings' was what ski school in Verbier used to call them when they offered the 'Cours de Godilles'.

It's the "chalet-girl chimmy chammy", according to Phil Smith.

Mac46, Deffo not short swings - more like very short radius. It used to be Wedeln, but now just seems to mean short radius turns of any type
