Fall over. Swivel hips and skis into opposite direction. Stand up again. Ski in straight line.
Repeat as required.

I have never turned (the high heels were just a phase I was goiing through), I quite like to carve with beef being my favourite, I like a jump, but not keen on skidding.

hip checks - so much fun in powder - as long as you don't mind a bit of snow down your trousers. Not to be recommended on avalanche prone terrain!

I blow hard and the force of the air coming out creates an envelope of air around me which trys to push me in the opposite direction to that which I am sliding. I therefore have a choice of techniques by which I then make the turn but mainly I turn my shoulders and chest a little and let the air friction turn me. This is obviously a very basic technique so I apologise for boring anyone .....

Adam Holt, Seems obvious now you mention it. Similarly if you channel your farts down your leg it makes for an excellent and cheap foot warmer.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

As a regular practitioner of tantric skiing*, my turn technique relies not on anything as prosaic as physics but more metaphysics.

You know it makes sense.

Tin-opener turns are good in flattish breakable crust.

I hover a fraction of an inch above the ground using anti-gravity. Kind of messes up the downhill aspect though.

You can also turn by jetting and kangarooing.

flicksta, you need directional AG. It's great in races when your personal coefficient of gravity exceeds 9.81 m/s^2

I pretty much carve all of my turns. I do it by transferring my weight from my inside to outside ski.

Yes!
I have done swivel turns on the top of a mogul. I have also resorted to dragging one ski pole when testing out slalom skis at SG speeds (not reccomended).
