The stem Christie is a technique in skiing for turning. It is a refinement of the basic stem technique where, prior to the turn, the downhill ski is ''stemmed'' (tail skidded outward) from being parallel with the uphill ski to form a V shape. The turn was named after Kristiania (now Oslo), Norway, where the name ''Kristianiasving'' was used for the parallel turn, differentiating it from the Telemark turn. The technique was introduced to central Europe in 1910 by the Austrian ski guide Hannes Schneider. Along with the other two stem techniques, it formed the basis of his Arlberg technique and instruction method. The technique was popular and widely used up until the late 1960s, when its use diminished in favor of the parallel turn, inspired mostly by ski racers. Radical side-cut skis, developed in the late 1990s, have accelerated the obsolescence of the stem Christie. It is still occasionally taught to intermediate and advanced skiers to demonstrate the difference in efficient movements with less efficient movements. ==Terminology== * ''Uphill Ski'' refers to the ski that is in a position higher up the hill. * ''Downhill ski'' refers to the ski that is in a position farther down the hill. * ''Outside ski'' is the ski farthest away from the center of the circle the skier is turning about. * ''Inside ski'' is the ski closest to the center of the circle the skier is turning about. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stem Christie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
