What Is The Definition Of Jump Turn
1. A jump turn is a skiing and snowboarding technique that enables the skier to safely turn their skis 180 degrees in any snow condition, on any slope, no matter the steepness.
To perform a jump turn, the skier uses their poles for stability and will then perform a quick hop, turning themselves 180 degrees in the air and land facing the opposite direction.
The jump turn is useful for narrow areas where a full parallel or carving turn cannot be performed.
