Parallel

When a skier has both of their bases flat against the snow, they are said to be skiing in parallel. This is the predominate technique used by most skiers. It isn't as fast as skiing on your edges, but it isn't always possible to stay on edge (this is esspecially true in powder, and on steeps).
