Stem Christie

Stemming is a technique used in skiing for turning. The modern version is usually credited to the Austrian Mathias Zdarsky who developed it in the 1890s by combining stemming with a variation of the Christiania technique, producing the stem Christiania, or stem Christie for short. Its variations gradually replaced the telemark technique in alpine skiing.
