Why does a ski turn to the right?
It acts as a nice introduction to balancing on the outside ski, since it is purely the left ski that turns to the right here (and vice versa). The inside ski actually applies resistance to turning and acts as an impediment, but in doing so provides speed control to give you time to turn the skis before they run away down the hill.
