I need a skiers help and fast. This is info that will be part of a bio for a memorial service and I just can not find this anywhere on line! What is the correct spelling and definition for a jump turn that was phonetically called Der Vad uh lin? It looked like tiny jumps so that one came down the mountain almost straight down but moved the hips from side to side in a rhythm. Oh boy! I need a skiers help and fast.

Note: I always make sure that the straps of the backpack are tight (to increase the precision of the movements) and that the length of the poles is correct (not too long). Also, I never look down to the abyss below me - it makes me a bit uncomfortable. I rather scan only the relevant and close region where I plan to land after the turn. However, I always think ahead - I know where I need to get. Question: Make the twin tip skis a big difference when sideslipping from out of the danger? Know-how from the right person.
