The Stem Christie in skiing is a development of the stem technique, where the uphill ski is stemmed or pushed out from being parallel with the downhill ski to form a V shape. Skiing is the activity of gliding over snow using skis (originally wooden planks, now usually made from fiberglass or related composites) strapped to the feet with ski bindings. ...
The stem technique in skiing is usually credited to Mathias Zdarsky, from Austria, who invented it in the 1890s. ...
The turn was named after Kristiania (now Oslo), Norway, where the name Kristianiasving was used for the parallel turn, differentiating it from the Telemark turn. In the period 1878–1924, Kristiania was the name used for Norways capital Oslo (having been called Christiania since 1624). ...

Terminology
Uphill ski is now referred to as the outside ski.
Downhill ski is now referred to as the inside ski.
Uphill and Downhill were confusing as after completion of the turn the uphill ski will now be downhill!
The technique Having brought the skis into the V shape mentioned above, more pressure is applied to one of the skis, so causing the skis to start to turn (to the left if applied to the right ski, or to the right if applied to the left).
Once the turn has commenced, the downhill ski is gradually brought parallel with the stemmed ski as the turn is made so that at the end of the turn both skis are parallel and pointing in the desired direction of travel.
See also Terminology Uphill ski refers in this case to the back end of the ski, i. ...
