THE K-TURN METHOD
If your machine is equipped with reverse, bring the machine to a complete stop and turn the handlebars and skis all the way to one side. Then follow these steps:
STEP 1
Begin backing up until the machine is perpendicular to the hill. Take it easy on the throttle so you don't lose control while turning backwards.
STEP 2
If the machine isn't equipped with reverse you will physically have to drag the machine into position until it’s able to begin moving forward down the hill again.
STEP 3
Once in position, continue driving forward, turning the handlebars and skis towards the bottom of the hill (remember to lean your weight backwards slightly while traveling down the slope to maintain balance).
