From a leaflet describing a skiing tour:
High lights(sic)
- Gute Kondition und Beherrschung roter Pisten im Parallelschwung
- Die besten Skigebiete der Dolomiten.
Note: I found Google translating Parallelschwung as parallel momentum, but there were also references to parallel skiiing.

parallel turn
I looked-up "wedeln" which is another German term for this skiing technique.
Example sentence:
The invention of the Parallel turn in skiing is credited to Austrian Toni Seelos in the 1930s. Since the 1930's, the parallel turn has evolved to the modern parallel turn which is most easily viewed by watching Olympic caliber skiers.
