The trick to turning is it's all in your hips and ankles. Keep your body straight, even if you feel like you are gonna go down the hill too fast, because that's when you have control. You tip the board with your toes forward and look where you want to go and you're board will start to make that first part of the S shape.. then when you want to go the other way, start digging in with your heels.. I know it's frustrating at first but once you "feel" it, it's like riding a bike..

And as for skiis.. I hate skiing. *LOL* I just don't like my feet separated.. but yeah they are hard to coordinate if you lose your groove. I can skii ok but nothing fancy.
