How do you turn and slow down on skis?

What happens if you lean back on your skis?

Leaning back causes many problems though, as soon as you don’t push on the front of the ski boots the pressure on the front of the skis decreases giving you less control. As shown in the diagram, when you lean back the front of the skis will stop pushing into the snow, and can even come into the air altogether.
