plow
An agricultural tool used to loosen and turn over the soil of a field and prepare it for sowing.
Der Bauer fuhr mit dem Traktor und dem Pflug über das Feld.
The farmer drove across the field with the tractor and the plow.
You can recognize the meaning easily from the topic. If people are talking about agriculture, farmers, or fields, the agricultural tool is meant. If it is about skiing, snow, or the slope, the skiing technique is meant.
Früher wurde der Pflug von Pferden gezogen.
In the past, the plow was pulled by horses.
The matching verb 'pflügen' (to plow) refers exclusively to the agricultural meaning. You can plow a field, but you cannot plow a ski slope.
Im Herbst pflügt der Landwirt seine Felder.
In autumn, the farmer plows his fields.
In the context of skiing, 'Pflug' (snowplow) is always used with the preposition 'in' and verbs of movement such as 'fahren' (to ski/ride) or 'bremsen' (to brake). So you ski 'im Pflug' (in a snowplow).
Bleib im Pflug, bis du dich sicherer fühlst!
Stay in the snowplow until you feel more confident!
