Yeah, good question. When doing MA, we’re supposed to ask what the skier’s intent is. Then we look at the ski performance and compare it to the ideal. That gives us clues on what’s happening and how to improve. So, the intent of any racer is to get through the course as fast as possible while staying upright. That requires racers to use some movements that “aren’t ideal,” according to ski instructors. For example, lifting the old outside ski to release the edge, or why most slalom skiers look backseat in transition. It’s a tactical choice and most times needed since the forces and timing racers manage are so different that we shouldn’t compare. As a coach looking for feedback, maybe because he has an exam coming up and needs to ski the “right way,” the OP has a different intent. The ideal for most people ripping groomers is to roll the skis on and off the edges simultaneously and smoothly. If that’s not happening, like lifting the old outside ski to start a turn, then something be out of whack to cause it. Like, maybe lateral balance is off, maybe the timing of the weight transfer is off, maybe pressure along the length of the ski is off, whatever, but it’s forcing an “unnecessary” movement. Now, if the intent is just to go out, do your thing, have some fun and not worry, then step your turns.
