Interesting, very analogous to a MTB/dirtbike technique, counter leaning the bike in and the body out of the turn to get side knobs biting. Also lets you transition faster from turn to turn by conserving angular momentum of your upper body.
I just took my alpine level 1 exam this weekend and wish this video was out earlier haha(still passed though). I've always struggled to understand the difference between the 2. It's a very tricky topic to understand conceptually, and then even more tricky to understand in practice. A tendency I have in both alpine and tele is to push my outside ski away from me because another skiing fundamental is controlling pressure from ski to ski(foot to foot)to direct pressure towards the outside ski. I overcompensate in this area. Foot to foot pressure and edge pressure are so closely related that a lot of instructors(myself included) get confused with. You did a really good job of summarizing this fundamental on its own and I think understanding this fundamental is a good fix for unintentionally pushing away the outside ski. I'm going to add this video to my teaching playlist for students

@@zackspate8935 Wow, I’m flattered! I hope I did the topic justice.
And congratulations!
This is an amazing video. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to create this. Happy trails and joy. :)
@@tomm9850 Thanks for the high praise! It was a lot of satisfying work to put this together.
