Hi, I noticed your (and other good skiers’) outside foot is in forward of your hips when pressured in a turn. Doesn’t that mean you’re pressing the tails of the skies rather than pressing the center? Or the forward lean of the upper body counters that “feet in front of hips” and, in total, through pressing the tongue of the boots with your shines, you’re in the middle position? I always think that the outside boot and hips should line up on the vertical line from the slope to be in the centered position. I’ve been wondering why good skiers are in this “feet in front of the body” position that looks like they’re only pressing the tails at the first glance. Or the forward lean of the upper body counters all that and you’re in the centered position? Sorry for messing up, just a curious question.

Oh, I mean at the apex of the turn.
I like to focus on keeping pressure on the tongue’s of the boots. If it looks to you like the position is back, try that but keep the ankle flexed
