My best rebound comes in the arc later than where the greatest gravitation and centripetal forces are measured. Why, because I can shorten the radius, right after the maximal loaded point. As we know from the acceleration equation, shortening the radius increases centripetal acceleration. Therefore, I get more rebound feel as I shorten the radius.

The right movements are all spelled out and documented. This question is purely academic. We know the forces act on us and on the ski. The more edge angle and tighter we can make the radius the more we produce forces.
Max501 We can analyze the physics of a perfect turn ad nauseam and it won't make any difference in our skiing. What will? Start with page 1 of book 1 and go from there.
I'm not sure why this thread popped back to life But way back then in 2007 when I made my post I knew nothing. Now, 11 years later I know a bit more (i.e., next to nothing). But I have certainly moved away from any need to understand skiing "academically". It's like HH says, it's all just the movements. The fascinating thing about this system is that as you chip away at the movements, the results reveal themselves as surprising, unexpected outcomes. You then begin to have a lot more faith in the wisdom of the movements which in turn motivates you to get better at them.
I guess it demonstrates how well-chosen the essentials are.
I think PMTS should be allowed to appeal at every level.
