This was a comment on one of my YouTube videos, obviously by a ski instructor.
"Great skiing. Why do you say you "don't steer, rotate or twist your legs or skis"? In this video, your femurs are rotating a ton inside the hip socket and both skis twist simultaneously from their centers through the fall-line. Also, your outside leg extends while the inside leg shortens from the start of your turn to the middle, and then the inside leg lengthens as it matches the outside leg at the transition between your turns, like you are pedaling a bicycle. Could you please explain your belief that you only use tipping movements and no extension movements more?"
My réponse was: "Chris, Thanks for your comments. Steering is not what I do, teach or how I ski. It's not what the world cup skiers do. Steering gives the wrong message to the body, the wrong results to the skis and the muscles that move your body to create angles, and doesn't engage your skis for control on the mountain. Look at most ski instructors (US and Canada) they are trying to steer their legs, and end up skiing like robots and frightened tourists.
