First, you have to know what movement you are trying to trigger, for example, one of the Essentials. For fore/aft balance I use "pull", this reminds me to keep my inside foot back. That's an example. Pick the movements you want to keep happening and then choose a trigger word for yourself.
Interesting in that I have used the thought of "pull" myself as a reminder to keep that foot back. But lately I have gotten confused in as to whether is this a matter not of keeping it back, but of not letting it slide too far forward? And just keeping tension on it. Because that inside ski, as it enters the fall line and then comes around, does go ahead of the other ski and the knee goes ahead of the other knee.
