The term PMTS uses is called counteracting. Here are some drills you might want to practice on.
1. Dryland (copied from HH's book)
A quick introduction to counterracting movements. Stand in front of an armless chair as though you are going to sit down on it. Before you sit, turn your whole body to face to one side or the other, so that your feet point 90 degress to either side. Keeping the feet pointed to the side, turn your hips so that you can sit normally on the chair, facing forwards. The twist in your hips and lower back needed to achieve this is the counteracting movement. Once you get used to this twisting feeling, try to "find" the same feeling in your skiing. ^_^
2. On snow, tuck turns
Squeeze the arms and poles tightly so that arms and torso behave as a unit. The "V" formed by the poles with the hands together at the base of hte V is an external cue. The feedback from the direction of the poles will help you learn to control your torso. At transition, when the skis are flat, the hands point forward toward the ski tips. This is neutral. At the top of the new arc, say the skis will make a left urn, the right edges of the skis are lifted from the snow, showing the bases to the right, you need to point your hands (also the the vase of the "V") to the right, so that your entire torso has turned to face the right as well. Let's put it this way, if anybody can see the bases of your skis, they should see the width of your jacket front at the same time.
Again, I copied it from HH's book and find it extremely helpful.
If you start your counteracting movements in the correct direction at turn transition and continue them through the arc of the turn, all should be proceeding nicely, However, if you UNWIND before the next release -- letting go of your counteracting efforts while the skis are still on the old edges -- you will ROTATE the hips (wrong, wrong, wrong), lose edge grip, and lose all the energy from the arc that would have created an ENERGETIC release. Hence, hold the countered relationship long enough until the moment of edge change.
