Man... there seems to be some confusion. Let me clear it up for everyone. This is really simple to understand.
It is an expanded version of the following variables:
Steering = variable 's'
Edging = variable 'e'
Pressure = variable 'p'
Balance = variable 'b'
SO you have:
s + e + p + b = Skiing [See its easy, not so hard to understand, and very straight forward...]
Let's expand this with some variables though (we don't want to be vague... but of course this is OVERLY simplified):
Within 's' there is:
Rotary = rt
Pivoting = pvt
Steering angle = sa
Guiding = g
Drifting = d
Sliding = sld
Slipping = slp
Within 'e' there is:
Inclindation = i
Counter = c
Hip Angulation = ha
Knee Angulation = ka
Spine Angulation = sa
Banking = bk
Cross Over = co
Cross Under = cu
Cross Through = ct
Within 'p' there is:
Up-unweighting = uuw
Down-unweighting = duw
Extension = ex
Retraction = rct
Terrain-unweighting = tuw
Rebound-unweighting = ruw
Pressure Control = pc
Within 'b' there is:
Stance = st
Fore = for
Aft = aft
Lateral = lat
Weighting = wt
Blocking = bl
Anticipation = ant
So it is still pretty simple really... A, B, C, ... Z ... AD variables indicate varied amounts of each skill:
s = A(rt) + B(pvt) + C(sa) + D(g) + E(d) + F(sld) + G(slp)
e = H(i) + I(c) + J(ha) + K(ka) + L(sa) + M(bk) + N(co) + O(cu) + P(ct)
p = Q(uuw) + R(duw) + S(ex) + T(rct) + U(tuw) + V(ruw) + W(pc)
b = X(st) + Y(for) + Z(aft) + AA(lat) + AB(wt) + AC(bl) + AD(ant)
So expanded we have:
Skiing = [A(rt) + B(pvt) + C(sa) + D(g) + E(d) + F(sld) + G(slp)] + [H(i) + I(c) + J(ha) + K(ka) + L(sa) + M(bk) + N(co) + O(cu) + P(ct)] + [Q(uuw) + R(duw) + S(ex) + T(rct) + U(tuw) + V(ruw) + W(pc)] + [X(st) + Y(for) + Z(aft) + AA(lat) + AB(wt) + AC(bl) + AD(ant)]
Of course this is also a variable that changes depending on where you are in four different phases of the turn… So, simplistically speaking you get:
Skiing = [f(Preparation) = [A(rt) + B(pvt) + C(sa) + D(g) + E(d) + F(sld) + G(slp)] + [H(i) + I(c) + J(ha) + K(ka) + L(sa) + M(bk) + N(co) + O(cu) + P(ct)] + [Q(uuw) + R(duw) + S(ex) + T(rct) + U(tuw) + V(ruw) + W(pc)] + [X(st) + Y(for) + Z(aft) + AA(lat) + AB(wt) + AC(bl) + AD(ant)]] + [f(Initiation) = [A(rt) + B(pvt) + C(sa) + D(g) + E(d) + F(sld) + G(slp)] + [H(i) + I(c) + J(ha) + K(ka) + L(sa) + M(bk) + N(co) + O(cu) + P(ct)] + [Q(uuw) + R(duw) + S(ex) + T(rct) + U(tuw) + V(ruw) + W(pc)] + [X(st) + Y(for) + Z(aft) + AA(lat) + AB(wt) + AC(bl) + AD(ant)]] + [f(Control) = [A(rt) + B(pvt) + C(sa) + D(g) + E(d) + F(sld) + G(slp)] + [H(i) + I(c) + J(ha) + K(ka) + L(sa) + M(bk) + N(co) + O(cu) + P(ct)] + [Q(uuw) + R(duw) + S(ex) + T(rct) + U(tuw) + V(ruw) + W(pc)] + [X(st) + Y(for) + Z(aft) + AA(lat) + AB(wt) + AC(bl) + AD(ant)]] + [f(Finish) = [A(rt) + B(pvt) + C(sa) + D(g) + E(d) + F(sld) + G(slp)] + [H(i) + I(c) + J(ha) + K(ka) + L(sa) + M(bk) + N(co) + O(cu) + P(ct)] + [Q(uuw) + R(duw) + S(ex) + T(rct) + U(tuw) + V(ruw) + W(pc)] + [X(st) + Y(for) + Z(aft) + AA(lat) + AB(wt) + AC(bl) + AD(ant)]]
Don't forget to adjust for conditions and terrain though - which will adjust the entire turn in every phase to varying degrees...
Skiing = F1[Conditions] * F1[Terrain] * [f(Preparation) = [A(rt) + B(pvt) + C(sa) + D(g) + E(d) + F(sld) + G(slp)] + [H(i) + I(c) + J(ha) + K(ka) + L(sa) + M(bk) + N(co) + O(cu) + P(ct)] + [Q(uuw) + R(duw) + S(ex) + T(rct) + U(tuw) + V(ruw) + W(pc)] + [X(st) + Y(for) + Z(aft) + AA(lat) + AB(wt) + AC(bl) + AD(ant)]] + F2[Conditions] * F2[Terrain] * [f(Initiation) = [A(rt) + B(pvt) + C(sa) + D(g) + E(d) + F(sld) + G(slp)] + [H(i) + I(c) + J(ha) + K(ka) + L(sa) + M(bk) + N(co) + O(cu) + P(ct)] + [Q(uuw) + R(duw) + S(ex) + T(rct) + U(tuw) + V(ruw) + W(pc)] + [X(st) + Y(for) + Z(aft) + AA(lat) + AB(wt) + AC(bl) + AD(ant)]] + F3[Conditions] * F3[Terrain] * [f(Control) = [A(rt) + B(pvt) + C(sa) + D(g) + E(d) + F(sld) + G(slp)] + [H(i) + I(c) + J(ha) + K(ka) + L(sa) + M(bk) + N(co) + O(cu) + P(ct)] + [Q(uuw) + R(duw) + S(ex) + T(rct) + U(tuw) + V(ruw) + W(pc)] + [X(st) + Y(for) + Z(aft) + AA(lat) + AB(wt) + AC(bl) + AD(ant)]] + F4[Conditions] * F4[Terrain] * [f(Finish) = [A(rt) + B(pvt) + C(sa) + D(g) + E(d) + F(sld) + G(slp)] + [H(i) + I(c) + J(ha) + K(ka) + L(sa) + M(bk) + N(co) + O(cu) + P(ct)] + [Q(uuw) + R(duw) + S(ex) + T(rct) + U(tuw) + V(ruw) + W(pc)] + [X(st) + Y(for) + Z(aft) + AA(lat) + AB(wt) + AC(bl) + AD(ant)]]
The perfect turn [no connection to "The Perfect Turn"] is simply the proper blending of the above skills for the conditions and terrain one is skiing. If you want to improve - simply correct one of those skills. Its that easy.
