I just want to express my view on the turning motion during short radius turns (srt)
The ski-turning-itself motion is a combination of pressure applied by skier to ground and the pressure from ground to skier. Note when I say pressure, it also means force, also vice versa. As the turn completes (ski moving from the far side of the body to under/in front of the body), the direction of force from ground to skier becomes longitudinal from lateral, w.r.t the skier. when a high pressure is applied evenly throughout the turn, which I believe we should do in srt, combing the body weight in motion at speed, and the force, pressure at foot greatly exceeds that is applied by the legs. In term, the leg are pushed back naturally, and the feet would return to its natural position (straight), and the pressure from ground would reduce to a point that is smaller than the leg application, allowing the leg to push back on the ground to extend outward again.
