Thanks so much for this video. As a PT and a ski instructor it's such a relief to see videos that highlight the way the human body actually moves. The visuals make it so easy to understand. Now that I've subscribed I'm looking forward to seeing what else you share with us! I'll be directing my students and followers to these I'm sure.
There are a number of problems with consciously tipping the feet to try and put the skis on edge the most significant being that in concentric contraction the everter and inverter muscles extend the ankle. This will push a skier into the back seat. These muscles are also weak. I discuss these and many other issues in my blog at skimoves.me
No, you don't Use your feet in skiing. Your feet are locked into tight fitting ski boots. Your feet are Sensors that tell you what you are doing with the positioning of your upper body and weight. Aren't you moving your hips laterally to make your legs lean over so your boots lean over so your skis will be on edge? Doesn't the pressure your feel on the inside of your arch or the ball of your foot tell you if you are leaning over enough? 1:22 What you are showing here is 100% WRONG! When you Just lean your knees to the side to role your skis over A LITTLE, you are shifting your weight to the inside ski because you are Not Thinking about balancing on that outside ski. Just rolling you ski over like that is the most ignorant way to teach since "Tipping!" Try controlling your speed doing just that! 2:06 You aren't doing what you said here. You are repositioning your hips back into the fall line to create that leg angle as you change your weight from your downhill to uphill ski. Your hips are rocking from one side to the other to allow the skis to make the turns. You aren't rolling your feet over. You are standing on your feet and your upper body and weight change are allowing the skis to make turns.

In truth feet can do nothing because are cage in ski boot. All movement in ski start from ankles hips and knees and rotation of bones inside hips .
