Zak has found some great Video for us to learn from

Zak has forwarded me a Youtube link of some awesome video that displays MANY of the attributes of skiing that we have been talking about and working on.
Listen to the dialogue and watch and you will see some outstanding examples of some great ski fundamentals.
I list a few things to look for below. what I suggest is that you watch the clip. Then look over the list below. Or perhaps you have your own thought in mind. Then watch the clip with that item in mind. Trying to key on every thing in this list will not likely be productive.

Some of my key thought are:
1) The body is able to be stable because the work is being done by the feet and legs
2) Watch the rolling of the ankle and the lower leg and knee to help strengthen the edge angle and pressure on the outside ski.
3) Watch Travis move just enough up and strongly forward in the transition of each turn to keep him dynamically balanced forward on his skis
4) With this; both ankles are flexed forward providing balance to the front of the ski and allowing a position from which the ankles and lower legs can roll more powerfully to engage the edging motion. Of course, the majority of the edging is due to the extreme angulation and the foot being far outside the body, BUT the ankle and knee start the action and are paramount to the success of a well executed turn.
5) See how the inside knee is tucked against the chest in the deepest part of the turn; with the ankle flexed forward and the heel tending to be up against the butt in order to allow the extreme angulation and edge angle of the outside ski.
6) The inside ski mimics the outside ski, but the outside ski is the dominant and controlling ski.
7) The hands are quiet and in their "zone" for balance. Pay particular attention to the inside hand and how (when it stays in position) it helps to strengthen the position of the inside shoulder, further strengthening the balance to the dominant outside ski.
8) The placement of the turn is well above the gate with the apex above and somewhat outside the gate with the turn finishing at and tight on the gate.
9) The tuck is not unnecessarily low, but Travis works to be as aerodynamic as possible while allowing his legs and feet to make the best turns possible. Note that his hands and arms are as much as possible, working to deflect the wind away from his chest and his head(held low to stay out of the wind).
10) A few times and in the GS sequence Travis talks about "pushing (down on the outside ski)through the apex". Our words are usually: "build pressure (by pushing smoothly and dynamically through the leg and foot) from the top of the turn into the apex.(fall line)
11) Watch as in the the last DH sequence he moves over a roller bump; He will raise slightly to prepare, the roll his body forward and down to press down and realign with the new terrain on the back side of the bump.
