Working on the figure of 8 - we get use to the rhythm it generates.
Reminder of Figure of 8
As you edge your skis in the blue section you should be on the toes of your skis as you about to start the turn (1). You then apply lots of power (2), the skis bite and turn and ping “Ping” forward (3). You then need to let your legs collapse underneath you whilst you recover the fronts of your skis (4). And then start the whole process over again with (1). The turn to the right and the turn to left combine to cerate a figure of 8 pattern that your skies follow relative to your upper body.
You can see this clearly in the photos below.
When skiing we don't simply ski in 2 dimensions feet out to the left - feet out to the right. Instead we can use the stability of the ski to pitch back and forth. This has the added affect that we can get the tip of the ski to change shape and take the lead in the arc we want to carve in the turn. The figure of 8 shifts our centre of mass from the front of the ski to the tail of the ski as it accelerates in the “ping”. But more importantly we need to get back onto the toes again during the recovery phase. In combination of setting up the new edge and recovering onto the toes it allows us to dictate the precise line the skis take without loosing any speed we have just gained form the acceleration just gained.
Repeating this figure of 8 shape you can build up a rhythm and trampoline affect which in turn will encourage the acceleration in the turns.
