"While there's no one way to fix any of those problems and immediately make someone a better skier, there is one major thing that intermediate skiers are often failing to do that holds them back. You hear "get forward" or "get to the front of the boot" pretty often, but what does that actually mean? Primarily it's about flexing your ankles and pressing your shins forward, but even that can be a bit confusing. The video below does a great job explaining where your weight should be."
"A lot of people explain it and think of it in different manners, but I primarily think of it as bending your ankles, not bending your knees. When people think to much about bending their knees, they often wind up in the backseat."
Intermediate and advanced skiing differ in strength, confidence, turning ability, and speed control. One common limiting factor for intermediates is failing to get forward into the front of the boot. Getting forward primarily means flexing the ankles and pressing the shins forward to maintain forward pressure over the skis. Overemphasizing knee bending can push the skier into a backseat position and reduce control. Visual and instructional resources can clarify where weight should be placed. Practicing ankle flexion and shin pressure helps improve balance, turning, and speed management, enabling progression from intermediate toward advanced technique.
