• Control the relationship of the Center of Mass to the Base of Support to direct pressure along the length of the skis.
• Control pressure from ski to ski and direct pressure toward the outside ski.
• Control the skis’ rotation with leg rotation separate from the upper body.
• Regulate the magnitude of pressure through ski/snow interaction.
