Body moving in and feet moving out.

That is what I see too.Looks to me her upper body barely moves side to side from the fall line but I am no expert so…
We watching the same video?Body moving in and feet moving out
Correction: she's worked on using dynamic movements to keep the body static so much that she no longer has to think about it.I have to keep my upper body still
I haven’t been a great fan of Deb Armstrong’s instruction before but this piece is really very good. It’s absolutely spot on, clear and, if implemented, will move even a very good skier to a higher level. It is absolutely worth watching and absorbing. I’d even recommend it to several of the random Australian YouTube coaches who routinely show in their skiing some of the deficiencies demonstrated by Wiseman and so ably corrected by Armstrong.I found this Deb Armstrong video and a skier named Scot Wiseman (on here?). Found it very good on explaining some of the importance/using of the hips for directing pressure on the skis edge and making it bite better and turn sharper. Crusial in racing, fun as hell when just playing around with the G-forces.
It was supposed to say both, i.e. skis out and body in, but the sentence was garbled so I chopped it off and left the body in part. Since that was the part unacknowledged. The middle looks mostly feet out. But the drone is getting far away.That is not what I see.
Yeah, the green has too much weight on the inside ski and a framing, or because he's a.. framing.Several years ago i posted the same picture asking about shoulders and i realized that my MA skills did not evolve much (if at all).
Is there any hip difference between the two? They look very similar but somehow the 2 images give very different "feel". I can pinpoint a tiny a-frame and a ski divergence for the green one. If he would move the knee a bit on the inside, would that fix the whole story or there is some subtlety in hip position that I can't see?

Explain why you think that way?I still think he does have to much weight on the inside ski he could fix this be having his feet closer together.
Can you explain baxk?Green may be on the outside ski, but not over it. He's baxk and in park and riding. He's most likely thinking that high edge angles start by moving the hip inside. The inside ski is a dingle berry just dangling along for the ride. Angulation is happening at the lumbar, not top of femur... but its a moment in time, not an entire turn.
Sherman, i don't have the inclination to elaborate, but read this post, explained very well.View attachment 195932
The green skier needs to move his inside foot closer to the outside leg when his goal is to make turns like this one. People are suggesting that he move his inside knee farther out, but if he does that air will show between his upper legs. That's not something to work towards.
If he moves his inside foot over close to the outside lower leg, the A-frame will go away. To keep the edge angles of both skis equal, he should assertively tip that inside ski onto its little toe edge as he moves the foot inward. At this point the inside ski is at a slightly lower angle that the outside ski.
His skis won't have as much horizontal separation across the snow as the red skier, but that's because he isn't going as fast.
He may think he will fall down onto that inside leg if he moves its foot over near that outside leg. Nope. He needs to just learn to do it and learn to stay balanced. The body will figure out how much angulation is needed. At his current speed, he won't need as much inclination in the shoulders as the faster red skier. If he did that, he probably would fall over.
His torso is more upright than the red skier. From this camera angle I can't confirm, but he is probably in the back seat. I'd suggest he assume a more aggressive upper body lean, as if he were trying to break a door in with his head. Well, not that aggressive, but it may feel that way to him at first.
Look at my post below.Explain why you think that way?
