Interesting, we have 3 different viewers looking at the same picture but with 3 different versions of what they see.
^^This. Technical talk can be off-putting at first because of the seeming conflict among those making the posts.Not really 3 different version. Marko specified the causes. The others are stating the symptoms and fixes.
Like James said, one is rolling through the turn and the other is just posing the turn. This should be lots more evident when viewed in a video or real life.
Can you explain baxk?
We my skiing gets ragged I'm going to remind myself not to look down the "fault line"They look at different things: the one on the left is looking at the next turn, the one on the right is looking down the fault line.
Do you mind explaining this one a bit more? I think this might be the answer to the question that I tried to ask but couldn't formulateAngulation is happening at the lumbar, not top of femur..

The simple pendulum = what we should do from the feet up to the hip sockets
The sessions and instructor/student relationship between Deb & Scott are joyful to watch.Deb has more on Scott's skiing. Less up movement.
Ted demos.
The Italians have always been such beautiful skiers. This master instructor Valerio knows wtf he is talking about.Angulation at the femurs means more of the angles are happening as the pelvis (and whole upper body) rotates laterally at the ball/socket joint at the femoral head. Shoulders and hips tilt approximately the same amount - like orange guy.
Angulation at the lumbar spine means the angles are happening more by bending of the lumbar region of the spine - the 5 vertebrae (L1->L5) that are just above the pelvis. Shoulders and hips tilt different amounts with the lumbar spine being bent laterally. That means side loading on the spine which it isn't so well equipped to handle - not such a good idea.

The original JAM vid (featuring the green guy at 2:27) - unfortunately no vid of green, just a static image. Can turn on english captions for wording.
