You are welcome! I hope that you find it effective when you get a chance to practice on snow,.

So when I watched your demonstration in bare feet I noticed that you were rolling from big toe to little toe. This is an expression that I have heard for a long time. I worked in the ski industry 40 + years and have been involved in many coaching clinics. Big toe Little Toe

what about the foot movement in up and down? some expert speack about push down tip of the foot first part turn and at the end push up , coorect?

In our technique, we manage fore/aft balance primarily by moving the feet forwards and rearwards beneath the hips: We pull the feet back (to create tip pressure) or slide them ahead (to shift pressure rearward, toward the tails). One can also press the forefoot down and lift it up, but that doesn't have as big of an influence as pulling the feet back or moving them forward.

And the best opportunity to pull the soon-to-be new downhill foot back is during the transition when you are rolling it from little toe edge to big toe edge.

Ankle angulation, right?

No :-) you will not be able to bend the boot by force of the foot

​@@SNiboDuh Ankle angulation is not about bending the boot. It is about using the effect of kinetic chain by applying pressure on the side of the boot and start tipping by applying torque on the sidewall of the boot. When you focus on the feet and engage them first, as opposed to just moving the knees only, you use the effect of kinetic chain to coordinate the movements. Actually, this is a question of terminology. The name Ankle angulation is from Ron LeMaster Ultimate Skiing. You can like it or not;). If your prefer to use "foot eversion", I don't mind.;)

When encountering partial boilerplate on a steep slope, I have found it helpful to think: big toe! Big toe! In addition to effectively engaging additional edge angle, it also encourages me to get more weight forward at the same time.

​@@SNiboDuhWhat was shown in this video using the bare feet can be done inside the boot and anyone who is having trouble improving their skiing and doesn't think that this is possible, most likely will never improve.
