While standing stationary on a flat spot, put your skis about hip width apart.

Plant one ski pole on the inside of the tip of one ski and plant the other pole on the outside of the tail.

Lift the ski that is between the poles and twist the leg and foot inward to press the ski against the poles.

Close your eyes and feel the muscles along the top of the thigh and in the lower leg and foot as you turn the leg inward to press the ski against the poles.

This is the feeling you should strive for as you power and point the outside ski, steering it across the hill to shape your turn. This action complements the lifting of the toes--see previous two exercises: Shallow easy turns & Wedge garlands.

Do this to both sides.
