I am not so good at the explaining, but here goes...

Typically, I would plant downhill and allow the skisto more laterally and then go down hill, a wide sweeping turn. The problem is that you have now plpaced your body in a postion where its traveling laterally and not "forw-agonally"  its a term used at the clinic, meaning your body should always be heading back intot he next fall line and forward, so forward and diagonally. If you then were to pole plant slightly froward and towards the intended direction, andthen plant and rock forward with your arm, your body will head in that direction past the pole plant. So it's not a dramtic move but it keep the entire body moving fluently into the next turn. Does that make sense? Skiing past the pole is moving laterally and usually leaves the body behind and not forward.
