It is really no different than developing muscles and the ability to move your feet within the boot. Ankle and feet flexibiluity are keys to skiing well, just ask Harald Harb :D. But seriously, very small movements in the feet and ankle translate to signifcant impact on the skis. Ibcreased felaxibility and mobility in the ankles also aid in balance and in weight transfer. all keys to good skiing. Lastly it really isn't ankle flexibilty that were ar increasing, it is the foots mobility in relation to the ankle, again completeky necessary when tipping the ski in either direction.

So ask yourself the question, how do you tip your ski to the little toe edge? You do this with ankle and foot flexibility, and the proper use if the muscles that produce this resullt.

Other than this, all I can say is that the result for me has been huge.
