seriously, how can you ankles be more mobile if they aare locked in your boots? I can see if you had more flexiblility in hips, knees, legs or you were countering more creating more intertia but how is it possible to move your ankle more deeply? I can only move my ankles laterally maybe 2mm.

Hey, if breathing through my nose can improve my skiing, why is it illogical that training the muscles closest to the ski and snow has no value? My memory recalls you stating that you ski Big Toe Edge to Little To Edge. How do you do this without engaging your feet? Balance, both front and back, is also sensed and the feet. Maybe your next PSIA lesson will tout the value of using your feet muscles! I did take a PSIA lesson in Alta 3 years ago and one drill was to imagine your feet were a slithering snake and use that image to make turns.

In part the answer to your quest is the kinetic chain of movement, when started in the feet, drives the knees into  better tipping motions.  The devil is in the details.
