Perry, without making too much of this, the pole plant is really the start of everything, you don't really need to think of the turn until you are ready to start it. As you are skiing the line, (bumps trees or other) you are scanning ahead 2-3 turns, you glance down to see where you want to turn, this is where you plant the pole, you ski over your plants not around them (in any method) which is part of a lot of peoples timing issues. (including my own)as soon ans that pole makes contact, you tip or whatever you want to call it with your edges and start the drift, carve or whatever (keeping this non-denominational) it's really that simple, you are just trying too hard.  Close the mind off to things you already know and be aware of the turn; it will flow.  You don't think about walking through doors, walking up/down stairs do you?
