Byron,

In the new world of shaped skis, there is much less need to push against the front of your ski boot. Don't push plastic. The stiffness of a modern boot helps keep it more laterally rigid so that as you bring the boot to an edge on the snow, the ski comes up off the snow with it.

It's much more about rolling your knees from side to side to turn, and, using the muscles in your feet to power his tipping. Simply focus on maintaining light contact between your shins and the boot's tongue. You will keep your knees flexed with weight more toward the center and balls of your feet. If you feel the back of the boot touching the calf, start centering and refeel the front contact.

Just a quick mini lesson.
