Jim....not sure this will help but if I may re-iterate what fore/aft balance means to me:


Being able to pressure a ski evenly tip to tail, efficiently is my ultimate goal for all skiing conditions. First thing I recognize if I'm skiing poorly is my fore/aft balance is off...I'm just not being efficient with my movements.

To further explain:

Those movements would include (but not limited to),precise pole planting, edge to edge management, and that feeling under my feet that gives me feedback and lets me know if I'm  stacked and balanced over the the ski as its energy and snow contact points move from tip to tail or any where on that ski.

At least this is what I feel and how I would describe it...best,  g
