Now bend at the knees (not the waist) like you're pressuring your chins against the boot tongues.

I was doing this all wrong, couldn't work it out at all, until I realized you probably meant shins, not chins.

Actually, it's a helpful description, thanks. I'm something of a follower of PMTS - how do these turns fit in with that, do you know? The PMTS turn for dealing with all conditions is referred to as the Bullet-proof Short Radius Turn and doesn't seem to feature any kind of hop, not in the video I've seen anyway. The specific problem I was trying to deal with was when you have a steep slope with snow you can't 'trust' - often soft slush mixed with big lumps of firm snow which tend to take my skis out from under me, which makes me want to get as much above the snow to make the turn as I can.
