Jim your observation is correct but the physics is where you are making the mistake. If with my normal uncorrected stance my foot is pronated, my knee and ankle is insde of foot and the ski is flat, my feet ankle and knee are alreday in a position that would engage the ski, but it is not. A knock kneed skier has to go much further than an aligned skier to engage the inside eedge and there are limits to have far inside we can move which ultimatley limits tipping ability and the ability to produce edge angles. All this is reversed for the bowlegged skier. When you cant a a knock kneed skier it is alway raising the inside of the boot pushing the stance outward. The result is that much less movement is required to engage the inside edge.

IMO Harald is the expert on thsi subject and if you re-read his work on alignment in ACBAES 1 I am mimicking his comments on the subject, with significant personal experience being so knock kneed.
