In other words, the weight shifts forward rather than pressing your toes down? I find pressing my toes down throws me into the backseat.
You’re right! Be careful of “pressing toes down” even though that may be common advice. Stand in your boots and try it with awareness; you’ll realize it actually opens your ankles and pushes you back! Instead, try raising your toes - keep the balls of the feet down and lift the toes toward the roof of the boot. That encourages your ankle to flex. Try lifting the toes this way as you ski and turn. I find it reminds me to keep forward in an athletic stance.

@VTsnowflower, I've decided this will be my mantra for the weekend. I've been concentrating on ball and pinky toe for the last few weeks, now I'm going to add this into the mix to help keep me in the front seat :smile: Can't wait to get out there on Sunday!!!
