This!! Use the slope of the hill to decrease your speed. Turn shape is what controls your speed, not breaking. And when you add in a carve turn it's heaven. Also I found the wider ski on the groomers torqued the knees a little. My tuned down race skis don't do that.
I'm not sure about this "leg rotation" as it relates to our CSIA terminology. I think we call it counter rotation. Where the face/upper body is looking downhill, but the skis are travelling across the hill. @Skisailor is that correct?
In PSIA world, leg rotation simply refers to our ability to turn our femurs in our hip sockets. Pelvis belongs to the upper body. Legs to the lower body. It commonly results in counter rotation but it could also mean the legs are simply rotating faster than the upper body is turning.
In short radius turns it does mean that shoulders and hips are facing downhill while legs turn underneath. But in longer radius turns we don't face straight down the hill. We might only be 10 or 20 degrees off our ski tips. But that means the legs turn more than the upper body! Hence - leg rotation.
