Anyway, re the question of how much pressure and timing, in my personal skiing, it would depend on what type of turn and terrain. Setting aside the extreme cases of hop turns in steeps and wedge christies in shallows, and just focusing on standard parallel turns, the timing and pressure will be affected by things like my choice of transition. Am I getting onto my old inside ski and it’s little toe edge at end of previous turn? Am I choosing a neutral transition with very equal pressure/weight on the flats of both skis? It’s also affected by the gear and the size turn I want. Am I trying to get a carved short turn from a softer ski, or the same short turn from a stiffer ski? There’s no one answer. So then, what’s the criteria for what is appropriate? Perhaps the answer is how much rotational input one wants. If only on the outer ski, I don’t think we can impart much rotational force. If, pressuring the inside ski a lot, as in a wedge christies, we can impart quite a lot of rotational input. Put another way, if all we want is park and ride, no problem getting onto the outside ski exclusively and early. But, if we want to be nimble and fluid throughout the turn, we need to use the inside ski
