I'm not quite sure of the point of the OP, but he states that he thinks edging at the end of the turn causes acceleration, which taken to the logical extreme - a hop turn, is clearly not true. Even in a rounder turn on a less steep slope, I am still trying to edge to get grip. I don't ever see anyone getting great grip and rebound and think 'man that guy needs to skid more'.
That's not the point of the op. He's really refering to the edge angle coming in to the transition in linked turns on steeps. Nothing to do with hop turns. It's generally accepted that one wouldn't drift off a cliff intentionally. Especially for a misinterpretation.
But ok, I get it. Nice skiing!
