Here's a topic for some fun discussion.
You can close and open your ankles. This movement tilts the lower leg forward or upright, thus moving the knee fore-aft.
You can bend your ankles left and right, laterally. This movement tips the boots/skis onto their edges.
You can rotate your feet at the ankles (which twists the lower leg) to point the forefeet inward or outward, left or right.
What do you do with your ankles as you ski?
Instructors, do you teach your clients to do anything with their ankles?
