Let me understand this better: are you suggesting to actively start CA after transition? Do you really need to do it?
I ask because after the transition my hips are already facing somewhat to the outside of the new turn (kind of square to the skis), so I let the legs extend as the new turn develops and as the skis carve (or brush carve) and come around they effectively come into a deeper counter action. In other words, I find myself mostly holding hip position and letting the lower body bring on the CA. Another way to put it is that I "resist rotation of the upper body with the turn" rather than actively going for the CA. Does that make sense?
Maybe I am doing it wrong, but for short turns this seems to work well. In longer turns I do have to be more active with the upper body to achieve CA.
