My understanding is in a brushed carve turn you have two thicker lines in the snow due to a lower edge angle, but the inside ski does not erase the line of the outside ski and the two lines are equal distance. While a skidded turn the inside ski can erase the line of the outside ski usually due to a twist in the skis or some other inefficient movement. In a highly carved turn you make two pencil marks in the snow. Is the BPSRT similar to a carved turn with slightly thicker lines somewhere in between the brushed and carved turn?

When you practice releasing to new edges, you can hold back the uphill foot so that you roll it to 4th toe, 3rd toe, etc. If you dial in these sensations on dry land, you'll be ahead of the game when you get to snow. You can also practice on a flat surface if you don't have a tipping board. Drag a mirror in front of you if you can so you can visually verify the degree of tipping on the new stance foot.
