Does a push off only occur with an up movement in transition or are there other movement mistakes that can result in a push off in the transition that don't involve an extension?

If I was to wager... I'd bet you have a push off of some sort. Very few have no push off... so it is an easy wager.

That is because they have to use a push off, they developed it through the wedge progression and wedge christie, and can't get out of it. Look at Mike Rogan's articles, he wedges out of the turns. Not efficient, not high end skiing and not much fun..
