For me personally, side-loading is an interesting concept, but if I actively think about side-loading the inside ski, I inevitably end up with weight on my inside ski. Rather, if you concentrate on just tipping the free foot as aggressively as possible without pressuring it, as the edge angles increase side-loading will naturally happen. Your thoughts should really be concentrated on tipping and not allowing the stance leg to collapse at the apex of the turn.
If you're long at the apex with strong tipping and achieving high edge angles I can't imagine you not having some side-loading going on.
