IF you want to get in the driver's seat, then pulling a foot/feet back would be a good thing to do.
When would it be useful to be in the driver's seat? simple answer.
If I have my skis on, I like to be in the driver's seat.
So, when should I have tension to keep/pull the feet back? The answer is obvious.
There is no inconsistency with "keep my feet back" and "pull my feet back."
It's just a matter of degree in the same movement/effort .
If you want to move the feet back, a general rule for when it is easier to move the feet back is when they are lightened.
Flexing the inside leg during tipping lightens it. It is easier to pull it back.
The point at which one flexes and rolls through the transition at the top of the turn, is an obvious point that is easier to pull both skis back.
Choose your medicine.
Another simple rule is that I would rather stay out of the back seat than try to get back in the front seat once I lose it.
But everyone loses it. The main thing is not trying to ski in a position but a be able to understand and control the movements.

But on this forum we can find many pictures and videos that show a lifted free foot with a strong pullback. Learning to balance over the outside ski while managing the inside foot is a fundamental requirement of becoming an advanced PMTS skier and it starts with Book 1.

I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing?

How does a skier PUSH the inside hip forward?
emakarios wrote:CO Steve, I think Jay was referring to counteracting, not foot pullback. Counter rotating the upper body in the opposite direction of the ski turn would result in a inside hip forward and an outside hip back. Pulling the foot back, esp the inside foot back in a turn is the discussion here.
