I'm not sure if this touches on the original question of that feeling sometimes of accelerating at the end of a turn, but it's something one of the CSIA instructors always says as his reason for not teaching carving to even intermediate skiers: "carving accelerates, skidding slows and controls speed..." but I don't want to go there now
I find there's also a kind of acceleration I feel at the end of the turn if I put a bit of pressure on the heels, as mentioned in HH's books, if I don't release right away and get the acceleration of my COM crossing and moving downhill; there is a feeling I get of moving
acrossthe hill, that is, in the direction my skis are pointing, but as soon as I release, gravity allows my body/COM to go more down the fall line. I find it rather fun to get that little zip across the hill, and in crud or soft but not deep snow, you can catch a little air and turn in the air, as the Des Lauriers describe: and "airplane" turn.
There's also the kind of acceleration one feels if one gets in the back seat coming across the hill and feel your skis zoom out ahead of you, but this is usually the "prelude to disaster" and often an ACL can be heard popping soon after. For those of us old enough to remember "hot dogging" this was known as a "jet turn". Often aided by "jet stix" jammed into the back of your old black Lange Comps...but I digress in my old age
It's all about "using the Force" as Harald says, and playing with it. There's nothing like that sensation of speed or flying when the edges carve deeply and you hit that deep inside racer-like movement like Harald's avatar. I just started to really experience it last Spring and I can't wait to get it back soon when the snow flies here.
