Anticipation
A means of powering a push or pivot initiation. During the transition, the upper body is kept facing down the falline, while the skis and legs are still turning across the falline. This creates a torque at the waist that can be used to rotate the skis downhill once they're unweighted and/or disengaged from the snow. This is the most energy and movement efficient way to power a downhill redirection of the skis during a transition.
