Rotated

 

ROTATED

This is a rotational state in which the pelvis and torso face towards the inside of the turn.  During a left turn, the pelvis and torso would be facing left of the direction the skis are pointing.   It's a body position most commonly seen at the start of the turn, when a skier faces downhill as they enter the new turn, because they chose to not eliminate the prior turn's counter during the transition.  It can also be used to exert a bit of extra pressure to the front of the ski, to sharpen the turn without having to increase edge angle.
