The early weight transfer facilitates cawing a greater percentage of each turn and increases control over speed and direction. If you've tned this early weight shift yourself, you may have found it difficult to step from the relative security of the downhill ski to a higher platform. Next time, try the following. While traversing across the hill, pretend you are standing with one foot in the 'gutter' (downhill ski) and one foot on the 'curb' (uphill ski) (A). Now simply step from the gutter up to the curb (B). Stepping from one ski to another helps make the early weight shift a very natural move instead of an awkward one.
