Eliminate the Hip Dumping, and Become a Better Aligned Skier

Hip dumping is what happens when a skier tries to get more edge angle by dropping the hip into the turn instead of tipping from the feet. It looks dynamic from the lift. From the snow, it's a skidded turn with the weight on the wrong ski.

It's one of the most common habits I see in strong intermediate and advanced skiers, and one of the hardest to feel from the inside, because it feels like you're doing more.
