 Poster: A snowHead

Does anyone here lead with outside ski slightly in front of the other when turning? Why?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Boohoo, I was looking forward to= its because you turn your shoulders before the feet/skis, your hips aren’t far enough forward, your ankles aren’t flexed enough, you aren’t using the front of the ski, use more angulation from the knee not the hip, modern carving uses skies matched in the steering phase, you probably learnt to ski by linking traverses, type thread.

Not normally, but as a drill to Play around with hip position I think it can be useful, especially for those who ski with their hips too open.
BTW, the thread that RJS linked to is the opposite of the question in the OP, which asked about outer tip lead.

Telemark like turns can be a useful drill to exaggerate changes in fore/aft balance if the skiers outside foot is lagging too far behind and not supporting their center of mass. Keep in mind it is just a drill to help develop skiers with a particular skill deficiency... not a technique that is useful on a regular basis (unless of course you are actually on tele gear).
