Reply to comment by eliseannette in Researchers have discovered a new situation from the everyday environment where our crucial ability to perceive what is truly vertical is compromised: when our body pitches (body pitch) and moves at the same time (body motion) by giuliomagnifico

Your pelvis, relatively the center of mass, moving backwards and lower really balances you on the slopes. The leaning forward with the upper body is already coming from a posterior position.

I love watching skiers especially on moguls. I used to ski myself until I moved to Wisconsin. The little bunny hills aren't worth the lift line.

I also detected your science brain and smarts. Which I failed to mention.
