Metric for inside ski lead

Since you're already tracking boot paths could you calculate the inside ski lead? An even higher level metric would be counter.

This would be kind of like turn closure with an appropriate range for different types of turns and situations.

Been working on excessive counter in my hips and using edging similarity as a proxy but this would be more direct and could include targeted feedback and drills to improve. A monitor mode for this would be great as well.

I think in general, measuring things like this and getting them calibrated by instructors would benefit coaching a lot. Often the places where improvements are needed are currently not directly captured.

    Lead change metric

    Lead change can be too much, resulting in weight not being transferred completely to the outside ski. In other words too much lead change results in weight on the inside ski. It would be interesting to know how much lead change is too much. Is there already a metric that keys in on lead change but is covered by another metric?
