Movement Analysis (MA): What is your context?

Movement Analysis (MA) refers to the way skiing is subjectively viewed and judged. It then becomes the basis for instruction and coaching drills and exercises (corrections).
Do you think skiing is caused by technique? Or is the inverse true and you think that what is referred to as technique is actually the result of how the body naturally adjusts to align with and balance against the forces of skiing?
