Toward the tail of the skis; behind the bindings.

Toward the tail of the skis; behind the bindings.

• A. Apex
• B. Aft
• C. Axis
• D. Anticipation

Answer: (B)

Aft is the term for toward the tail of the ski, behind the bindings. In ski vocabulary, fore and aft describe positions along the length of the ski, with aft pointing toward the ski’s tail and front (or fore) toward the tip. So “toward the tail; behind the bindings” correctly identifies being aft. The other terms don’t describe a position along the ski: apex refers to a peak or high point, axis means a central line or rotation concept, and anticipation is a mental skill about predicting terrain, not a location on the ski.
