Training Program to become stronger alpine Skier?

Question

I'd like to hear from someone who is more of an advanced downhill skier, like someone who has competed in slalom or mogul events, or is a veteran back-country skier.

Is there a template program you followed to become a stronger skier, something suggested to you by a coach or a personal trainer?

Is there a specific muscle group in your core or lower body you would suggest focusing on?

It can be either for moguls, slalom, glades, back country, whatever I like all kinds of skiing. I'm already a good skier, I just want to become better, and I think being physically stronger in the right places can help just as much as going out on the mountain and putting a bunch of hours in.

This is not a duplicate of this question which is the closest I could find, because this post just talks about someone with knee problems.

Thanks!

I'm a ski instructor who is working on similar things. I picked up a copy of "Total Skiing" by Chris Fellows, and it has a lot of useful information.

Specifically, it has a set of evaluations for physical strength and balance, and then a set of exercises to work on for each of the areas.
