Uphill, or downhill? In other words, are you looking where you're going when you land, or are you looking uphill, or down at your skiis, etc?

just let it flow, it varries, pending on how fast you set your spin

Right before I land I look at the landing but then I look uphill so I don't land on my face, then I do a big slow down carve where I see the outrun and depending on what I see I either revert or ski around switch.

i've found it best to look at the landing before your last 90 degree spin then when you land look back up at the knuckle, it helps you stand straight

I look to the side at the babes and give them the "shooter", then my knees bucket when i hit the tranny to flat part and I wake up 2 minutes later with a smell of burnt toast.

i look down at the tips of my skis, then quickly over my shoulder in order to avoid tourists and gapers

Up at the takeoff, as that keeps my body up so I don't flop over like an underinflated hot air baloon.
