I think your skiing looks very nice and elegant. But i also think it is not carving in its pure sense-which is really allowing only the shape of your ski(s) to produce the turning. On the moderate slopes like in the video that could be achieved
I think you sometimes make two mistakes: 1.instead of using your hips and knees only to put your skis on their edges you're also trying to do that using your upper body (angulating it). This is not necessary, because this way you are in a way dragging..
...your ski up towards you instead of keeping it stuffed into the ground.
2.You're rotating your upper body (your "outside" hand reaching into the turn also indicates that) into the turn. Also not necessary: your skis will take care of the turn on their own, just give them all the presure you can produce!
Correcting these two will also make you ski more easily and effectively (less muscle pain).
Your skiing is good, but there is too much movement with the hands, try not to clap your hands. All you have to do is keep them out and forward and pole plant like usual. If you clap alot, it sorta looks like your skiing an invisable Slalom course with the cross blocking and all. but other than that good skiing!
Your putting too much weight on the inside ski, causing your inverse snowplow. Try lifting the inside ski, which should help you out a bit. Nice vertical movement between the turns.
Good stance and alignment, but you are tipping too far inside without adequate counter tipping of the upper body. If you work on appropriate upper/lower body separation you can move the hips in while allowing the shoulders to work more to the outside over the outside ski. Your upper body looks too stiff like you forgot to take the clothes hanger out of your jacket. Without poles, practice touching the side of your boot with your outside hand through the belly of the turn, move up then switch.
Well I can't say anything about your skiing skills. I love skiing but I'm not the professional to notice something wrong ;-). But all motions look very smooth!
What I like most is the music that perfectly fits the winter and snow atmosphere :-)
I've been skiing for quite some time now, certainly for 15+ years now, since I was very little... Never did it on top level, though.... always recreational skier... It is quite good, but very far from perfect/what is my idea/how I would like to ski... But into the music I've only ventured two years ago with clarinet... and a year ago added alto sax, too, though I really try to focus on the clarinet now... I wish I could play my clarinet at least as good as I can ski...:D
I didn't think there was much wrong before. Looking back at the other vid your upper body seperation is better in this video. I think your shoulders are more horizontal now, much less hand dragging on the snow. Great skiing.

your form is pretty good. the only thing i would have to say is keep your inside hand from dropping right after you initiate your turn.

then you have still 13 years time on your clarinet ;-)
But better focus on sax, it's just the better instrument :-D

Thank you for the kind comment - I still have a little bit of problem with the slightly diverging skis, especially at the turn initiation...
