After spending a lot of time on the tipping board this fall, I was able to maximize my time on snow this year. Areas of focus were stance ski balance in the high-C, concomitant LTE tipping and flexing, and NO PUSHING.

Youtube and vimeo totally ruin the frame rate for some reason.

Just like dental school, I will submit a self-evaluation:
Is the stance width appropriate for the size of the skier? Yes
Does the release start by flexing the outside leg? Yes
Is there a transfer to the LTE? Yes
Does LTE tipping lead engagement to the new turn? Could be better but usually.
Is there a point in the transition where both legs are flexed equally? Yes
Are the feet pulled back at transition? Yes
Is the inside foot held back throughout the turn? Could be better.
Is there enough CB and CA and is the timing right? Need more of both.
Is the pelvis included in the CB/CA movement Inside hip higher? Improving but could be better.
Strong inside arm, pole tip moving forward? Yes
Is the inside leg flexing and tipping as the turn progresses? Yes
Does the outside leg extend naturally (no pushing) as the turn progresses? Yes
Does LTE tipping of the inside foot continue throughout the turn? Most of the time
Does the weight shift go to the LTE during transition? I don't understand this
Is the skier balanced over the outside ski? Yes
Is there a pole touch and how is the movement and timing? Undisciplined
Is the pole touch a no swing? Mostly
Alignment - watch the skis and knees carefully - does anything look like it needs go be tipped in or out? No idea
