The Language is German and I understand the instruction he is giving. His instruction is better than most, 70% better than most of the other stuff I see from anyone else on the internet. He's talking about fore/aft balance at the top of the arc, inside leg tipping, but he's talking about the knee tipping, he recommends "extreme" counter acting to get a stable upper body. His instructions are almost correct, his implementation not so much.
He's hugely knocked kneed, (Tecnica boots) that is why he's an extreme counteracting freak, his CA is over-done and too exaggerated. It's for this reason he has to extend to get out of the arc to recenter, not very efficient. His butt is dragging on the inside of the arc, but not the good part, he's actually way back on his skis. It's very soft snow, so he can get away with it. Notice his upper body is jacked forward at the waist, this is his biggest technical defect. . This is too extreme, requiring lots of excess movement, like standing up and twisting to the other extreme for CA, for the next arc.. Lots of what he is doing is compensating for poor alignment. the extreme hip counter is mostly due to his alignment, the CA helps him get his outside leg straighter.
THe skiing model is not my favorite, the instruction can work for some, but it has some flaws. It's also a one trick pony style, not very useful for short turns or in bumps.
