A couple of other obvious things I noticed is your hands dropping to your hips and not out at the home base position. Your pole plants are swinging forward toward the tips of your skis. You also appear to be leaning in during the turns and not counteracting and counter balancing. (See the angry mother video series to help with the pole swing and counteracting after getting the phantom move in place.)
I thought Movement Analysis forum exists exactly for this kind of feedback when learning by oneself?
will,
Here's a precursor to tipping that will make your tipping efforts more successful. Early in Expert Skier, Harald points out two things that will immediately improve your skiing.
1) narrow your stance. Bring your feet close together. That means a few finger widths of air gap between the boots or less. Think pull your feet together ... not your knees because that thought will likely activate different muscles.
2) balance on one ski. Lift the inside ski to prove that your weight and balance are on the outside ski. Keep the inside ski lifted for the whole turn. Do this for the next several months ("lifting is for learning, lightening is for expert skiers") It's difficult to tip a weighted ski; whereas it's "easy" to tip an unweighted inside ski. Lifting means a centimeter or a few cm off the snow, just enough to be off the snow. Lifting higher than that is not productive....
