Be careful that you don't incorporate extension of the old free leg into the motion of lifting and tipping the old stance foot. We call that the false Phantom. Try some gentle traverses where you balance on LTE of the uphill ski while you lift the downhill ski up and then tap it back down repeatedly. Focus on just lifting the downhill ski by flexing the downhill leg. The uphill leg that you are balancing on should not be involved.

Second it's really not an intermedaite exercise and requires a level of one footed balance that many don't possess. The tried and true PMTS drills to develop flexion are superior in my opinion. The double pole drag and the boot touch drill (using leg flexion to get shorter) are easier and imo supreior for ridding one of extension.
