For this drill like any don't let a wrong movement or lack of right movement creep in. In your video you let you body rotate so that you squared up to the ski.
Skiing fast with a pole plant, will never change or improve anyone's skiing.

You probably don't want to hear this, but you are not tipping at all....you are just lifting up your inside ski....just before your begin the manoeuvre, you are pushing with your stance leg - left, and forming a slight wedge. At the same time, you are winding up the upper body 'into' the direction of the turn...look at what you are doing with your right arm and shoulder...it's leading the turn - infact it is initaiating the turn...you are turning by rotary inputs, not tipping inputs.
I appreciate that the slope is less than ideal, but tipping is more than just lifting the inside ski..yes it proves that you have transfered balance, which is good. But tipping is the catalyst for the turn. It controls the turn and it causes the chain reaction of all the other minute movements in the rest of your body. If it helps, you can think of these movements as counter-tipping...equal and opposite.
Have you got yourself on a slantboard yet? This will highlight and demonstrate everything to you...make sure you have a mirror...
