Max,
The only real instructional phase occurs early in the video. My guess is that the PSIA concept of "fore-agonal" is being presented. In the post fall line portion of the C shaped turn, shoulders and hips should not be square to the skis, but, facing both ahead and down the mountain. Same would be true for projecting a skiers mass both down the hill and forward.
For sure he is NOT demonstrating the PSIA keep your feet apart dogma! Why is it that whenever I see somebody skiing really good, the feet are much closer together than is taught?
Other than that, I think he's demonstrating nice, controlled bump skiing and playing with mountain. This would be consistent with a clinic approach of displaying a style that the audience can video work toward emulating. More relaxed, square and taller in general, but, he can flex pretty deep whenever he wants.
stance width should be functional IE the stance should faclitate what we are trying to accomplish. I think the stance should be much narrower than the shoulder width of 5-7 year that was for sure being taught.
for angnoal to me is to move your COM into the new turn so that you can be on edge well before the fall line. It is not which way any part of us is pointed. I also think that sometime we should delay those movement so that our feet can get further away from us.
