You didn't tipped enough to have a LTE at the end of your turn in that video. You are still in a wedge at the end of your turn. Take the steps I posted, they are what you need to practice. You can not perform a "Phantom Move" with your skis in a wedge. The basic foundation of PMTS is transfer to the LTE, you can't accomplish that if you are in a wedge!!

SMIM = Single most important movement.
It's the FIRST movement you need to progress. You probably think that LTE is there, but is not there. However there is not the right way.
h.harb wrote:Finish your turn and make sure the inside ski is parallel before you transfer or start a new movement. Hold it parallel to transfer to the LTE. That's it, complete, no more needed, except practicing correctly.

Perhaps it would be better to try a less steep slope, starting closer to the cameraman and pass in front of him, continuing a few more turn.
So we can see something more

I used to spend my ski days pounding bumps and off-piste double blacks at whatever mountain I was at (including Whistler/Blackcomb). When I got serious about improving my skiing via PMTS, I re-discovered the thrill that can be enjoyed on easy groomers (Green or light Blue). Learning and owning new movements requires hours of focused practice without worrying about picking up excessive speed or losing control and flailing over some cliff. Most of the drills in the books are meant to be performed on just that sort of terrain... and at very slow speeds. Whistler has endless miles of groomers that are perfect for that.
(Out of curiosity, why such fat skis? 108mm skis are pretty much useless for anything less than knee-deep powder.)
