He's certainly a strong, athletic skier. From a PMTS perspective, the deep snow makes it difficult to assess lower body movements, but here's Max_501's MA checklist and my attempted answers:

Does the release start by flexing the outside leg? Difficult to see
Does LTE tipping lead engagement to the new turn? Difficult to see
Are the feet pulled back at transition? Difficult to see
Is the inside foot held back throughout the turn? Difficult to see
Is there enough CB and CA and is the timing right? No, no and no
Strong inside arm? No, the inside hand swings back/down on every turn
Is the pelvis included in the CB/CA movement? No. He doesn't CA/CB much. He mostly leans.
Is the inside leg flexed as the turn progresses? Difficult to see
Does the outside leg extend naturally (no pushing) as the turn progresses? Difficult to see
Does LTE tipping continue throughout the turn? Difficult to see
Is there a pole touch and how is the movement and timing? There's a pole touch but it's a swing-forward movement, not a NSPP.
Timing is good.

Alignment - watch the skis and knees carefully - does anything look like it needs to be tipped in or out? Difficult to see

Conclusions:
The upper body movements we can see do not appear to be PMTS-inspired.
Impossible to suggest a SMIM, since we can't see half the skier's body.
This video, while exciting to watch, is unsuitable for MA.
