Your video from last year is coming up as private when I try to watch it. I'd be interested in seeing it. (If you don't want it to be generally available on YouTube, just change it to unlisted but post a link here.)
I'm kind of surprised you felt there was a collision risk at ABasin. Most of the time I just feel that way before the other mountains open up. By late November or early December, I generally don't find it to be all that crowded. That said, we haven't had a great snow year thus far in central CO so terrain is a little slow opening.
I won't give much feedback on the video you posted from camp, as I'm sure the coaches gave you better feedback than I am able to do. One thing I will agree with you on, however, is faster tempo. You are staying in your turn long enough that you bleed all the energy out of it. If you were to release and head into the next turn a half second sooner, you would get much more of a dynamic feeling to your skiing. Of course, my skiing often ends up looking like that at camp because I am concentrating on a particular movement more than on the overall flow of my skiing.
So glad you got a chance to get to camp despite the pandemic!
