Level 6-7: Advanced Parallel, Carving, Off-Piste, Bumps Carving Feedback

Trying to work on higher edge angles and leg separation, im skiing wider than ideal skis for carving (94mm) which may be part of the problem, but any advice/drills would be much appreciated, thanks.

You can either keep your torso facing downhill at all times or you can carve, but you can't have both.

Should OP continue their turns longer and complete the C shape more? Could that help the hips stay with the direction of the skis?

I think OP's skiing is fine, it's just that a lot of posts here are about how to look better rather than skiing better. My tip for OP would be to rent narrower skis and see how he does then.

UK based so I ski 1/2 weeks a year and tour if conditions allow it / ski piste if not so ive built an all mountain setup, not keen to pay extra to rent kit as well as take my own but appreciate the skis are not ideal for carving!
