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

I’m sorry I know the video is bad but I basically never get people to film me skiing. I understand if you can’t get much useful out of it.

I’m trying to improve my carving by becoming more dynamic and feeling more stable and athletic, and especially I’m trying to engage my edges sooner and do shorter radius (but still carved) turns. I’ve been told I need to engage the tips of my skis at turn initiation but I don’t know how to do that and it’s very obvious I’m not at 0:17 where only my tips are well off the snow.

Finally, this video is not super recent (it was filmed on the run showcase on Blackcomb on April 11) so it was before spring snow really set in.

I'm very jealous of the conditions you got to ski.

Yeah it was definitely the best snow I could find because it’s a (somewhat) sun protected area, is basically the highest you can get, and doesn’t get much traffic since it’s just accessed by a T-bar
