That's very good, where abouts in the states are you?
He's had some good coaching to this point, he's getting some high edge angles so early in the turn, I'm presuming he's in a race club?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks all for the kind comments 
We live in Sun Valley, Idaho. He's been skiing for a long, long time already and he skis a lot; more than 100 days/year. He is on the local ski team, but I also ski with as much as I can. I've been teaching skiing for 25 years and specialize in coaching the local master's team and teaching for the local adaptive program. I raced through my youth making the US Team in mainly speed events, right before I destroyed my knee...
A long way of saying I know quite a bit about skiing, both through experience as well as through the process of teaching and coaching; but as I said in the previous post, "his skiing is fast approaching the limit of my technical knowledge..." So with that said, what is he doing well? What could be doing better?
Again, thanks!
Enjoy!

jimgrossman, Very hard to tell from behind but dare I mutter summat about 'inner tip lead' in the left turn? (worms, can etc.)
From a purely numpty on sticks pov he appears to be getting much more rebound power at the release from his right hand carve than his left. Look at the separation, drawback and push in his left leg as he sets up the transition to begin the right turn carve. You'd have to have more viewpoints to watch the fore-aft-fore mass movement over the ski center through the carve to determine if he's really staying a little too long on his tails in the left carve and not achieving quite the same acute angulation as his right carve. Could just be camera angles, could just be me talking out ma butt. But I know from coaching trampolining that we all have a favoured side that is very difficult to eradicate, ask him which turn he like more, the right carve looks a more natural flowing movement, I'm ignoring ski control just looking at the body dynamic.

Looks pretty good, but I agree... difficult to tell from the viewing angle what's really going on, from this angle looks like a good job, as Masque, says about tip lead, there are a few times he gets very open going into the new turn and almost gets squashed from a (microscopic point of view) by the force, overall though very nice, would be better with different viewing angles as mentioned.
