please don’t teach anymore or do any demos until you learn how to ski. Some simple faults with your demo include.
1- initiating the turn with your upper body.
2- Lifting the inside ski to bring it parallel.
You obviously haven’t learnt to use your inside leg properly. It should be rotated until parallel with your outside ski, not lifted into alignment.
There’s much more wrong with with this, but I hope you get the picture.
