After the great tips I received last time on my technique I have put a link to the latest vid from this year. Any tips would be greatfully received.

I was going to have a lesson this year but the weather was so rubbish in La Rosiere for the whole week we were there I couldn't be bothered. Thought it would be better to just have some fun in La Thuile instead.

For a long time. Started when I was eight. Had a 5 year break from it when my first Son was born and have only been going again for the last three years. I was ok at the old school technique and have self taught myself carving so hoping to improve.

Looks fine to me, all I'd suggest is to vary the radius of your turns (if you don't already) to really get on top of carving.

I reckon that looks pretty solid-in control, good carve, no skid!
If you pause the video around 40seconds I reckon you could be more forward-you are a bit sat back on the skis. Try to focus on engaging your core muscles and lifting you hips forward.
That is being REALLY picky tbh and if it is on a steep slope(which it looks like it could be) then its a natural thing to sit back at the ned of the turn!
I got some advice the other day and he said to lift my chin up because i was looking down at the snow too much which i never realised!
Best thing is to keep videoing yourself-i hate it but it works!
