Any history of injuries on the right side? Right knee problems can easily produce that abstem (speaking from experience).

I had ACL surgery on it but that was over ten years prior. But that's interesting I thought I was doing something lazy with the left leg but I think you're right, the right leg is the offender. Like I'm straight legging it too much.

He normally skis more like this (I especially like his turn at 1:53):


But Superstar is steep, and also it looks like he really enjoys playing with sideslips because he learned them so recently.
Nice.
Those poles could be 7+ cm shorter. It’s just weight to carry and leads to hands too high. Seems like he’s looking up and ahead there unlike Superstar.
After the pitch rolls over into a steeper section my left turns all end with a goofy A frame,
Usually I find when I do that I have not moved my body downhill into the new turn quit enough. So you end up slightly too far uphill and need to stem a little. Easier to feel on groomers, skiing into neutral.

That trail seems to have a slight fall off to the right. That could be why it’s mostly only in that direction. It could also be a left eye issue causing lean to the left.
