Thanks for the analysis! Do you think single leg railroad track drill on flat terrain will be a good exercise for me to lean/bank less, use hip angulation to create edges, and slow down ski rotation at the beginning of the turn?

Thanks for the videos!

Edging drills of all kinds will help you with edging.

Executing them correctly is more important than which drill you pick.

Two footed railroad tracks, and crab walk variations are where I'd start working. Do them on *really* flat terrain to force precision (the slower you go, the less you'll be able to balance against speed, aka the more you have to angulate to create edge angle instead of incline).

Also consider symmetry between turns - your movement patterns change subtly but in real ways depending on your turn direction. without more information I can't tell if that's a physical (muscular balance or skeletal issues) or a mental fix (just do the same thing on both sides).
