why dip the inside shoulder into the turn? i always keep my shoulders facing toward, and angled down to the base of the outside foot, starting in the upper part of the C after starting the transition to the new outside edge. example. at 0:58 my right shoulder would be leading and my left shoulder would be following so that my torso would be facing to the outside of the arc.
The most important thing here is to keep your shoulders facing the same direction that the hips have! Never counter-rotate your shoulders in your waist at an advanced level! So take a look and see that the counter-rotation is made by the hips and not by the shoulders. At 0:58 he is just after the apex, he needs a counter-rotation in order to face the fall-line a little more of his whole torso. These turns are wide turns, so he needs a very little counter-rotation here.
This is a very good video! Congratulations. But let me point out the two most important elements that are missing here. 1. The importance of the body projection. You must get your CM from the hillside of your skis to the valley-side during your edge change. This should happen passively, until the skis get flattened and then the edgings will follow, steer and help this CM movements. 2. At the start of your edgings you should pull back your new inside ski if your speed is not high enough. Otherwise you will experience that the new inside ski is too far ahead of the COM and this will disturb the edging of this ski. This is because the high knee flex puts your CM close to the ski-tales, so when you star the new turns the new inside ski will not be able to edged by your ankle.

Actually in your javelin turn video you show exactly the way I ski and have corrected what I observed above.
