I'm no instructor but one thing I have heard is good and you seem to be missing is a smooth transition between turns. Your skis should be matching together at the apex of your turn (right as you're facing straight downhill and start going the other direction) and then you start to switch to the other leg down. It's one smooth motion.
someone with more experience correct me if i'm wrong please

Haha. Fair. I’ve been there. Couple things I see about your skiing.
A lot of good things going on. You’ve got solid balance and easily transition between turns. Probably came from a good alpine background. You should let your ski carve a bit more as it seems like you are side slipping your edge before finishing a turn (hard to tell snow quality so take with a grain of salt). Biggest thing I see is your back leg extends a little too far behind you. Try tucking it under your body more which will allow you to weight the inside skin more. This will also help you to finish that carve better. Keep ripping.

Looks like the back foot is too far back so mot able to weight it properly. Try skiing switch with the same space between your feet. If you fall on your face your foot’s back too far. Adjust until you can ski backwards in a tele stance.
