Have fun,

He was slipping when he should have been skidding.

Not really. He was knocked out of balance by the gate/flag and into
slipping; if he had tried to recover by skidding, he would have
tumbled. His recovery technique was actually flatboarding/line-skiing
technique; notice how he moves his butt/body downward to catch up with
the ski while making a "carving" (tail follows tip) right turn at
around 19 sec, and again in slow motion around 39~44 sec? That's a
standard butt/weight leads the turn line-skiing technique, great
balance, and great skiing.
