One photo can't determine how is better or faster. Since we are human, mistakes can't be avoid.
Just like our 掌門人, his form is not bad, his speed is quite fast but he is still far from perfect. Many things he still need to improve a lot but honestly, not many weekend skier can catch up with him. He skis around 30 days a year.
the skiers are rocca and ligety. I look up for the same year, rocca won WC championship while ligety won a olympic medal. it was said that liegety inclination come from his water skiing background
i think inclination could be fast but has more risk and will be less consistent overall. when a skier incline, he is locked in a position and wait for things to happen. if you watch WC, you will notice inclined skiers are more likely DNF in very slippery course. you can hear comment about "lean" or "inclination" from the commentator when skier DNF. one reason is when carving we actually relied on the side load of skis' edge. the so called "angulation" will produce higher edge angle and stronger side load. you can try it at home to see how you feel. if you get a bamboo stick to stand vertically and bend it to like a bow shape, you will find the bamboo dig in strongly by tension. if you just have the bamboo lean, it is very weak.
I am not in position to say who has better technique. i do think the different technique was used because it gave the skier the best result at that time, not because the technique was best. these pictures are also a few years old. the technique that is fasted for each may not be the same now

It's not fair to say who is better than how by judging one photo. When skiing, not many people can do everything perfect. Many be one is doing some recovery.
personally, I am not a fans of Alpine racing. I like skiing bumps and short turns ( more like demonstration style ) I know the best skiier are the Alpine Racers.

Guess I've seen too many people ski like Norman's photo, no longer a big deal to me. "Turn-skiing" has never impressed me.

That's quite true, but don't think that Norman has ever gotten/understood the messages, and I don't think occasionally making mistakes means bad skiing neither. I always tell my beginner students, don't be afraid of making mistakes, if you don't fall, you won't learn good skiing；nevertheless, you must learn how to correct your mistakes. And apparently, Norman has never learned that neither.

Good for him. I don't think there's such thing as "perfect form of skiing," (too many variables out there,) nevertheless, "perfect skiing" ("perfect skiing," as "being there, right time at right place," and "feel" perfect, and one must also know what "perfect" is,) does happen from time to time when all the conditions happen to be just right. But I rarely pursue it, but to do my forms the best I can to match the G-forces, and to flow with gravity as smooth as I can, and "waiting for the moment to arrive," and enjoy it when it does come.
