For CSIA, this movement is not call up and down, Up down is more of a vertical movement and this movement is more of a lateral movement. WE call the change of length of the legs flexion and extension. The PMTS call extension as a up movement and strongly avoid this movement.

I think when one need to ski faster with some more performance, up down movement need to be much less, at less that is what I am trying to do. If you see the Level 4 standard video, there is not much up down movement on the expect short radius.
I don't think the PMTS is the most modern techniques, every system are try to improve all the time. just the change may not be good for anybody. Personally, I don't like the way the Japanese and Korean promoting although their demo team members are all very very strong and good skier.

Yes, follow the shape of the sidecuts, up-unweighting can be eliminated.

PMTS is the newest teaching system in America, so yes, it is modern; though its "new" "weighed [leg] release" turning technique is no more than the good "old" "down-unweighting"; nevertheless, the teaching concepts are quite new. And in skiing, I don't think there is the "most" modern technique anymore. It has all been done before. Individual skills and capabilities maybe improved, due to the newer/improved equipments, but the parallel skiing itself has changed little since the introduction of the locked-heel bindings, which promoted then "new" technique "parallel skiing," and "skidded parallel turns" have dominated skiing scenes ever since. The break-through change came when introducing the "shaped skis" which promoted a "new" technique "pure curving"; nevertheless, some skiers have already carving before that, so it was only “換湯不換藥”. Next break-through came about is yours truly's Taichi Skiing's Flatboarding, which is to move the weight/center of gravity to control the skis, or "ride the skis," skiing started to change "shapes"/樣子,
The "shaped skis revolution" brought about the "pure carve" techniques, and what the newer "Rocker skis" would bring? Flatboarding.
Between Flatboarding and "pure Carving," which are situated in the opposite end of skills spectrum, lie the "skidded parallel turns," so there's no technique beyond them, only the "Tao of skiing"/滑雪之道。
Have fun, :)

Althought most members in all ski forums aware of Taichi Skiing/Flatboarding's story. I want to remind some visitors in case they got confuse. Taichi Skiing/Flatboarding is a low performance pivoting skiing skill. Most ski school are teaching this technique for beginner and intermediate skiers. Taichi Skiing/Flatboarding is inappropriate to consider same level as PMTS or CSIA. Taichi Skiing/Flatboarding: free skiing, Kirkwood - YouTube

That's only your shamless little knowledge's psycho talk; you cannot teach what you cannot do!
