Wow, this forum gets a lot of replies. I wasn't trolling just sharing my experience.

Another thing common boot fitting wisdom gets wrong IMO is: your toes should brush up against the front of the...

When the boot flexes your whole body moves forward, keeping you in a balanced position. You want a boot that's under partial flex during the hard carving part of the turn. You don't want the boot to...

110% Correct sir.

I have to remember when I'm skiing with boarders that they are limited. Especialy on a powder day when you want to rip up the best lines as fast as possible. Even a short...
