Questions and answers


  1. BulletI am OK when the snow is flat and groomed - but really struggle when it gets steep, particularly when the snow is heavy and soft. If I try and rotate the skis - they won't twist - or they start and then I trip up(*new Dec-10*)


  1. BulletAre your bindings lifted? Do you recommend to lift bindings on teaching skis? Are your bindings lifted for off piste as well?


  1. BulletHow long would you suggest doing the exercises for each day...? any time allotment before one then can go skiing and have more (integrated) fun?


  1. BulletWould you agree/disagree that a skier with limited ankle flexion is best suited to a boot with minimal forward lean  - more upright...or unless you're a racer...maybe everyone would benefit from a more upright boot?


  1. BulletAs far as boot forward flex/stiffness, aside from the obvious norm of beginners=softer, advanced=stiffer, at the very advanced to expert level....when might you choose a softer flex over a stiffer flex...or would you?  I know in my own skiing i tend to like a softer flex for all condition-type skiing (especially bumps), or have i just gotten lazy and should i have no problem skiing a stiff boot in the bumps, etc. with practice. (*new Dec-09*)
