I'm with you, this is so important for me. It's on my list of things to do before you go.
Yes, I'm afraid I'm a bit too organised but in a Monica sort of way I think :oops:

You mean, really, it's remember to trim your toenails before you go, but if you don't have time bring the clippers?

Well, it's certainly a new one on me, I don't think I've ever noticed having a problem because my toenails are too long (maybe I always keep them short enough?).

Best advise on ski boot fit I ever received was, "if you don't have to cut your toe nails once a week, your boots are too big". Bit of an exaggeration, but gives an idea of how much room you should aim for.

People who let their toenails grow long enough to have to worry about whether it will affect their skiing have a problem.

Yup, I'm afraid that to get a ski boot fitting well, you need to have really short toenails. I was chastised by cem last week for leaving my toenails too long, when I went for a boot fitting :oops:

You dirty tramp. Do you collect jam under them as well?

Yuck

Glad i`m not alone then ...and I did say 2mm but yes in an ideal world ones toenails would be neatly manicured before going..but I am a bloke, anyway its a random tip
