What Ross said :D

'Shoulders down the mountain' like 'bend ze knees' and 'lean forward' are all phrases which in a given situation may be correct [ or not ] but they don't help you to understand the physics involved [i.e the why ] and like all cliches are too generic to be of much help in any particular problem.

I thought that I looked quite fetching :oops: )

I think the make might be 'Style France'

Not sure if that would get enough exposure to make it cost effective )

Told you the tree skiing was good :D - you lucky *&%%$%**

You need some proper skis though )

And there was me thinking it was the cold but its just my small post count :D

Have I finally lost the plot or am I just missing something? :D

Cheers Ross :D

I've been skiing on the Contact 10 for 2 seasons now (Volkls for years before that) and it's the best piste ski I've ever skied on - and I've tried a lot of skis on test over the years.

I still think Mark should try a pair before he buys though.

Hi Mark,
Welcome to the forum. I can relate :D It took me longer to get my feet apart than it did to get them together in the first place.

That said, I would persist in trying to ski with your feet further apart. It will seem akward for a while but the benifits will make it worthwhile. Go for a piste oriented ski - they don't have to be super wide, Dynastar Contact series maybe? The Contact 10 is based on Dynastars GS skis. Once you get used to keeping your feet a bit further apart everything else you do will still work on newer skis. Try renting for a day or 2, then you can try without forking out too much money.
