Around about 1987 there was a tv prog called On the Piste. Was an hilarious look at skiers in Wengen and Soll. Laughing at the learning skiers fall off chair lifts - we have all done it. One of thos "knowing I have been there!" laughs!!
Anyway, anyone any idea where I can get hold of a copy? :roll: |

I have small narrow feet (am 34 year old bloke, 6ft tall, size 7 feet - like small twigs!)and found myself at Ellis Brigham buying a pair of Salomon X-Waves. Got custom insoles in them which helped wonders. Must admit they did cost me a few bob at about £300 and spent about 3 hours in the shop.
I imagine it is all down to how each pair fits you individually, when you buy from a shop you should easily spend a few hours there, hence get the right boot for you. When you hire you will be lucky to spend 15 minutes - it speaks for itself! I never knew ski boots could be so comfortable when I bought my own pair. They did help my skiing position more, however you still need to bend zee knees and keep zee weight forwards! I hate the feeling of going down a black and thinking "I can feel the back of my boots......I think I will be eating snow soon" and yes, it always happens. Anyway, back to topic. I imagine it is personal choice, spend hours getting it right in the shop and dont leave until you are 110% happy. Good luck :D |

Thanks for that Trencher, puts things clear now. I have seen you people of trays sitting onthe floor using the ratchet bindings - 2 strap.
Do boards come off like skis do when you fall over - I have never seen them so asume they dont....why not? 4 weeks until i go....excited :-o :lol: |
