Chamonix is an hour away. Plenty of cheap minibus transfer's on the web, lots of hotel choice, and more steep skiing than you could tackle in a lifetime.

Plans for Suisse as usual, and it's snowing there too 8) |

Just the men :D There are some fairly good walking forums around for anyone into UK hiking. |

Time to start looking at the terrain, not just the pistes ) |

Some boots have inbuilt canting under the footbed. A screw in the heel tilts the plate under the footbed. I know this because I've owned some Technica's that had this. This alters how your foot sits in the boot and where you pressure the ski. Tiny angle changes at the foot can cause knee pain if it's overdone. Most boots have cuff shaft alignment. This is a scew around about where the ankle joint is and the boot and leg cuff join. It gives a chance for the boot cuff to be aligned with the lower leg Tibia etc. Adjusting this will have some effect on how you pressure the ski, but it can't do a whole fix if you need a cant (wedge) under the sole or inside the boot under your footbed to help your ski run flat. Tiny 0.5 degree changes can have a big effect on how you ski. |

Tell me Wickers, I promise not to tell everyone :D
Don't leave it too long and miss out! |

Well I'm not seeing any talk of skiing in this thread, perhaps I missed it? Mostly I talk about skiing on this Forum, which is when I'm not skiing. I don't usually partake in the collective wibble. |
