Jammy beggar :lol: :P

I'm the same with shoes, I really am quite surprised at the number of people with boot problem :shock:

Ski Boots are a pretty unforgiving environment for tender tootsies. How many pairs of your shoes are made from rigid plastic for the soles and uppers?

Once boots are properly fitted and set up, this skiing lark is easier :D

Anyone out there with one or two of these?

Hmmm tricky..... :mrgreen: Have you considered amputation? :mrgreen:

I'm a snowboarder who has started skiing this season. I've done a fair bit of freeriding on the snowboard, and am looking to try and get the powder technique right on skis. I am confidently riding pretty much everything I find on piste in the resorts, and starting to get more confident in powder too. I would like to get to a point where I can confidently do some tours on the ski's that I would normally do on a snowboard or use the ski's for the tours that have a long hike out at the bottom.

If anyone has some specific tips for riding Powder and Crud I'd love to hear them. I've taken a lesson to try to get the technique right which helped a lot. I have had a few powder days on the skis, and am getting pretty addicted to the feeling.

Cheers for the help.
