Stop those slow sliding turns by getting on your OUTSIDE (downhill) ski and get you carving clean fast arcs.

    I always keep my buckles slightly loose during a first groomer run so that my feet can swell as they warm up and blood moves into them. I then retighten my buckles before my second run.

    i have some weird problem with my ski boot and i need advice if i should change whole boots or its supposed to be that way, i ski for more than 10 years and last 4 years i bought pair of atomic boot that is most comfortable i have ever worn and im in love with them but, i feel like they are too big for my foot, not in lenght, but width, my heel is going up even when i buckle them to apsolute tightest point, i never realised that problem until i watched this video. if someone has advice, please tell me

      Oh Wow. So your foot shouldn't be moving around in the boot. It should be snug (but not so tight it cuts off circulation) so that when you roll your ankle the boot moves too, and rolls the ski onto edge. Where are you located? and who fit your new boots? I would take them to a proper boot fitter and have them assess the fit. Did you try twisting the buckle clasp to the tightest it will go? I hope you can get them properly fit so you get the best performance out of your ski boots/skis

    I tighten my straps in the first hour after starting. The vibration of the moving makes the boot set. Every time I'll set them hard till they are perfect.

    When I used to teach, I would use the knife spreading butter thought with my students.For pure beginners I would give them the reverse instruction and let them spread the butter without pushing it edging to hard,don't want tear the bread.A little slide helps beginners get both skis,and knees going the same direction.Parallel skiing on the first day out!

    I've also found that it's important that after one or two times down the hill, some of the buckles May loosen . I have found that checking and tightening my Buckles at the top of a hill, when needed, throughout the day, has been essential for better stability!

    I like to ski an easy green warm up with the boots a little loose, maybe one notch on each buckle from where I know I end up. After that run, I then tighten them the rest of the way like in your video.

  • @tomzeto
    @tomzeto 11 місяців тому

    I don’t know if anybody else does this, but I like to latch to a medium to low tightness because everything is cold rigid and uncomfortable. I walk with it from parking lot to the base and everything gets warm and comfortable then I’m able to tighten down even more than if I did it initially when it was cold.

    Excellent video, one more tip as a boot fitter . Do not tighten your boots when warm or indoor room temperature. You will stretch the plastic and over set on the stretched part when cold .. Make sure the boots are cold then you tighten them to a firm hold around the foot and anckle !

    I always find if i take my time warming into my boots each ski day, then it feels great by the time youre warmed up making runs. Start off with the top two on the loosest setting. Tighten them a notch or two when you get on the first gondola/chair. Then tighten them enough to ski safely for your warmup run. By the time you are ready to slay diamonds and carve, your boots will be comfy enough to tighten them to the preferred strength

    The fit of the liner is also a big issue. I have lace ups so my boot up is a deeper process with putting on the liners then the shell. Many more ways to go wrong. The most important buckle is not a buckle but the power strap. I close all buckles to my performance level, rung 1 on the ladder, cinch the power strap giving it a good extra tug then release the buckles to walk out to the snow. I often ski with boots unbuckled especially when demonstrating basic maneuvers to increase the observable range of motion in the ankle. Getting a close fit require modifications to the shell and liner. Boot fitters are often reluctant to make the extreme adjustments I need so I've learned to adjust my own fit. I basically ruin the shell and liner before I ever ski it.

    This video offers some good information to to the newbie skier, and in some cases those who have skied for many years. But I take exception to this notion of kicking your heel to the back of the boot, that does not work. “Kicking the heel“ to the back of the boot, only serves to bounce the heel out of the heel pocket. I found the most effective way to ensure that my heel is nestled back in the boot, as far as it can go is simple. Start by recognizing, sliding your feet into ski boots, will be very foreign to your feet. If you’re skiing every day, putting your feet in your ski boots is no big deal. Give your feet a moment to become a custom to the ski boot, let your feet spread out and acclimatize. I suggest closing the lower cuff buckle, but not super tight one foot at a time, flex the foot forward at the ankle using the lower cuff buckle to leverage you foot back into the ankle pocket. Thanks for the video.

    I was told the top of foot, especially the toe, buckles are really juat there to secure it to keep snow out and not to be securing your foot into the boot. The security is from the top buckles.

      @kevinmurphy8644 I'm trying to figure out how to answer your question. I will be making a video to show how to carve soon. Its a rolling of the ankle and adding the pressure to that new outside ski and down into the ski and snow to make it bend. I will try and tag you when I make the next one.

    I HAVE BEEN SKIING FOR 48 YEARS NOW , DOES ANYONE KNOW THE NUMBER 1 REASON YOUR FEET GET COLD WHEN SKIING ??? IT IS BECAUSE YOUR FEET ‘’SWEAT’’ SWEAT IS MOISTURE . WHEN YOUR FEET SWEAT THE SOCKS YOU ARE WEARING BECOME DAMP. DAMP SOCKS WILL ATTRACT COLD AND THIS IN TERN CAUSES YOUR FEET TO BECOME COLD WHILE ON THE SLOPES. I LEARNED THIS OLD SKI TRICK FROM A BOOT FITTER IN ZERMATT SWITZERLAND BACK IN 1972 . YOU BUY AN AEROSOL CAN OF ANTI PERSPIRANT SAY RIGHT GUARD AXE OR DOVE AND SPRAY ‘’YOUR BARE FEET ‘’BEFORE ‘’YOU PUT ON YOUR SKI SOCKS, THEN PUT ON SOCKS AFTER THE ANTI PERSPIRANT IS ON BOTH FEET. THIS WILL STOP YOUR FEET FROM SWEATING FOR 7-8 HOURS. IF YOU SPRAY YOUR UNDER ARMS WITH ANTI PERSPIRANT TO STOP YOUR ARM PITS FROM SWEATING WHY NOT YOUR BARE FEET ???? I BET 98% OF ALL SKIERS NEVER KNEW ABOUT THIS OLD SKI TRICK. YOU ARE WELCOME .

    Hi! What is on the liner's tongue at 2:26?

    • @live2ski108
      @live2ski108 Рік тому

      That is a little "shim"...it's a padded foam that the boot fitter puts on the tongue of the boot for skiers that have skinny legs that need a spacer in there to close up the gaps. Even when the buckles are done up at their tightest, those who have skinny legs (kids usually) may have too much room and their leg will "slop" around and they will lose shin pressure on the tongue of the boot.(which is something you don't want to lose) so the boot fitter can alter the boot with this padded shim to help the fit of the boot for the skier and aid in their ski performance.

  • @davidbeazer9799
    @davidbeazer9799 Рік тому

    Great advice. I do do something a little different that feels very solid to me. I find that banging the heal in has some bounce and doesn’t leave me feeling like my heel is well seated to the rear. Instead I do up the arch buckle, the second buckle from the toe, first. I then rock my knee forward which solidly sets my heal back in its pocket. I then do up the most important buckles to keep the heal in place. Try it. You may like it too.

    Socks should not be too thick. As base layer I only use 3/4 pants, so I do not have to worry about either extra material in the shoe or an abundance of material rolled up just below my knees. Lastly, almost broke my feet once while trying to get into cold boots.
