Current state: Adequate green/blue parallel skier. Can generally self-correct moments of backseat and maintain control. Currently not interested in leaving blues/greens due to parental responsibilities, but anticipate needing to adjust next season. Have boots that are OLD. But plastic still seems fairly plastic and the boots fit like a dream after adjustments for foot changes this season.
Desired state: new boots BEFORE the existing boots do one of those stories y’all tell on here...ski going down the mountain with the boot, while I’m somewhere else.
Challenge: As I work on my skills, I’m REALLY happy with the way my boots and skis (Atomic Cloud 9s) are working with me. I don’t want to mess with my progress by messing with a combo that’s working. I also want my new boots to work with me through advancement of my skills, if that makes sense.
Questions:
1) Has anyone ever transitioned between boots gradually? I.e., if I were to get new boots, is there any conceivable way in which I could do short sessions with the new ones until I get them adjusted perfectly, but longer practice/skill refinement sessions with the current ones? (My skis have demo bindings, if this makes a diff)
2) If no to #1, what do you recommend?
