Not at all (cool name by the way!)Would you mind answering some questions? Your answers will hopefully reveal what makes you gain speed, which will lead to advice on how to stay slow enough to feel good about your control.
1. What do you do to slow yourself down?
2. What do you do to stop?
3. This one is about boot sizing. Set your regular shoes down next to the rental boots you are in. Are your rental ski boots longer than your regular shoes? Assuming yes, how much longer?
4. How many pairs of socks do you wear when skiing?
5. Do you tuck the bottoms of your pant liners into your boot cuffs?
1. Make a \ /
2. Make a deeper \ / and go more against the slope/gravity (I’m sure I’m slaughtering terms, bear with me!)
3. Yes, boot is longer by 1.5”
4. One pair of calf high socks
5. I put the liner over the boot (is that wrong? I realize this is just an assumption)
in 2 weeks I am going for a professional fitting for my own boots so maybe this will make a difference too. My feet are somewhat narrow and the rental boots say “relaxed fit”
