Bootfitting to be a better skier

Post by joeatomictoad » Sat Aug 08, 2020 10:12 pm

In an effort to reduce my ignorance, and because I am generally interested, I had spent the 2019 offseason learning as much as I could about bootfitting. Online videos, boot manufacturer websites, chat forums, etc., etc.

From the information pieced together, I believe this makes me a better skier. As I am skiing, I may not be actively thinking about boot matters, but perhaps my subconscious mind is making use of it. Maybe I am just more "aware" of what my equipment is doing. If not a better skier, certainly a better informed skier.

Wish I went on this journey earlier in life, but better late than never. I highly recommend. If any one wants to step up their game, take some time to learn about bootfitting.
