Thanks John....I know there is some mechanics of leverage etc...in there.

I think the only thing for me is that when skiing the crud, pow, bumps....I like to feel the entire ski making contact with the snow, being able to ski it flat in the float allows excellent transition.? Having control over the shovels on the skis in the past 5 years has not been a problem....for me, the idea of limited movement in a boot to? affect maximum fore and aft pressure and performance is an ideal stance.

AND you are correct...I was never able to stand tall in my boot without applying awkword pressure to the rear cuff.

I might disagree with you on the tails lifting? in the extreme steep...my recent experience demonstrated I had better speed management and turn shape keeping the skis connected and for sure find this is key for me in skiing bumps. Hard charging slalom and gs turns, not a problem.

Thanks for your thoughts and encouragement.

Yes Jim....skiing one boot would not be a matter of choice....go twins!

Ron....this is the OTHER thing that keeps my mind occupied....oh yeah!
I have a need to ski.....g
