I got new footbeds this week. My right leg/knee now is a little different after the injury a couple season back.  I went to my Steamboat fitter and he quickly ID'd the problem,  New beds are so nice, almost all knee pain is gone and it keeps my leg/knee from dving in. Made the edge-2-edge that much qucker now. Had to get used to it. Essentially, he built the bed with extended support on the inside of the bed (big toe side) down to just behind the ball of foot to add support and increase the effeciency when you edge-in the foot/knee/leg.

Bump skiing up here has been fantastic though, so much fun to criuse through bump fields of nice soft mounds. Stuff we ddn't go into 2 season ago are now just playgrounds.

Aslo, I took Phils advice and shortened my poles by an inch, made a real difference. Poles that are too long get i n the way on bumps and helps to keep forward (stacked). Makes things flow a little smoother.
