Mike....I wonder how much tipping you'll be doing this weekend....OFF the mountain?

Here's hoping Mike you're almost there....AND if I see you listing to one side...I'll be happy to shove you over to the other.

G,
If you are suggesting that Svend's IPA this weekend may affect my ability to use the BTE or the LTE of my street shoes, thanks for offering to get me back to the hotel room.

A brief update about today. Because of a forecast for very warm weather, I decided to take out my Sultan 94's for their first day on snow. I did do the cants taped to the bindings per the analysis of my bootfitter. Big mistake to make two changes in one day! The uber-logical engineer should have known better. But, it was a sunny day of fun spring conditions in January. I do have some knee pain tonight following day on the wider boards plus a canting shift, so, it's back to the Shapes tomorrow.

That said, as the day progressed, my preceptors told me that my edge changes were smoother and I could find both edges fairly well. I also think that my skis remained more parallel to each other. It's compounded additionally by continued work on flexing and extending. My minis overextended. In a pm, Max advised me to get some tape of simple flat running on both BTE and LTE, and, that makes a lot of sense in just going back to the on-snow basics. I plan to spend some time reviewing the PMTS material about canting and alignment, then, work on performing the exercises tomorrow. Admittedly, I don't have a clear idea of what properly aligned feels like.

So it's been a good discussion, and, one that we have not entered into before. I am thankful that I don't have big anatomy issues to deal with and I'm fairly close at the onset.

Would someone be willing to share how Harb determines the in-shop basic allignment? I know the acid test is on slope, but, my understanding is they get pretty close.
