realskiers

So, let me add another piece of information. I was in Philpug's shop and he had some time so we tried on 3 new boots. He looked at my Speedmachine 14 boot boards and showed me that the heel is lower than the toe area, a typical setup by Nordica for this boot. At his shop, which does sell Nordica, they typically modify the boot by adding material under the rear of the board during the fitting process. He then modified the boot board to raise the heel and asked me to ski with it for a few days to see what changes it made. There is no doubt in my mind that the change makes it far easier for me get forward and I able to become much more centered. Shimming the front binding would rock me back a little bit, so, ?. For the first time, I can feel the sensation of "putting the pedal to the floor".

I did not intend to make a shim adjustment change when I wrote the OP, and, did so out of curiosity. I will get some video about my posture following the Phil's board modification. I know that photo's & video in the past showed backseat position.

Jim and I both appear to have elevated the heel, one from on internal adjustment, the other from an external. I envy his on-snow assessment. I'm still flying blind.
