There isn't a one size fits all solution. Changing ramp in either direction should be based on individual needs.

Svend:  I think I'm understanding, and what you said is correct "in some situations" but not as an absolute. Decreasing the ramp angle (with toe shim outside the boot) WILL move the knees back. What happens with the hips depends on how the skier feels about their balance. They may stand the same (so their hips and their COG effectively moved back) or they may feel out of balance on their heels and open the knee more (standing up straighter and moving the hips forward) to feel back in balance -- and wind up with the same balance but a more upright stance.
