Hey Tim....glad to see you've got the "girdle" fit for your tootsies!

Billy's right though, "10 times measure, 1 time cut". Get out and ski them bad boys when your feet are acclimated to the cold and have made 3 plus runs. Believe me, once under load, if there are hot spots, you'll find them.

Just one thought on the canting.....when on the mountain, find a nice flatish green trail. With your right ski flat on the ground and weighted, lift your left heel and back of the left ski off the ground ( or lift the left ski entirely off the ground if you can balance ok) now focus on a large object straight ahead. With your right leg slight flexed start sliding.....you should be able to track straight towards that object WITHOUT using any body English to stay straight on course. Now repeat this with the left leg flat on the snow.

This is an excellent indicator if any further canting is necessary.... A great fine tune adjustment.

Best,
Gary
