Hey Glenn...I mentioned the loosened top 2 buckles really as an experiment so the skier could sense how the boards engage with their center mass further forward.

As a rule, I buckle my top 2 buckles snug, so I can feel equal firm pressure entirely around the lower leg. Then I tighten the strap as tight as it will go and turn down my ski sock over the top of the boot for the best contact I can keep with that part of the boot.

Any delays or inefficient movement in the upper cuff becomes delayed response to the ski.

Finding that sweet spot where your center mass moves ever so slightly to obtain maximum engagement of the ski is such a ...

"man,...that's freakn' wicked good" feeling!
