Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

whilst wandering around the christmas market, and partaking in glühwein consumption (that smell is addicitve), i was wondering... do the glühwein salesmen get drunk from the alcohol fumes slowly boiling off all day long?

Thanks, anything long and cold.

A contact at MK told me he'd left and set up in Bicester. Seems it was about time for him, one way or another. While I was in there, he was doing a couple of Scottish ski team guys!

slikedges, I had heard a long time ago about him leaving, but without a name and contact details, put it down to hearsay. How do his charges compare to Profeet? SMALLZOOKEEPER, your round I think wink

SMALLZOOKEEPER, he said he usually skied 4 weeks a year then smiled a lot whilst holding my feet... Shocked

snowbunny, his operation is different. I've not been to Profeet but I think they like to aim for the whole package of boots liner footbeds. Colin is mainly doing footbeds and cuff (& I assume where necessary clog) adjustments for alignment/fit. He isn't selling ski boots though he does do running shoes. I bought the Superfeet full cork (Kork) as there's hardly any price difference from the half cork. Same price as Lockwoods advertise - £100 which I do think is a bit steep but will be worth it if it allows my skiing to improve (I don't have any foot pain problems though I'm sure SZK would say I'm in boots 2 sizes too big!! wink ). Profeet also do a £100 thing where I think they do a full analysis but otherwise also just do footbeds and adjust the boot but don't do liners. Didn't ask Colin about liners as I only want the footbeds for now, to see how/if they affect my skiing. snowHead

Evenin' all, sarsperilla fer me, still trying to wade through late correspondence, so apologies to anyone who's waiting for a reply from me, I'm being terribly rude to an awful lot of people. So what are you sodden barflies up to?

Oh crap, we're back to talking about feet rolling eyes Will you lot get a life! . . . or a chiropodist. Keep 'em clean, dry and massaged and you won't have half the problems you keep crying about. Why do so many people ski with all the effort centered in their feet? It's like watching boarders in screaming agony of cramp 'cos they've only been using the lower legs to do everything.

What's wrong with just keeping them a relaxed stable platform to put whole body forces through and they just adding finesse to the control?

Maybe I'm just lucky in having good feet?

Masque, Alan Craggs, sorry, but until I ski in these new footbeds (and for some time after) that's all you'll get from me. Toofy Grin wink

snowbunny, I'd forgotten but you went to Profeet recently, didn't you, so did they make a difference? Colin doesn't have a foot pressure sensor or Skier's Edge so it's less techie, but still, we'll see. snowHead
