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 :-)

I suppose, although I know I have faults that I want to correct. This photo taken on the same run is a bit more together I think, but my hips still look a bit back even if not so rotated into the turn.

rob@rar, I guess the outer hand should be a bit more forward and lower (but I'll stand to be corrected). I'm always anxious to iron out faults and am self-critical and never satisfied. The only thing I can do to convince myself that I've improved somewhat is to think about how I might have approached the same slope a few years earlier, and know that I'd have been more anxious at the beginning and more tired at the end. I guess that striving for improvement which I feel to be in range is one of the reasons that I'm hooked.

SZK, I didn't say trend moving away from footbeds, I said trend moving away from hard posted footbeds....... Cool The usual caveat being whatever suits the individual. Me - my footbeds are mainly heel stabilisers now, with the arch backed off to enable some degree of pronation.

Two days ago I brought in my cuff alignment, so it's a little free-er now. It was blocking before (although reasonably well aligned to my shins).

Are you going to give those lateral malleoli more room?


Yes. I'm still feeling pretty locked up in the ankles. Interestingly, chatting to a WC coach today, he mentioned that more and more racers are moving away from hard posted footbeds.
I like to have some movement in there, but I wouldn't move completely away from footbeds. Just some with more ability to allow the foot to move. That's what I've been using for the past three years, and they have worked very well, I think, balancing support and natural movements.
