"I guess the bottom line is, do what's necessary, mix and match if you need to. A, B, whatever. If it works, do it." Exactly how I look at it. Think I've added that comment on a few threads here over the years. More importantly, I'd like to say your skiing looks very good, Montana, and especially gi...

Tele and ice don't go together well.

"My leading foot is already down hill and when I try to bend my knee that leg basically just stays straight and the knee connected to my uphill foot bends." This catches my attention. I tried imitating a turn (in my living room) with a straight front leg, and a bent uphill leg, and couldn't do it. M...

Yup. I talked with the folks at Voile again yesterday and we agreed the issue is my boot sole length (305mm) is at the very lowest limit for fit with the standard's. I asked whether that would put me at the very upper end of the shorts, but he (John?) said the shorts go up to 320mm sole length, whic...
