Ski boot angle adjustment

[chriscpm]

A couple of years ago I read in a magazine that some skiers put their back boot on a slight angle. I did that for a while and it seemed to be the right thing to do. This year I noticed my boot it pretty much straight again. Now I forget which way to angle the back boot. Both seem reasonable. My guess is the back boot for a right foot skier should point to the left. I wonder if anyone knows for sure. Chris

A right foot skier's back foot should angle so your heel is towards the right side of the ski as you are looking down at it.

I try to keep the rear heel in the center of the ski and move the toes to the edge. Moving the heel to the side will give you much more leverage against the ski on the "On side" cut - but take away from how much leverage you put on the ski on your "off side" - opposite of what most would want to happen.

Hhhhmmmm. . .hadn't thought about that. I have the entire boot canted.

Thanks everyone. I'll make the adjustment and see how it goes.

I have the entire boot canted, have done this for years, well before they made boots that could articulate. i always drilled the rear boot to the plate on an angle...
