Quest for Perfect Stance - Ep2 - Brent Amsbury 

Absolutely great series for ski shop employees. I been fitting boots for many years and love to keep learning. One of the simplest issues that was mentioned was boots that were a size to large. If we got a dollar for every time that happens we could buy a lot of beer. Great interview and will stop in his shop next time I am in Park City.

Great interview. I been fitting boots for many years and love to keep learning. Loved it when Brent talked about boots being a size to large. So many customers come in with old boots and that is one of the first issues we find.

I loved this videos. I’m heading to Killington VT next week for a few days. I plan on starting at the Basin ski shop. They are listed on the cantology website. I don’t think I have a neutral stance. And it may be causing me edging issues. I also skied 205s and 210s many years ago. And I didn’t have a problem, or so I thought. Skis are shaped so differently today. I’m skiing on a 180s with less control. I hope it’s my alignment. I don’t think it’s because I’m 67. Thanks for your videos, what an education.

As a skier who has been using cants (thick side in) since 1971 I enjoyed both part one and part two. Prior to using cants I could not ski parallel and even then it was difficult to get an edge. The very first time I skied, with the cant plates added, skiing parallel came easily. I require 5 degrees on one leg and 5.5 degrees on the other leg to get the center of my knees about 1/4 of an inch inside the mold line. Because of the amount of canting I need I have not been able to use Cantology as I understand 3 degrees is the most you can do on the boot. Is there any benefit to doing some cant correction on the boot and some under the binding? Also as a ski instructor I often have opportunities to recommend that students have their alignment checked at a ski shop. Could you recommend several shops in the Lake Tahoe and Sacramento areas that you feel do a good job assessing and correcting alignment issues. I know Start Haus in Truckee is one. One of the take always from your video was the idea that beginners, who ski more upright, might need to be aligned over the mold line while more experienced skiers, who get their skis further out from under their midline would do better aligned more inside the mold line. (Similar reasoning to why beginner skiers need longer ski poles than more experienced skiers.)
