It seems to me that most of the boot fitters you've interviewed in this whole series use the "move the ski" philosophy more than the "move the knee" technique. Some day I'd really like to see a down-and-dirty debate between these two seemly diametrically opposed philosophies. Do you believe in one vs. the other? I really like your "hand out the window " analogy when you were talking about canting and powder. I'd never thought about it that way and it makes a lot of sense.

I would disagree. I think most of the boot fitters focus on positioning the knee over the center of the knee (center of knee mass or center of patella tendon). I'm looking for the right boot fitters to have just such a down-and-dirty... but I prefer to call it an exploration rather than a debate. I believe there are reasons to use both approaches ("move the knee" vs "fill the gap" (aka "move the ski"), depending on the particular skier. There are a number of variables that have not yet been touched on in this series. I've tried some Zoom sessions but decided they were not watchable. So I'm working on logistics to continue this series. Stay tuned!

So this looks like a great way to correct stance issues. I am in the market for new boots and have the following question. Can the use of cants correct one foot toeing in?

@CantologyLLC 2 года назад

If, by 'toeing in', you mean one ski tends to want to cross, then probably. But first you need to ensure that your boots fit well. Since you're shopping for new boots, make sure to go see a good boot fitter. I recommend you watch my interviews with Brent Amsbury and Ernie (Jeff Ernst) to better understand how all the elements of good boot fit must be considered before you resort to installing cants.

@@CantologyLLC is there anyone you would recommend in the Dover- Ludlow area of Vt or North Conway of NH?
