How To Buy The Right Ski Boots

To make sure you get your hands on the ski boot that's right for you, you'll need to move swiftly this season, to avoid missing out.

Now, which ski boot (and skis for that matter!) are right for you?

I'm glad you asked, as there are a couple of ways to go about finding out this season.

Now, everyone wants to ski better.

Everyone wants to buy the right ski gear… to set up their gear for success… to make 'efficient' moves… to ski interesting and varied terrain… to achieve their next skiing breakthrough.

But few skiers know how.

Few skiers really understand how to make every ski improvement dollar work for them - to bring rapid improvement.

In fact, of all the clients we've worked with in the past year, only one turned up to who came close to achieving their full skiing potential.

Even this client, as admirable as his efforts and results were, only realized 80% of the skiing success he could be enjoying.

Most of our clients, which includes some very savvy and experienced skiers, are only realizing 60% or less of their full skiing potential.

See, while ski improvement can be explained in many ways, there are three main factors that influence the success of any improvement program.

These elements have been sifted down to this simple, but powerful formula:

The Right Gear + The Right Set Up + The Right Movements = Rapid Ski Improvement And Enjoyment!

Most skiers miss one, two or all of these elements, and as a result, have very ineffective ski improvement results.

Often skiers compound their problems by getting advice from different people in all three areas, with most 'advisors' unaware of the big picture.

Know Your Alignment - Choosing The 'Right' Ski Gear!

I'm going to cover this point first because choosing boots, footbeds, bindings and skis is the first critical component of any ski improvement program.

I don't care how fit you are, how great your technique is, how much you know about the structure of a parallel turn.

If you turn up to the ski slope in the wrong ski equipment all of you time, effort, and money is pretty much wasted.

Here's the cold hard truth.

Purchase the wrong ski equipment and your ski performance will suffer… badly.

So how do you know which ski equipment to buy? Before you spend another cent on ski equipment, you need to know… What Your Skiing Alignment Is.

Know Your Alignment - Which category do you fall into!

Skiing alignment for our purposes, is the relationship between your ski equipment, body and the resulting angle to the snow.

Now, that might sound a bit technical or complicated, but in actual use, it couldn't be simpler.

Alignment is merely the ability to ride a flat ski by choosing and adjusting ski equipment to suit you.

What may surprise you is that… around 80% of skiers DON'T enjoy skiing around with an easy aligned set up!

Know Your Alignment - Identifying Your Alignment Category

There are two ways to identify your alignment set up.

The first way is to have an Alignment Checkup.

What's an Alignment Check Up?

Here's a quick outline of how an Alignment Checkup works...

A trained instructor takes a series of measurements of your lower legs, mobility and skiing set up to identify your skiing alignment requirements. Next your footbeds, ski boots, skis and their set up is assessed to ensure they are meeting your alignment needs. Everything is analysed, from your range of motion to your equipment requirements and even discuss your skiing movement patterns.

From this session, you will be well informed so you'll know which ski boot and ski equipment to buy, which to avoid and how to set it up for immediate improvement. www.harbskisystems.com

The second way is to determine your alignment set up yourself.

The way to go about this is get a copy of a FREE Report that details the role alignment plays in ski equipment selection and set up. Email me and I'll send you a FREE Report copy.
