  2. Dirty Heel Pusher - what does it mean? - SkiTalk

    www.skitalk.com/threads/dirty-heel-pusher-what-does-it-mean.7536

    Heel pushing also causes lost traction on ice and will turn a run on breakable crust or sastrugi from "challenging" to "impossible." Or so I hear ;-) I reserve the right to misrepresent my level of knowledge, skill, and experience, either underrating or overrating myself, but it probably won't be on purpose.

    Does that also mean that if it is your best 8 out of 20 scores that it really takes 20 input rounds to get a more realistic expectation of your handicap and scoring potential? Currently you just need 6 - 9 hole rounds or 3- 18 hole rounds to get a handicap..

  4. Please help me understand mounting point on skis, I’m cornfuzzled

    Mount point comes into play relating to ski length since it changes where your feet will be positioned along the length of a ski. For example, if you mount a 184 cm ski exactly in the center of the ski, you’d theoretically have 92 cm of ski in front of that mount point, and 92 cm behind it.

  5. What does "hooking/catching an edge" mean to you?

    www.skitalk.com/threads/what-does-hooking-catching-an-edge-mean-to-you.19996

    Jun 3, 2020. #4. Hooking is usually what happens in a race course when you 'hook a gate'. 'Catching an edge' is when you are sliding your skis in a direction with some lateral component of movement (not 'perfect' carving) and the edge that is 'leading' catches the snow and stops the lateral movement. An example: you are making a right footed ...

    Oct 28, 2019. #5. All race plates provide the benefit of significant lifting of the boot off the snow. At high edge angles this helps avoid booting out. Whether this matters in any individual case depends on the angles the skier can attain. FIS even puts a limit on this since it’s so beneficial.

    Skier. Mondo shoe sizing is the most sensible shoe sizing system there is - it's essentially metric. (You can put a piece of A4 paper on the floor up against the wall, butt your heel up against the wall, mark where your big toe ends on the paper and take a ruler and measure your Mondo size that easily). That's it.

    Slopes is obviously a real app and a real site, nevertheless, it does seem a bit "off" when someone appears to be trying to possibly lure others away from the forum when they have no record of prior participation. Personally, I started using Slopes this year and it is great. I think it is worth the annual subscription price.

    www.skitalk.com/threads/long-term-review-thermic-c-pack-1700-b-boot-heaters.13202

    These Bluetooth-controlled heaters might not be the least expensive option on the market, but technology-wise, they might be one of the best values. . Thermic offers three versions: the C-Pack 1300 B, C-Pack 1700 B, and C-Pack 1300 (no Bluetooth). The higher number means the lithium ion battery will work longer at the lowest setting.

    Separation is like kayaking with a good stroke. In that case your torso is doing most of the work, you are turning from the hip essentially the same amount as turning the skis away. A good kayak stroke involves as much core as arm movement with the core doing the work. Angulation is also a good kayak analog.
