It is the time of year to check out ski shops and ski swaps for new equipment for your growing kids. But, before you buy, check out the following tips from Scott Foster at Lone Mountain Sports in Big Sky regarding boot fitting basics.
- As former U.S. Ski Team member Bill Hudson noted recently in Ski Racing magazine, "Boots are definitely the most critical piece of equipment."
- In the following video, Scott shows you how to do a basic shell fit.
- Scott also addresses the issue of boot flex. Again, per Ski Racing, "Young juniors need a soft, anatomical flex...In other words, a flex that works in conjunction with what the ankle is doing."
