Show i YpsidIIs Sunny Redd By Director Blue Mt. Ski School The boot is the one item most important to the skier's comfort and enjoyment. And the right ski boot includes more than just correct boot dimensions. Size yourself up for personality and physical type. The strong athletic and agressive person, enthusiastic about skiing will require a higher quality of boot since he will make more demands on it. The not so athletic, retiring person or mother of small children will be happier with a less expensive and less rigid boot. A great deal of time will be spent in the lodge or chasing children and the more comfortable boot will be appreciated. Skiing ability during the life of the boot should be taken into account also. Boot sizes vary among manufacturers. Some tend to run short, some wide and some narrow. It is difficult to determine which boot will fit your foot without trying it on. For this reason I think it is almost impossible to get a proper fit by mail. And without handling and trying the boot on you cannot tell how much lateral stiffness or forward hinging there is in a particular boot. The boot should be tried on with one very heavy sock. Check for length by standing in the unlaced boot. The toes should touch the end. Then drive the forefinger down the back of the boot. If there is room for a finger's thickness, it is the correct length. For a child if you want to allow for growth, allow two full finger widths behind the heel. This will probably add another year of wear, but will make the boot too loose and some control will be lost. Next seat the heel firmly in the heel pocket. Instead of 'banging the boot against the floor, wiggle the foot back into the pocket. This cannot be emphasized too much since more boots are misfit because the heel is not back in the pocket than for any other reason. Keep wiggling the foot back as the boot is laced or buckled to the ankle. Then at the ankle, which is the crucial point, adjust for maximum tightness still wiggling the foot back. Opening Soon under new management Now stand and flex the knees forward. The heel should finally be firmly in the pocket. Readjust the lower portion of laces, which should be loose now, to moderate tightness. The middle area across the ankle should be the tightest with the topmost part fairly loose. Now walk around and flex forward - hard. Determine whether the heel is lilting in the pocket. If it is, how much; almost no lift at all should be felt. If the heel is lifting the pocket is too large and good skiing control will not be achieved with that pair of boots. At this point check (1) amount of forward flex. You should be able to bring your knees forward of a vericak line up from the toes, unless you know you can handle a stiffer-flexin- g boot.
