A buddy of mine had a lot of back pain and was considering quoting skiing. He went to a doctor that knew something about skiing. Doc asked which foot forward my friend was. He was left. For whatever reason the doc suggested switching front feet. It took him a year to get to the same skiing ability (open water) but you'd never know he switched feet and he skis pain free.

 

Never believe anything CP posts on Instagram.

I've often wondered why we as a slalom community don't focus more on "switch" riding. The wakeboard and wakeskate world are all about it. I've often felt like some of the leg and back pains I get from skiing could be alleviated if I skied for a while with the other foot forward. I know it works for wakeboarding. If I ever start to cramp up in one place or anything like that, I just flip a 180, ride switch for a while, and all the muscles that were pulling are now pushing and vice versa, and it seems to be better exercise for my body to ride a little bit both ways.

 

That's it, I'm going for it!!!!! Well, next spring anyway.

@Ralph Lee I would never encourage a non-drinker to start. Find me some evidence and I will eat crow. Until then I remain a strong doubter of your story.
