I put a piece of duct tape on the ski at the front of my binding plate for stock. All moves from there are relative

Here is that first ride, but as an MP4 for andriod and windows folks 2025-07-10 - 03.mp4

Let me clarify my original premise. I'm talking about the difference between one inch increments in ski size up or down if and only if you are on the bubble to begin with. Bigger swings in ski size are going to have much greater and likely unfortunate effects. I believe he rides a 66, which at 36 mph makes sense for his weight. From my perspective, that's absolutely normal. (Actually the last time I skied with him, he was on the 6,6 and I think that's what he still rides, but I wouldn't be shocked if he'd move up to 67) Yes, between a a 64 and a 70 you would be correct but a one size smaller ski is slightly narrower and going to roll over further. Even though it's going to take more strength, you're going to have more angle therefore more cross course speed. You might not call it faster if your definition of faster is ease of speed creation.

@jhughes yeah, things certainly get more complex when the conversation includes how the ski feels approaching the buoy. The idea that I'm playing with is really just about speed into center line and deceleration after center line. I would also say that it's super hard to judge what I'm talking about when you're going between totally different skis.

Yes of course

Front ankle bone should be 1/4" forward of center. The best way to find the center is to measure across the bottom and then make a pencil mark on the edge. That back binding angle looks a little extreme - IDK with your injury

Caveats: The following ideas are not a proven theory. This may or may not pan out to be insightful. I am not advocating that anyone change skis or ignore factory size charts. If you are in the middle of the weight range for your ski, these ideas likely do not apply to you at all. If you are near the bubble for your ski size, then these ideas may be insightful. These ideas concern speed approaching and leaving the centerline. These ideas do not address how ski size impacts performance closer to the ball. The idea: Wider skis resist being rolled over. Less roll means less speed and angle generation into centerline. Narrower skis roll farther with the same inputs and create more speed and angle into the wakes, but require more physical effort from the skier. Wider skis decelerate slower after centerline. Narrower skis decelerate faster after centerline. Looking at these points in isolation, you would assume a smaller ski would be superior because it is going to make more speed and angle into the wakes and then shut down faster giving the skier an early path with a tighter line at apex. The counter to this whole idea is that skiers like Smith and Chuck Ross run 41 off at 36 on what would typically be called oversized skis - they both ride 67s. I believe Will Asher also rides a 67 most of the time. I only know of one elite skier who gravitates to obviously undersized skis. I know another elite skier who is experimenting with a 69-inch ski. Maybe this idea is relevant to skiers at a certain skill level but not at others. I would NOT advocate an undersized ski to a skier who was not running 35 off or shorter. Skier height is also not addressed above, but is important when choosing a ski size.

@Cooper_Trelawney things like HR and accounting are shared. things like r&d are not.

@MrBlack that is terrible. I am sorry to hear about this injury. The only time I have ever heard of a cahttered calcaneus is on jump skis.

At my lake club, membership is a share of a corporation. Members are not owners of the real estate. The cost of a membership is in the many 10s of thousands, plus a yearly fee for site maintenance, and then a relatively low cost per ride.
