@WBLskier stretch your front leg quad an inner thigh, then stretch your glute of rear leg and both calves

knees and hips will change angles based on what the skier does, how much load is going to the ski vs upper body, and the ability to get to stay strong/stacked cross course.

@6balls practice was paid for scheduled ahead of time in time slots. With that said, ALOT of us did not get to practice due to the tournament running very late in the day. Totally understandable and all should want everyone the same opportunity ii For me, it would have made a big difference..but it is what it is and I had a great time!!!!

@BlueSki @JeffSurdej by the same token, I didn't bring my florida family to Wichita because of the expense....so it works for and against at all locations!

although I skied sub par, my 2 days there were great!! I saw lots of ski friends and made some new ones. I got to ski on a near by site, thx to @mbabiash !! the vendors area was nice, food options had something for everyone within 15 min of site. I explored Wichita a bit,found a decent gym, imax to get out of the heat/was really hot!, guitar center, almost bought a parker fly, what a beauty! lots of hotel choices..WPB will be as great or better as all of these things plus are even closer to the site! IF I had 1 thing to input, it'd simply be to hold nationals where there is a major airport or 2 near by/within an hour. connecting is terrible and makes for a long day. I could have gotten to Paris faster than I did Wichita. For me, time away is difficult, so efficiency of travel is important to me.

@jetpilotg4 paul, you're probably holding your breath in the course...exhale on exertion!!

leave the boots alone unless you're ok with the risk! They work great as they are....

let's make this simple..try to ski correctly...try to train correctly for what you want your body to be able to do and recover from..pay attention to the nutrients going in: are your foods/drinks helping you or hurting you.. the is a demanding, unbalanced sport, so we have to keep ourselves fit, strong and mobile..then the likelihood of a lot of these issues goes away... a little mindfulness goes a long way!!!!

you got it?! @Bill22

@lkb they are sooo different in terms of design alone..each ski shape will have it's special qualities and suit certain people.
