After spending over 40 days on the mountain this past season, I can tell you firsthand that the stock footbeds that come with ski boots are almost always garbage. They are flat, flimsy pieces of foam that do nothing for your arches, your alignment, or your comfort. That is exactly why I started testing heat … Read more

If you ride more than ten days a season, paying for shop tunes adds up fast. Most shops charge anywhere from $50 to $95 per tune, and that money could buy you a solid tuning kit after just two or three visits. I have been tuning my own boards for years now, and the freedom … Read more

After years of skiing with sore feet and thinking it was just part of the sport, I finally swapped out my factory boot footbeds for custom ones. The difference was immediate. My arches stopped aching, my edge control sharpened, and I could ski bell-to-bell without wanting to take my boots off at lunch. If you … Read more

Keeping your skis properly tuned is one of those things most skiers know they should do, but hardly anyone actually does until their edges feel like butter knives and their bases are slower than a snowplow in wet cement. I learned this the hard way after my third season of rental-quality performance on brand-new skis. … Read more
