snowrider 寫:skier888 - Thanks. I bot my Lange boots from a pro shop. The boot fitter said that they fit well and did not need custom liners. My Lange boots are very tight. They are very hard to get in, but they make me feel good once my feet are in.
Not a technique question, can you do one foot traverse on a straight line?

I have no problem on one footed skiing in medium radius turns: inside ski carving, outside ski carving, or one ski carving both turns. However, I still cannot do one footed skiing in short radius turns yet because it is too dynamic and I cannot handle that so quick with one single knee.

Ahh, your knees. It was not a technique question. Thanks

Snowrider,
Sorry that snow storms have missed you guys; they first came last Sunday night, and left about 6" freshes on the ground, so I made some runs for you guys; if you guys have followed my tracks then that's what you may ski, nevertheless, tree runs are quite challenged as the snow coverage's thin, and the "unmarked obstacles" underneath the surface abound, but nothing can really beat the powder skiing, so here we are;

pku 寫:Just PMTS didn't promote the up, down movement and PMTS got so many terms different from other skiing systems
The universal modern terms are now called "load," and "release," where "load" is to press the skis to "glide"/traverse, and "release" is to release the pressure on the skis to change edges and to turn/changing directions, which can be done by "up and down" movements, or "sideway out," which is a combination of "down" movements with a "forward" thrust momentum, so-called "down-unweighting." Though up-unweighting remains a viable technique, but it is a quite outdated; PMTS, as well as the most modern techniques, uses down-unweighting techniques; "down" is the direction of gravity, so "down-unweighting" flows with gravity, so it is more "efficient"/better technique than "up-unweighting,"
