Good ski boot set up is vital …
A good set up really can give you the edge in racing. It’s a vital part of ski racing, it’s the connection between your body and the snow. Formthotics™ provide more control, power and speed. They also improve the comfort of my boots which helps with fatigue and recovery. I wouldn’t be without them!
2011 the year ahead
My brother Nick and I are racing in currently training and racing in North America. Our base is in Truckee, California near Lake Tahoe where we train with the Sugar Bowl ski team, we travel around the USA racing North American Cup races to FIS races.
