John, have you had your boots, footbeds, and alignment done by a trusted professional? That is a key step for skiing improvement.

No, not yet - there is very little scope to do so by a PMTS-accredited bootfitter here in Europe, unless I manage somehow to get to a Hintertux camp. I have been planning to pay a visit to the guys at Portes du Ski in the Netherlands for ages but have never managed to do so.

There are virtually no PMTS accredited instructors or bootfitting/alignment specialists - certainly none in my country, and none in any places where I might go to ski. You don't know how lucky you are in this respect over there!

Ideas are Hintertux, Portes du Ski, a trip to the US, or locating a local fitter well respected among racers.
Did you pass the tests on Pages 21-22 of Book 2?
