Here's an interesting podcast of Tom Gellie (Australian demo team) interviewing Harald. They discuss boots, alignment, and PMTS.

I listened to the entire interview in one sitting. I found HHs comments and Tom's responses very interesting.
My first exposure to the shop happened exactly 7 years ago. I was attending my first tech camp and arrived about 5 days early to get the feeling of being on back on ski's. After skiing a few days I went into the shop with my buddy from WB. I was told that my boots were rotational and I couldn't balance on them even on the shop floor. I got new boots and the stationary best estimate of what shims I needed, to be confirmed during the camp. That afternoon my buddy didn't recognize me as I skied past, it changed my skiing that much. Up until then as I was skiing I would be constantly changing everything to stop the tails from falling away from me. Sometimes I got it I thought, but it was constant adaptation. When I was properly aligned I was finally in a position to learn how to ski. Once properly aligned that feeling of being in control of my feet was amazing. I've now been to 13 camps and after each camp I've left with an alignment change. My alignment requirements are constantly evolving.
In the interview I got caught up with Tom's enthusiasm about getting himself properly aligned. He reminded me of a true PMTS practitioner, dedicated and anxious to improve no matter how good he thinks he is. I expect he doesn't have any idea of how much a difference a proper alignment will make.
