Those are really "Tecnica" boots, with Volkl skis, which are really Nordica boots. This combination is used by a number of WC skiers.
As far as Doug Lewis, he's annoying, so poor at the technical understanding side. But John you are right, the producers could care less. Most skiers watching think he's giving them good information, that's the sad part, many coaches and kids are being educated with this crap. That's why it's so disturbing and detrimental to American skiing.
The US Ski Team is so out of it, they don't recognize these issues are damaging their future. If you can't analyze a good turn from a poor one, you aren't concerned about Doug Lewis is doing to skiing. Lewis will negatively influence a whole generation of US skiers. And we wonder why we don't have anything in the development pipeline. It's easy to figure out. They used Ron LeMaster for decades, where did that get them????
Now they have Ron Kipp, who is totally PSIA, now Mike Rogan is a Downhill coach. Does anyone have any clothes for the emperor, he's getting cold.
