Welcome to episode 77 of The Ski Instructor Podcast this week featuring Tom Gellie of Big Picture Skiing.
This podcast was prompted by a recent viral Facebook post that Tom put together based on his recent experience of skiing in rental boots at Ski Dubai.
We talk extensively about the reasons why rental boots are like they are, what the purpose of them are and how quickly you need to get out of them in order to progress.
As usual with Tom and I, we ended up on a bunch of tangents about different stuff to do with boots and customising them to suit your own body.
To find out more about Tom, you can go back and listen to my previous episode where I interviewed Tom extensively, the link to that is here.

I hope you are enjoying skiing wherever you are and I'll catch you on the next episode.
Happy listening.

Great content!! ...but Tom perhaps doesn’t know Marker sell 2mm binding shims (and longer screws if doubling up to 4mm). All be it very hard to source outside USA & Germany. Heel lift inside shell & gas pedal under binding not necessarily mutually exclusive.
