I started out as a skiier who borrowed my daughter's second-hand salomon snowblades. After a couple of years I realised I needed something safer and more stable at high speed so last season bought some Head Big Easies. They are awesome on moguls and ice, eat up crud and powder, and are very stable at high speed. However, I find when on fairly flat areas such as tracks and ski-lift approaches they just will not run and grind to a halt very quickly: mad: (something the snowblades never did!). I accept I have to do some 'skating' but I never had to do this amount before. It's also embarrassing being overtaken by boarders and skiiers on a flattish track
I am constantly fighting to keep the tips from turning in when straight running which is not helping. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it the weight? the binding set-up? my stance? (If it helps I am female, 5'4" and weigh 126lbs, age 59 but thats never been a problem before!)
I would appreciate any help as the extra skating is wrecking my inner ankle bones.
