We hired fat skis yesterday and because they weren't aligned I really struggled and found it impossible not to snow plough with my right leg when I was going straight. So, there's plenty of evidence my alignment has made a huge difference thus far!
Thanks again.
Jo Gambi, season 2003

 
Ski Mastery alignment has made bigger improvements in my skiing technique than any coaching course, I now try to put my students through the same process. The level of success has been a revelation.

Mark Jones, BASI Trainer, Interski demo team member and author of Ski Coach, the Interactive CD Rom, 2003

 
Great skiing with alignment. I'm making lovely tramlines in the snow
Dave Cuthill, Ski Instructor in France, 2003

 
I am pleased to inform you that I have finally passed the euro test on 17th December. I would like to thank you and Bernard for your support and technical know-how over the last three years.
Jarrod Atkinson, BASI Ski Instructor 2003

 
I did notice a difference in the boots and my skiing. I certainly feel more solid carving.
Derek Tate, BASI Trainer & Instructor 2003

 
The improvements you made, through the balancing service, have been a revelation. I now no longer suffer the stress in my legs that I used to and ski with far more confidence.
Heidi Perry, 2003

 
I feel a lot more stable at speed and I have more power.
Scott Messer, BASI instructor 2003

 
Thanks for all your help with alignments. The new work is excellent and we are enjoying being centred once again. We are both pleased with the results.
Trevor and Trish Rodwell, Folkestone Dry Ski Slope, April 2002

 
I am writing to thank you so very much for your superb advice and fitting talents with the Dalbello boots I purchased in December 2001. This is by far the best boot fit I have ever had, and my skiing performance has skyrocketed.
Gary Crawford, MD, US Ski Team Physician, who is now skiing in the Dalbello Diablo Carving boot fitted at Ski Mastery in December 2001

 
Phenomenal difference, especially initiating my left turn, and my back doesn't hurt anymore after a days skiing. Thank you very much.
Roddy Willis, Precision Ski, Val d'Isère

 
You've opened my eyes to a whole new era of well-being.
Angus Boyd, skiing enthusiast March 2002

 
My knees don't even ache and usually by this time of day they are screaming - and the boots are perfectly comfortable
Marguerite Sutherland, Skier from British Columbia, March 2002

 
Brilliant, the boots are really comfy and my knee didn't hurt.
Angus Boyd after balancing in Carvex Dalbello's bought at Ski Mastery, March 2002

 
It's like someone's given me a new pair of feet - no more pain
Mark Gallagher, Feb 2002

 
It's not just the comfort, it's the naturalness - it's quite unbelievable
Paul McLernan - a skier suffering from considerable pain before balancing at Ski Mastery.

 
I feel more stable at speed, I'm as strong on both legs now - the weak leg is no longer an issue - my right ski always used to skid around and I was never happy with it until you balanced me. My boots are more comfortable.
Alistair Campbell, frequent skier with Alpine Weekends - December 2001

 
Amazing. I feel more natural, skiing is easier. Brilliant!
Susan Lang, Resort Manager for Erna Low - December 2001

 
Brilliant, my skiing is now even with no difference between turning left and right.
Caroline, saisonnier in Val d'Isere - December 2001

 
The difference is NIGHT and DAY
Crock - ski products distributor - December 2001

 
I am delighted
Yohan Aagaard, soldier on holiday with Langley Travel - December 2001

 
Fantastic - This makes so much sense, more people should be doing it
Dr Alan Griffiths - the English Doctor in Val d'Isere - December 2001

 
My ski boots are more comfortable, my skis felt flatter and I felt I was using my skis more efficiently.
Andrew Congleton - December 2001

 
I feel more balanced and in control of my skis - I can ski faster without losing it! Many thanks Bernard.
Steve Fairbrass, Ski Club of Great Britain Rep and BASI Instructor

 
It made skiing easier. Before alignment I had to work very hard to edge, now I can carve comfortably.
Michael Koffman, regular skier in Espace Killy

 
I now feel sure of my balance on my skis.
Josephine Koffman, Grade II ski guide for the disabled

 
After my boots were done I felt complete
Andre Brugman, Danish holiday skier

 
There was a definite change in my skiing and my knees aren't coming in so much
Jacob Sykes, ex saisonnier in Val d'Isere

 
1 degree on my left ski and it transformed my skiing.
Rod Lewis, ex saisonnier in Val d'Isère

 
It made a massive difference, my legs felt less tired, they were perfectly straight when schussing and I generally felt much better.
Martyn Guess

 
My skis were doing what I was telling them to do and my boots felt more snug and much more responsive.
Sue Guess

 
Definite improvement, greater control, greater comfort.
Steve Rowlinson - frequent Val d'Isere skier

 
It was excellent - quite dramatic.
Michael Hawthorne

 
In the one day we had to ski after we finally tracked down your new location we noticed a difference in the way we were ski-ing. Jenny says she felt immediately more confident and secure - she's not sure whether that's physical or psychological (or probably both) but she was smiling all day.
Stephen Fairbrass - 2002.

 
Hi Bernard - it's a few years since I've been to Val d'Isere, but will never forget your help. Since I am not planning to return to Val in the near future is there a video I can buy so remind myself of the fantastic experience I had when you sorted out my boots and gave me some tuition.
Rosie Miles, Jan 2002

 
It feels much more comfortable and I just didn't realise that ski boots could be comfortable like that.
Julie O'Clery, Jan 2002

 
The feel was excellent. I could ski with my skis closer together and with more control.
Peter Spano from Australia - Jan 2002

 
I have 2 weeks skiing experience; after ski balancing at your shop it has completely cured my right turn, which was the only side I regularly fell on. Turns are now equal and I feel much more confident.
Guy Griffiths, 2 weeks skier on holiday with Mark Warner - January 2002

 
I haven't caught an edge today which for me is a miracle
Tom George

 
Magnifique
Pierre Doumeizel - December 2001
(Pierre came to us with shins rubbed to the blood - after our intervention he HAD NO MORE PAIN and his problem was solved)

 
Before my foot was rolling on the heel a bit and now it's anchored to the boot so I feel more solid. It gave me more confidence. Before turning right was harder and I had to force it. It makes perfect sense.
Nigel Wright, Jan 2002

 
Even the boots alone are a great difference - Magic.
Fiona Stuart, March 02

 
The most comfortable boots I've ever had
Alan Ridley, after purchasing Dalbello boots and Mastery balancing, March 02

 
After exploring every avenue possible over the last 10 years to obtain some comfort in my ski boots and failing, I was on the verge of giving up skiing. However a fellow skier who had also been suffering like me in the past advised me to have a word with you. I decided to contact you in a last ditched attempt to take away the excruciating pain, numbness and discomfort that I was experiencing. You were able to diagnose the problems that no one else had been able to. I would like to send you my deepest thanks, as I am now looking forward to my skiing holiday free of pain and discomfort.
Paul Marlow

 
My boots are now so comfortable I don't want to change them.
Michael Baker

 
Turning both ways was easier and the pain down the side of my leg was gone.
Sarah Cole, Chalet Manager for Ski Scott Dunn, January 2002

 
I find I can turn a lot quicker now without having to worry - more control at higher speed.
Craig Miller - Australian on European Tour, Jan 2002

 
I was generally much more comfortable and skiing was heaps easier
Duncan Mackintosh from New Zealand Jan 2002

 
I ski a lot better than I've ever skied before and I can ski a lot faster with confidence. Also, I don't get a pain in my left knee anymore
Ian Lunan, Jan 2002

 
Aligning my right foot completely solved a persistent problem - no more catching edges - MAGIC
Faith Curtin, Jan 2002

 
I had 4 days of real pain and I just couldn't ski - after seeing Ski Mastery I had no pain and my body felt better. My instructor noticed straight away and asked me what I'd done.
Robert Miller, February 2002

 
As a late starter at 49, I'd become a reasonable intermediate skier by 57. BUT - I never quite felt balanced. My left leg was always weakish and I was a strong right turner! After balance and alignment I discovered I had a left leg!! My skiing is 100% improved and I'm one happy bunny.
Sue Conway, February 2002

 
Very good - I feel much stronger on my skis.
Dick Yates Smith, creator of the famous Dick's Tea Bar, Val d'Isere, Feb 2002

 
It was great - a lot more controlled and solid underfoot - well worth the money.
Andrew MacNab - February 02

 
Fantastic, my boots were going in the bin, and now they're fine.
Brian, March 02 - problem with rubbing shins.

 
Great - it works - My hip is no longer sore and I feel more solid on my skis.
Tom Shearer, March 02

 
He was quite sceptical, went up to the gates and knocked a second off his time straight away.
Lynne Doughty, mother of Josh, young racer, 4th in his age group the UK.

 
Just a quick email to say thankyou for your time, attention and patience. Thank you for sorting out my duck feet into your boots...hopefully I will have many years of fun inside them!
Bye bye and see you next season
Barnaby Reason

 
Dear Bernard and Shelley
Thanks for making our holiday so memorable. A few quotes for your brochure:
Miracles do happen! Me on skis - Thanks
Karen Wright, journalist

 
I didn't believe in balance until I had my skis on the wrong feet!
Starski - soon to be married to a millionaire

 
You and your balancing made us the coolest chicks on the mountain!
Starski and Hutch

 
I'm in with a chance of a prize in the Daily Mail GS Competition and I'm convinced it's the boots - it's so much fun in these boots and I really feel good.
Phil Skolimowski, who bought the Dalbello Diablo Carving boot with balancing in April 2002

 
Alignment has made a truly incredible difference to my skiing, and more importantly, to me. I had much more control over my skis than I have had in the past. Many, many thanks.
Alison Cook

 
Alignment has dramatically reduced the stress on joints and muscles in two very important respects:
1. I can feel less stress on my joints and muscles since alignment
2. I fall over less!
My personal experience of alignment gives me total confidence. It is the best thing I have ever done for my skiing, period.
John Bell (Ski Instructor)

 
The instant difference in our skiing performance and comfort was truly amazing.
Fabian Redpath

 
Thank you for sending the copies of your newsletters - I found them really interesting. They reminded me of the great improvement in my skiing during April after alignment. I certainly gained in confidence.
Jan Hill

 
A great result because Mark had no problems with his knee again all holiday and I received a glowing report card at the end of the week to say I was skiing the best ever—a great confidence boost. So thanks from both of us Bernard, we really did feel the difference.
Angela Gibbs

 
It has taken me years to get myself comfortable in my ski boots—alignment helped tremendously, thank you very much.
Glenn Rochester

 
There is no question about it, the fact is, alignment has given me self confidence in my skiing. What I get out of the alignment process is an unshakeable certainty and an understanding of what’s happening when I ski, which leaves me feeling very, very happy.
Once I was a gorilla with flailing arms, and my shoulders extravagantly rotating into the hill and my legs and indeed my whole body fighting the skis. Now all that’s gone, banished forever. Thanks to you I am enjoying my skiing more than ever, you have made my skiing truly worthwhile.
Gary Palmer

 
I would like to send you my deepest thanks, as I am now looking forward to my ski holiday in March 2000, free of pain and discomfort. Yet another satisfied customer.
Paul Marlow

 
A big thank you for sorting us both out — it really did make a difference.
Jamie & Gina.
