I have fairly small feet for my size--I'm 5'5" weigh 125-130 lbs. and am skiing in a 22.5 boot. My skiing has improved quite a lot in the past few seasons but I have really stalled out, because I just can't seem to get the tips to engage early enough, particularly on hard snow surfaces. They basically wash out on me, for lack of better description. No matter how much I try to roll onto the big toe and stay forward (I have been told I have a very good stance) the tips just do NOT engage on the majority of my turns, and it doesn't seem to matter what skis I'm on. (For reference, skiing Black Pearls in a 159, Sambas in a 166, Viva 8.0's in a 158--too short, have them for sale.) I got out on Kastle LX82's yesterday in a 164 but the edges were dull so couldn't assess them very well--they ARE a full camber ski.
So, can a short BSL relative to size and ski length be contributing to this? If so, what, if anything, can I do?
