What could be the reason for one for the skis to "pull" to the inside?

Question

I am an intermediate skier (mainly blue slopes) but lately I noticed that when I go in a straight line (not carving) my right ski instead of pointing straight and parallel to the left one, tends to go inclined about 20 degrees closer in the front which slows me down. It takes a lot of effort to keep them parallel.

Is the problem the ski, the boot or myself? I am starting to think that my right leg is twisted....

I learned with this skis and used only them for 4 years so I can not tell if I have the same problem with other skis.

Answer 1

The easiest way to determine if the ski is the issue is by simply swapping the left ski for the right ski.  If the issue remains the same, then you have just eliminated skis as the cause of this issue.

If you eliminate skis as the cause, it is probable that you have alignment issues.  It could something as simple as incorrectly canted boot cuffs, or it could be that your left leg is shorter than your right.  Either way, it means that your leg geometry is somehow always putting your right foot slightly on-edge, which is why it always wants to turn in a little bit.

If you do eliminate skis as a potential cause of this issue, go to a bootfitter with a Campbell Dynamic Balancer and have him/her evaluate your stance.
