Somewhere "cool" and dry.

It likely wasn't the cold, but the heat in the summer. Lofts get extremely hot, enough to mess with the foam of the liner.

If they are only feeling too tight, well that's normal after just one off season, after three... Over time the heat molding foam expands again. I normally need a day or so in really, really thin socks at the beginning of the season. I would take your boots with with you and have them reheated at a ski store. Unless of course it more than just feeling too small.

It's the sign of a regular skier, so wear your duct tape with pride. Many boots suffer from leaking snow in at the bottom of the arch overlap. You can get coloured taped to match the boots better.

That's a great way to do it. Should keep things nice, without stigmatising someone for life :D

Help me understand Andy. Are you talking about counter rotating the hips to point to outside of the turn, whist the legs track with the carving skis?

Always best to avoid stopping under lifts. We have all seen ski poles and the occasional kids ski on the snow below.
