Replying to Touring v boot packing

so basically, no offense ski industry, but bootpacking is the true secret to excellent skiing above wax above new boots above toes warmers above fancy goggles, right?



I started boot packing after closing two years ago and made so much progress during that pretty short time. Was it the soft spring snow? Or like, maybe end of season untuned skiis? Or does carrying skis on your shoulder give you ski super powers?

I’ve see ppl on touring setups trucking and looking easy breezy while I’m huffing and puffing and shifting my skis from shoulder to shoulder but coming down it doesn’t seem like they go as gnarly, maybe not as much of a power transfer?
