- Stop skiing backseat.
- Bend your knees more.
- Get boots that fit.

Likely a combination of things.

-Skiing backseat
-Poorly fitting boots
-Bruised calves or just generally weak calves (do some calve specific exercises and other leg workouts for skiing)
-Potentially having something between your sock and boot(Don’t put any base layer inside the boot)
-Lack of stretching

a few solutions
- stop skiing backseat
- your boots might be too stiff
- you might need to adjust your ramp angle with a heel lift or possibly grinding down the front of the foot board

When you are at the bottom of the run or waiting in the lift line unclick one ski at a time and swing your leg out in front of you to loosen up the back of your legs. Just dont hit anyone or do too many and not be able to get your ski clicked back on before the line moves.

hydrate, get nice tight compression socks. also peep ur insoles on the boot cause you may need a more supportive arch profile. calves be connected to the feet, so try to track down a foot bed issue.

Booster straps, or just tighter straps to eliminate any gap at the cuff of your boot. sounds counterintuitive but the snugger the better so you're not banging around
