I got the terminology backwards. My old Solomons were rear entry. My current Nordica are front entry. Definitely replacing within the next two months when I find the right affordable boot that fits well.

Anyone have any experience with boots at the 2 places closest to me: Ski Barn in Lawrenceville and Lang's Ski and Scuba in Ewing?

Interesting. I could consider that price point. Folks feel these are well worth it?

How much would something like that run with the discount. I really don't know the first thing about boots. I have owned three pairs. Some used rentals I bought at Little Gap around 1980, some Solomon front entry boots I got when those were hot around 1988, and these Nordica rear entry boots I got at least 10 (maybe as much as 15) years ago.

Was trying to type 10 years old with 150 days on them

Thinking of getting new boots as my liners are getting worn out and I am using duct tape to keep them working til I figure there will be sales towards end of season. Never used a custom boot fitter before, just bought off the shelf and never had a problem (my Nordica are about 10 years old with about 10 days on them) You all figure custom is necessary if I never had a problem off the rack. Would imagine that kind of precludes deals. How much would it set back?

Nice morning for me at Shawnee with the kids. Surface was a bit hard at 8 but real soft by the tine we left at noon.

How many buddy passes are included and are those good any day?

Afternoon of Sunday after the big snow was the day I had this experience. I was skiing with kids who were trying bumps for first tine on 2 of those runs (so more time was spent going downhill as well) and we took a bit of a break when lines were too ridiculous, but it was easily over 15 min wait for every lift.

Riding on one of those tracks on a side hill next to a trail I hit something unexpected and took a spill. Not sure how it was the thumb that got hurt as it happened pretty suddenly. Starting to feel better, but have to see if it swells up overnight

Nice hard fast cord at camelback today too. Skied 830 to 2, no lines till 11 and managed to ski alternate lifts to avoid lines once they formed. Freaking freezing start got me to buy my 1st face mask Injured my thumb a bit. Icing now.

Interesting. For the sofa?

Clearly I don't. Care to share your secret?

It happens, but the one day I was at Blue this year the lines were so bad I got 7 runs in over 4 hours. I could have done about 20 on Phoebe Snow in that time, and with much less aggravation because sitting on a lift is relaxing and scenic while jostling for line position in a disorganized mob is annoying as hell.

I assumed that rant was tongue in cheek making fun of the things people post about montage. I would certainly take no line for the Phoebe Snow lift over a herd like mob spending 20 minutes jostling for position to get on a high speed sofa.

At Shawnee with kids yesterday. As crowded as I have seen it there, but lines never got over 10 minutes on HSQ with under 5 on other lifts. Pretty good conditions overall considering. All trails still open but getting narrow and shallow. Getting worried about how long we will be skiing this year.

Why does fog melt snow faster?

Open some is open I would say for 100 day guarantee

Maybe President Bernie will get ski slopes to accept food stamps. Then things will change.

Oh yeah, a power plant will be awesome for property values

No worse than the East Mountain lift line I skied at Frost Sunday

Only married once. Enjoying being a single dad half the time now. Thought I was marrying my best friend, things change. Would not buy real estate with ski buddies. But if you do definitely discuss all these issues and any others you can think of between you first and reach consensus on how you want to resolve them before going in to ask a lawyer to draft your document. Don't want to pay him by the hour while you hash these out in his office. If he is any gpod, you can also count on him raising some new issues you will not have contemplated that you will have to resolve. FWIW I am a lawyer, but please do not consider this legal advice. Consult a lawyer who is expert in such things.

I think it is kind of crazy to go in on a real estate purchase with folks you don't have a life long bond with given all the issues that can arise. For example, one person doesnt make their mortgage payments and either someone else has to cough up that amount or the property goes into foreclosure. And the % ownership of the person missing the payment is not automatically diminished. Even is you pay cash, you can either have a situation (depending on how you structure the deal) where one person could sell their share to someone you don't all like or trust or where a person could not sell if they needed the money and some of the others did not consent to the person he wanted to sell to. You may all be best buds and have commit needs and desires and plans today, but people's lives take them in different directions. I'm real glad I never bought real estate with my ex-wife, and I thought we had a life long bond.

Was living in a townhouse in a complex where they hired plows and shovelers. I got spoiled for sure. Probably doing Shawnee with the kids this weekend. Got 4 more prepaid visits with the kids there to use up this season. Have one more prepaid trip to Blue so I will be there at least once more. With as short as this season may be, I am racing to try to use all the tix I prepaid for with PASR cards and other deals.

Having just bought a place I will need to shovel myself 8 days ago (nice timing, was originally supposed to close on it 11 days ago), I will be ok if future storms this winter focus more on the mountains than on central NJ
