Chippy, Im going to be in southern vermont, actually. Though, if northern VT is going to get significantly more snowfall, i might make the drive.

yes

Leave Thursday! Looks like some more snow is going to hit on Friday. I'm going up Thursday afternoon

I should be on the snow by 4ish....I've got an exam and then my office xmas party

Awesome deal, I've got the same laptop, and even though it's 2.5 years old it's still fast as hell! $750 is a good deal guys for a pretty powerful laptop.

Topic titled edited for correct time travel

They don't?

Yup...Blue jacket blue boots, glasses and white K2 PE's

I skied when I was young, then switched to snowboarding. I've been back to skiing for at least 6 years now I think, and I wouldn't go back But it's like cars...You sacrifice comfort for performance. The only car that balances both perfectly is a Corvette C6.

hehe...i've spent some good quality times there If the boots feel better, it's worth it.

Obviously that was a typo by me while I was trying to do that, while at work

Ya I know

Ya I know. They spend the coin to get a nice looking website, but when it comes to maintaining it, it looks like a 4 yr old does it.

This worked to get Blue Mountain's attention before about the linear vs vertical feet on their website, but let's try it again... Blue Mountain Staff: Please stop typing in capitals on daily reports. It's unprofessional, and it just looks horrible. And please stop putting so many spaces in between each line. BEFORE AFTER Simple things like this can make the website look much more professional. Caps certainly don't help. The use of caps on the homepage for updates isn't flattering either.

On Saturday, or yesterday? Was the person who you thought was me, wearing an obnoxiously blue jacket and matching boots? hahah

Adam and Pete Jr are good, but Sr doesn't screw around when it comes to boot fitting, so I usually goto him. Obviously he's the most experience, especially with race/top perf stuff.

Oh its the bone on the onside? Ouch. I have the opposite problem. The inside ankle bone pushes into the boot, but has been corrected now with some additional padding. Take your boots to Nestor's and tell Pete Sr your problems. Don't screw around with those Thomas clowns.

I was never as good of a snowboarder as I am a skier now, so I never had uber high performance stuff like I do now. But if you're an advanced to expert skier who doesn't race, it's very easy to get comfortable boots. It's those that want instant response and awesome handling that have to suffer until they get them dialed in perfect. I'm sure the same can be said for high performance snowboard boots, but to a lesser extent.

Is the pressure point on the inside of the heel? The $30 "fitting fee" must be something new

Dan, most skiers in general aren't on the level that demand pure performance from their boots. My street shoe is a size 12, but I squeeze into a 27.5 in a Lange WC that's 98mm wide. I've had experience similar to you man, and it sucks. They are awesome boots, but at the same time, they suck. I used to rock custom made (exact mold of my foot) footbeds from Nestor's with some custom modifications to the shell, liner, and insole. I walk on the insides of my feet, so my foot collapses big time in the boot. After skiing 14 days on them last year in pain, where I'd have to throw off the buckles as soon as I stopped moving at the bottom of the mountain, I used them opening day at Killington. I was like "wow my feet feel good". That was because they were completely numb. I also had a HUGE blister. Went immediately to Nestor's when I returned, and got fitted for some ALine non-custom footbeds. I used to not be able to move my toes, but with the new footbeds, I felt like I had so much room. Instantly fixed 95% of my problems. I've got awesome support, and my screwed up feet fit great in some super small boots. I only unbuckle my boots on the lift, instead of completely removing the buckles. My feet still get cold, but that's due to my bad circulation. And this is a non custom vs custom foot bed! I'd take the non-custom ones anyway now. I'd suggest taking them to a good boot fitter (like Nestors). Get some ALines for $95, and see how they feel. If they could get my weird feet (one is 1 size different, and much wider) to feel comfortable, I'm sure they could help you. Best $95 I've spent.

Awesome! I might head there on Thursday for some early morning turns

More importantly, who has the H2 w/ the Big Boulder Park sticker on the back? That's something that Papasteeze would do. lol

Doug...quit being an idiot. Julz, in all seriousness, PM TTC6 for a ride. He lives in the Philly area and frequents JFBB and will gladely give you a ride.

That VIP pass is baller status! It's an interesting way of doing things. I personally like to walk right from the car to the slopes, but I guess doing the ticket system cuts down on theft of services at mountains, since 95% of the people will have 1 type of pass on them.

Awesome! I'm thinking of going to JF on Thursday
