welcome to the club!

still blowing!

temps next week appear to be headed in the cold direction....hopefully that trend will continue thru the end of the month and into dec.

me and buddy from college. tinymoose is doing a girls trip. the lodging deal is at a crystal inn.

yup. scored a killer ski and stay package through utahstate.com and used some miles to take care of the plane tix. we're staying at a local hotel, but the rate includes all transport to and from airport, full b-fast, light dinner, and the lift tix are on the ski city super pass (which covers both cottonwood canyons).

gonna bounce around between the solitude, snowbird, and alta.

utah is booked for end of february.....stoke meter is rising!

we're planning to be up at jay peak in late march....gonna bring the sunscreen

i'm not gonna hold my breath, lol.....

sad....I've skied there twice. tiny little place, but the lodge was kinda cool and old school. that's where tinymoose learned to ski back in the day.

felt great this morning! back into the 80's for the rest of this week though...

Pictures are better than words.

well I also had a ton of alignment problems in those atomics, so i'm hoping that with these dalbello's I don't need any canting. I was standing fairly flat in these boots (I wasn't in my atomics). but, when I went to balance on one foot I couldn't....so i'm thinking that if anything I might need some slight shimming of my footbeds to assist with balance.

welp, I bit the bullet and bought new boots: dabello kr pro id. I had my eyes on these boots b/c they were supposed to be one of the most straight up boots on the market. my atomic's have a pretty aggressive forward lean to them and that was putting a ton of stress on my lower back and knees. I have fairly long shins and the aggressive forward lean was putting me into a less than ideal position. these boots seem to put me in a better overall stance and alignment straight out of the box. the only thing we did to the boots (besides bake the liners) was to change the forward lean from the std 13* setting to the 11* setting. no pressure on my back and the knees feel fine. also, my butt doesn't fall back when I flex into these boots (like it did with the atomics). i'm hoping that going to a 3-piece shell w/ a wrap-style liner solves most of my boot issues. gonna ski them to see if any other adjustments need to be made.

that snow looked tasty! nice pics. you def hit up WF at a good time. that's a steep mtn and very icy during mid-winter. def need freshly sharpened edges there, lol!

love smuggs.....great pics!

very technical.....

you said snirt....lol. way to go for it and thanks for sharing the pics!

I think i'm pretty much set on ski clothes for a while. probably gonna get a new pair of boots this season. thinking of going with something a little more upright, like the dalbello kr 2 pro id. we'll see how they fit when I actually go shopping, lol. also, may try to score a used pair of volkl rtm-81's if I can.

i haven't looked at the number yet, but this was my far our most expensive season thanks to the big sky trip......

sooo......how are the conditions?

def a great time yesterday! PASR's know how to party for sure.....

which part of the lot?

i'm assuming location is in the valley lot?
