You still in the RX130s? If you like them, i've seen some deals on RX/XT 120s and 130s floating around on the interwebs... not stellar deals, but ~$400 range instead of like $700+ retail.

Good memory, yep I’m still in the RX 130s and I like them a lot.  I’ve seen some of these great deals on the 120s but I’m a little nervous about the difference.  Probably wouldn’t even notice though especially since I took one of the screws out of the back of each boot a couple years ago.

New boots arrived today. Last years XT 130s. Only took 6 days from Italy compared to the Edgie Wedgie that took 4 weeks from Ohio. My feet hurt just thinking of breaking them in.

Perfect timing on this delivery. Just enough daylight and snow to head out to the park for a test before the rain 👌🎿

Going to get some new footbeds this afternoon.  Only masking the problem of needing new boots but I can't figure out where to buy from or what to get so I'll continue procrastinating.

The boot doctor in Telluride is really good. I got my boots there last year.

Haha, my current boots (and all the various things that have been done to them) are from the boot doctor's other location in Taos.  

 

Anybody know how to tell what size last my current boots are?  I forget if they are 97 or 100.

I don't think the last is typically stamped anywhere on boots.
May just have to do a search for the specs of the model you have and hope it's out there.

What’s the reason for taking the screws out of the back of the boot?

Found them online, holy crap they are from 2012, that's at least 3 years older than I remember them being.

You can make them less stiff by taking the screws out of the back.  I did it to see if I could tell the difference with one screw out of each, and I lost the screws because I am stupid.

Does he still ski blue?

Expand  

Yeah he skis on his daughters old race skis.  Years ago I was screaming at him in the liftline that he was an internet troll when he was with his professional looking friends and he said I was harassing him. Then late last season he skied some runs with me and Atomic Jeff and had a blast.

Still in the market for xc skis if anybody comes across anything.

you have skis with touring bindings... get some skins! not exactly the same, but it's a thought.

If the cuff has the "L.V." graphic on it, it's low 97mm. If it doesn't, it's 100mm.image.png.22397ed29f0cfd90df193dbba185337e.png

Mystery solved, thank you!  No LV on mine, otherwise exact same boot so I’ll be in the market for 100mm.

I don’t recall there being an all green until the XT free came out. RX 130 was always white cuff green lower I think.

These are my favorite gloves/mitten I've owned... Still need to test the waterproofness, but they are so warm.... The zipper feature is flawless!

I got my boots at Larry’s in Boulder. It’s great place.

Before covid. It was one of places that peopl3 drank beers while finding boots and talking skiing. A local shop with experts all around. ❤️

It’s a small purchase but I’ve been on the hunt for the best gaiter or mask for skiing.

ive been loving the Outdoor Research face mask. I’ve seen it written up in a few articles but when I saw it at Wasatch Touring, I finally decided to give it a go.
 

Huge fan. You can find it on Amazon, REI, and other places

How breathable is it?
I'm in search of something that filters, but doesn't inhibit airflow as much as the one I currently have.
Breathing during exercise with it on is like trying to suck a golfball through a gardenhose, so obviously I can't suck hard enough.
