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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited January 29, 2021 by NMSKI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found them online, holy crap they are from 2012, that's at least 3 years older than I remember them being. 1 minute ago, GrilledSteezeSandwich said: What’s the reason for taking the screws out of the back of the boot? 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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Just now, theprogram4 said: Does he still ski blue? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiincy Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 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 https://www.outdoorresearch.com/us/face-masks-and-filters 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Whatever mask @AtomicSkier recommended has been grate. I bought six of them and wear them around when I’m not skiing as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
