First Gear Purchase for 2010/2011 Season

[AtomicSkier]

I guess I should go crawl in a hole and hide. My flex is to high for my skill level. When I go to blue all my supposed friends are going to make fun of me.

Just got this for my kid for Christmas. Finally I will be able to spot him anywhere on the mountain.

Justo...didn't you even say in an IM to me the other day that he should be on something 120+?

 

This post proves you don't know what you're talking about.

 

yeah, i did, but it's all relative. doug and i ski very differently and have very different shaped feet. he probably wouldn't be happy in the konflicts, and i'm 100% sure i wouldnt be happy in the speed machines. i'm just glad he finally got something decent that (i'm assuming) fits his foot.

Well, anytime people goto smallers boots, I know they're getting a better fitting boot, Toast included. I think people often buy boots that are too big just for instant in store comfort. If it's uncomfortable in the store...it's a good fit

My new boots are a bitch to get on in the parking lot.

 

 

First problem.

[RootDKJ]

That plastic hurts my foot like a bitch on failed attempts. I should put them on at home before I get frustrated at Blue Saturday morning.

 

If that's the plastic from the Aline...yeah I have the same problem. You kinda get used to it.

[Justo8484]

No the plastic from the shell the tongue gets twisted but it's what happens I guess when you go from a 28 to 27. Jeff doesn't always get into his boots the first try. I am also fastening the buckles between visits for the first time.

 

go inside to put your boots on. walking on gravel/pavement and not buckling your boots when you're not in them are probably the two worst things you can do to a boot, aside from melting it. boots are also way easier to put on when they're warm.

 

p.s. when i say i have a narrow foot, i mean stupid narrow. i've tried speed machines on a bunch and they're way too wide for me, they feel like my feet are swimming inside them.

We're all huge offenders of walking on pavement at Blue with our boots on. There really is no way around in. Even now with out far away the snow is going to be from the lodge up top, it's hard not to destroy boots. After 180 days on my old Langes, the heel/toe pieces weren't chewed up as bad as I thought. Too much hassle to put on cat tracks to walk from the snow to the car, especially on powder/beer days.

Note: Lange Rx130's are for real. I never thought my boots were "holding me back" but skiing just got whole lot easier with these boots. They are also very comfy. I give them two thumbs up

[AtomicSkier]

Don't know if this counts but i picked up a Canon S90.

 

I had the S90, but has since been broken. S95 arrives Thursday
