GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 I don't have a boot bag. They're really only necessary if you boot up inside. Quote
enjoralas Posted October 28, 2017 Report Posted October 28, 2017 If you can also fit your helmet gloves goggles etc in there as well then you are correct. Boot bags are typically 75 ish and up. If you can’t then throw out the battery and see if that helps There is no battery. Just a heating pad and a couple of small zip pockets with cords for wall and vehicle power port. Definitely room inside for gloves and goggs, and a seperate pocket type thing on the outside for helmet Quote

Shadows Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 You got room in your car for boots with all that trash? 3 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 You got room in your car for boots with all that trash? I actually just cleaned my car out the other day. Because I had a passenger Quote
Maksim Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 Got there today at the end of the day. Place was nearly cleaned out. Picked up used boots for my 2 year old for $10. Picked up two pairs in different sizes. Too cheap to pass up. Also picked up a nice pair of gloves for $15 Quote
RidgeRacer Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 Yeah it was pretty much cleaned out by 11. Literally all boots in my size were gone by 10:15. The benches were lined with people trying them on (they actually had dudes there providing a solid boot fitting too which was nice). I was lucky to get what I got. Tried a pair of Rossi's that were too big. Another that were too small. Then saw a pair of new Full Tilt boots in my size sitting over by the snowboard boots. Someone tried them and put them back in the wrong spot. Figure I'd try them out. One of the Blue Employees helped me with fitting and Viola.. Great deal on new boots had. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 Full tilts have a lot of micro adjustments. My buddy Tom in Montana swears by them. I enjoy going to the dentist more than shopping for ski boots but it's something we all have to do every couple years plus maybe one extra season on boots you're used to. Quote
SallyCat Posted October 29, 2017 Report Posted October 29, 2017 (they actually had dudes there providing a solid boot fitting too which was nice). The store manager there, JD, is a really good bootfitter. They can do heat-molding and adjustments and stuff, even if you didn't buy your boots there. Quote

Was going to take them to a local shop around here who do a nice job but they charged me $80 freaking dollars last year. That's enough to make Ski2Live quit skiing altogether. 1 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 How often do y'all get stone grinds? Quote
toast21602 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 How often do y'all get stone grinds? Couple times a year when I drink too much and just ski out to the parking lot on a pow day. HARDY HAR HAR YUK YUK YUK RACK IT. 3 Quote

It looks like Blue charges $50 for a stone grind? That still seems like a lot. But the manager is super cute, so that's added value imho. Quote

But the manager is super cute, so that's added value imho. $50 sounds reasonable. If you want I'll try and find out if the manager is single for you.

SallyCat Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 $50 is not a lot... Roger that. I'm broke, so everything seems like a lot lately. Quote
JFskiDan Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Posted October 30, 2017 It looks like Blue charges $50 for a stone grind? There is a discount with season pass as well. I had a pair of skis tuned somewhere else beginning of last season, that shop made them practically un-skiable. I felt going back to where they were tuned was only going to end up in a weird confrontation. Blue straightened them out. I would use them again. Quote

RidgeRacer Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 Once or twice a year I'll make the I'll advised decision to ski the Blue Baumer or Sleepy Hollow trees. Once or twice a year I regret skiing Blue Baumer or Sleepy hollow trees. 2 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 31, 2017 Report Posted October 31, 2017 Also watch out where the huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow. Quote

I've used them too, they have a nice wintersteiger and they just throw them on the machine. As long as your cool with just a basic grind they do a good job and are quick. Nice to take a pair of skis back to base and then tune from there. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 31, 2017 Report Posted October 31, 2017 Johnny Law do you still have a Montana machine? Quote
