Skiing BS Thread

I would recommend going to a ski shop and trying on boots. They can help you decide. I would recommend getting flex of 90. And go for comfort. You really only need a super stiff and tight boot if you're charging big mtn lines or racing. And get it a little snug, because any good ski shop can heat mold most boot liners. But the boot has to have heat-moldable liners. Brands like Atomic, Black Diamond, Tecnica and Dalbello can do this. If you have any more questions, email me. I am Tecnica and Black Diamond certified for fitting ski boots

Like I said above, go to a ski shop and try them on. And make sure you get heat-moldable liners. They put the liners in the oven for half hour and make you cram your foot into the boot and they mold to your feet. It sucks getting it done (hot, tight, uncomfortable), but in the end it makes your ski boots fit SO NICE! I'd recommend it for anyone getting new ski boots. And they can usually re-mold liners after time.

 

some boot fitters can mold custom footbeds for you if you get your boots from them.. i got a pair several years back, and they guy had me place my feet into molds, ..and he used them to create footbeds...

...take the stock footbeds (that came w/ the boots) out, and put the custom ones in..

 

welcome! ...and remember, in skiing there's no such thing as riding "goofy"

 

just edged and waxed 3 sets of skis and a board.....we're all set to fly out to CO in 3 weeks

You mean the Rockies? Cause if so they kick ass.

Oh you don't need to tell me about additions. Have you seen my truck? I never expected it to turn into this.

 

Yeah I have orthotics i wear with everything. I've had my current boots for like 15 yrs and when I bought them the guy recommended a bigger boot to accomodate the volume my foot takes up. I'll probaly wait till next yr to get a pair since I wont be skiing a whole lot this yr.

 

Looking to get back into this year.

 

Colinb, couple of us will be there 12/15-19, all booked, but I've been talking to some people out in dillon/breck/copper area and they crap for snow right now, we need a few feet to hit pronto!!!

 

uhoh.....we're flying into denver on the 18th, first day of skiing on the 19th. fingers crossed for some more snow between now and then.

 

If we don't see a big dump within a couple days of flying out were gonna roll further west, steamboat/aspen/beaver and hopefully they get hammered.

 

Had to share this as I think it is one of the best ski segments I have seen in sonmetime. JP Auclair in All I can.

if anyone ever makes it up near vail I could keep around 14 people and their tacoma's for a TW Ski and off road trip

 

where were you guys going to ride?


i'm usually riding at loveland and abasin, but my cousin will be in town from tahoe that weekend so we'll be all over from the 15th-19th...

i'd like to get to silverton that weekend but may not happen...but steamboat has been thrown around and contemplating monarch as well...but his tahoe season passes work at abasin, keystone, breck, vail and beaver creek so we may stay at those mountains...

 

i'm down

 

Utah trip booked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't freakin wait, best Christmas present to myself ever. I will only get in 2 days of skiing though. But anyway staying in Kimball Junction, probaly either hit Deer Valley, PCMR, or maybe go to Snowbasin to avoid holiday crowds.

 

idk if any of you have creeped on my snowboard bs thread. but have any of you been to Ober Gatlinburg in TN?
