If it is a vacation apartment, then a roomie can defiantly be part of your "gear". It can be expensive to have that extra home, so the financial split of the bills helps.

Very delicate balance between good float and nimble enough to make the tight turns and cuts of New England wood and tree skiing.

Choosing between a few AT boots....

Thinking about picking up another ski to use as my "everyday" resort ski so I won't have to use the Legend's and just keep those for touring.

Just picked up a new pair of Scott P3's! Should be exactly what I was looking for, stiffer twin tip for all around east coast use.

Yeah I consider the place part of the gear because it was essential in my quest to ski as much as possible.....roomie probably wouldn''t like it if he knew he was being talked about as gear tho.

Good call, on the grill, I knew I shoulda jumped on the one on SAC the other day. I'll hafta pick one up asap. Def. looking forward to meeting all of you and getting in some quality turns.

I have a grill you can have, not the best but free and it works. I'm not taking it with me to colorado, so it will just end up at the swap shop at the dump. p.m. me for details.

I picked up a pair of rome bindings. Still not sure what I am going to put them on. I am thinking about picking up a never summer titan tx but have not found a good price on one yet.

New gear?
I'm a bit shy about buying gear so I held back this year.
to The 08 Wave Spice I picked up in the spring, I added the Elan Speed Magic, Nordica, Olympia Fire Fox, Blue House MR171, and looks Like I'll be getting a Blizzard EOS in a few days.
I picked up some Rossi Axial2 bindings for the Blue House skis.
I also got the Leki trigger poles
I needed another pair of heavy ski pants so I got some Isis pants a month ago but I think rest of my ski gear looks like its ready for another season.
Does it count that I sold two pair of skis?

Well I just ordered some boots for the year. I was gonna get Dalbello Proton 10's but they were all out so I am getting the Proton 12's. Little stiffer than I wanted but they will be fun. Plus they look very cool.

Hawkshot, I love my Dalbello Kryptons!!! Everything about them seems to be very well thought out!
