Iceman actually used his regular ski boots - but we got them at the K swap for like 40 bux... They dry out completely within a week and don't really damage the boot AFAIK.... YMMV

Old boots are the way to go.

I was prepared to pay one of the 12 year olds for ski retrieval.

I've hit water ramps before (Whistler), but have never been to the ones in LP . . .

PSIA is doing its thing again this year if anyone wants training in addition to just hitting the ramps:

Here is the response I got from the people who run the ramps.

Hi Jason,

We do not offer public ramping. You can either come with a camp or come and ramp with

our coach, Richie Morgan. The cost to come and ramp with our coach is $68.00 per day.

You have to be a current member of USSA or USASA (snowboard). You also need to bring

your own equipment: skis/snowboard, boots, life jacket, & helmet. You have to e-mail or phone

me to make a reservation with Richie. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thats cheaper than most lift tickets. I going to try to set up a day or two in August to make the trip up there. I will keep everyone posted so that we could possibly do an AZ day up there.
