Just ordered some booster straps this morning. Planning on throwing em on my old boots and seeing how I like them before I go boot shopping in a few weeks.

I got that too this morning, looks like it is only good on certain items with "leaf thingy" next to them. Anyways should still be able to find some deals.

I am trying a pair on my Kryptons this year, I am interested on how they will perform.

I have a pair of Falcons from 2 years ago when they first came out. Incredible boot. Very precise, and smooth. I had to have the shells widened a bit to fit my wide foot, but it wouldn't seem to stay wide enough for me. I have those for sale on Ebay now. The new ones seemed wider to me right out of the box.
With the CS shell expanded a bit I'm sure I will like these more.

How are you installing them? I know some people who run them under the shell, on the tongue and some who run em in place of a regular strap and a couple who have some kinda double strap going, with the original strap running on the inside and the booster on the outside or vice-versa.

Unsure what I'm gonna do at this point, I'd like to figure it out soon. Any recommendations?

Even tho it was the last thing ( got 5 jackets already and several soft shells ) i really needed you guys stimulated my curiousity with all the good jacket deals at TJ Maxx

So today i found a saweet ATOMIC ski jacket BLACK with white and red trim regular $500 for $199 got all kinds of great features BUT my fav are the sewn in thumb cover thingys in the sleeves and teh in teh sleeve season ticket insert pocket -- no more flappin at least on this jacket

The Queen and I also picked up some FREE season passes at a regional speed bump that have reciprocal agreements on 3 days each week at 3 other areas -- FREE gratis --nada -- BEST deal ive gotten as a newly minted Sr

I am going to try them outside the shell.

Trip 8's are mounted with Jesters, now just waiting for my BlizzErd 8.7's to arrive. I will be done with purchases for a month or so at that point.

The Nordicas I bought came with Booster Straps. I finally got to try them Friday and they worked really well. Have you had a chance to try them yet?

My new Nordica Olympia Beasts have Booster straps, but they're not quite the same as the Booster straps I have sitting around that were waiting to be installed on my old pair of boots. Interesting...

Just got my son his new (to him, but well cared for) skis.

Skied without 'em on Saturday and then till lunch Sunday. Had SR Sports put em on while I ate and had a beer.

WOW, they freaking rock. Completely changed the feel, I felt so much more connected to my skis, so much easier to rail 'em on edge, completely eliminated all shinbang. I am a convert for sure. Still gotta buy new boots next week, but for now they breathed new life and flex into my beat up old ones.

Ended up doing the same. My shell top ended up being too high to put them right on the toungue.

I just bought a $499 Arc'Teryx Stingray soft shell on eBay for $205.64 including shipping. I already own one but I lost enough weight over the last year and a half that I needed to drop down a size.
