Every year I buy something in August, well it's July this year. I just scored a pair of Arc'teryx softshell goretex pants on backcountry.com for 50% off. No more wet ass on the lift. Getting gear in summer makes me look forward to this winter even more :-D

Ive been on a bit of a gear binge as of late. Heres the haul...

DNA Moe Jacket
DNA Louie Louie Pants
VonZipper Feenom Goggles with a fire iridium type lens (not sure what they call it themselves
Ride SPI Snowboard Bindings
Salomon F22 boots

This brings me up to 2 full sets of outerwear, 3 fully outfitted boards w bindings (1 pow/ 1 freeride/ 1 freestyle), low light and sunny day goggles, freestyle and freeride boots. I think Im fully outfitted for anything a winter in Jackson hole can throw at me.

I don't see a beacon, probe or shovel on that list...you're gonna want them if you plan on getting outside the gates...backcountry riding is high on the list of "anything a winter in Jackson Hole can throw at me."

i cracked my clear lenses for my wisdoms so i have to order another lens. ordered myself a new harness and a bunch of new beeners. i would like to get a new lightweight static rope but i havent bought rope in a few years. i am pulling the trigger on some spark R&D splitboard bindings. they are soooo much beter than voile system. i want to split last years air its a 161 and it little easier to turn in the trees than the 165.

A Cloudveil RPK jacket is out for delivery right now. Got it about 1/2 price from Campmor and it was the last one.

170cm Head Magnum Supershapes - $350 Demos but fantastic shape
FF14 bindings (took off the demo bindings) - $150
Head Mojo Heat Fits - $249 Backcountry.com

7 seven pairs of skis and 4 pairs of boots are enough.

I think I am set unless I need new pants after losing weight.

Dalbello Krypton Pro Boots
Pants
Soft shell

Last season I bought a TON of stuff. So most of what I have is nearly new anyway. The only new stuff for this season so far are 2 Helly Hanson base layer tops I bought yesterday on Tramdock.com and a Marmot McCloud softshell jacket I bought 2 weeks ago on SAC. All I need are some bottom base layers and I'll be good to go.

(Incidentally, in the near-new category of purchases, there consists:
162 Roxy Joyrider skis [skied on once]
Nordica Olympia Beast 10 boots w/custom unweighted footbeds [skied in twice]
Giro Fuse helmet in eggplant [skied in a few times]
Oakley Released ski pants [these are actually still new])

Those are great boots. I've been skiing on Beasts for a few years now, and absolutely love them. Have fun!
They're definitely an adjustment for me. Much more aggressive stance than my old Salomon Performa 4.0 beginner boots. :oops: Also 1 shell size smaller (my old boots were technically too big, but I only discovered that last season - I didn't know any better before). They need some tweaking but they should be great once I get the bugs out.

Incidentally, the clothing purchases were because I lost weight. Otherwise, I would have stuck with what I had. :D

....sounds good..

...Downsizing the boots sounds Great severine!
Good fitting boots/shells most Always have to be tweaked in the beginning....and are most always a little tight...(new liner).
