The poster is looking for boots with "1/2 to ¾ foot space" does that mean you want your boots to fit only half or 3/4 of your foot ?
Not sure what to make of op- marketing ploy, troll or my twin from I returned to skiing in 2007 and researched to the point of paralysis.
That being said- It's all about the boots- worth the time effort and money to find the right ones from someone who knows how to fit someone who is not an experienced boot buyer...

I really should put carbon fiber poles on my shopping list for this season. I have no idea how I've gone so long without them.

I have a magic one in stock that runs from your doorstep to Sugarloaf. This is going to cost you.

I have the title deed to the Brooklyn Bridge. Been trying to offload it for years. Clean title. No restrictions. Price negotiable. Serious inquiries only.

Yeah. We got the title from a Nigerian guy. Awesome gent. Took us to lunch at Peter Luger after the deal closed so we can have a good view of our new investment.

He must have sold you the Williamsburg Bridge.

Yes, free skiers. A ski with a short turn radius will be easier to turn but will tend to be hooky if you like straight lining or charging a line. If you want a big mountain ski, ski chutes or are an aggressive charger, you'll want a big turn radius ski. A ski with pronounced side cut wants to turn and can be hooky when straight lining making injuries more likely.
Back to the OP, as noted by someone else, unless the poster is a teen or a really short and light individual, a 145 ski may be too short. One to 5 DIN? you only get that range on kids' skis. The rest of the list makes me scratch my head.
And whippets, if you're doing any backcountry climbing, I really recommend them. Take two if you can, it's like being on four wheel drive when climbing. Plus, you have the security of those points when the entrance is too spicy. I'm a believer. Just don't use them inbounds.

This one may top what started this thread!
It's the lead to a thread on one of the dentistry forums that I frequent in the dental student section
"Just something I've been pondering for a while.
Unlike probably all of you here, I am a) trans, and b) independently wealthy.
No, I did not inherit it. I worked for it. When I came out as trans, my parents freaked out, and stopped my degree funding. I eventually trained and found work as a paralegal, which paid enough to live on. I also had a part-time job as a high-end ($1000/hr+) escort. Unlike most of the tgirls who escort, who spend their money as fast as they make it, I invested the majority of mine. I did that for 10 years until I got burned out, and decided to pursue my calling.
So, I'm doing dentistry because I truly enjoy it. I don't need the money at all.
I have a net worth of $8.2M+, and I earn an 8.5% yield on my portfolio. I sell 0.5% every month for income. So I basically have $500,000/year for life.
Here's my questions (concerning after I get my IDP DDS/DMD):
1. I really want to do OMS, as it has everything I want (cool anatomy, trauma, infections, cancer, cosmetics), but I know its fiendishly competitive because of limited spots and the high costs involved. Would it be possible to offer to pay all the costs the program would incur, plus provide research funding, in exchange for a spot? They need the money, and I need the training.
2. Is it possible to have an OMS practice and not charge patients? Just use my passive income to pay for my staff, supplies, insurance, etc.? Or at least charge them very little? Hmmm...become the low-cost leader in OMS, capture the market share, and then slowly raise prices...
Thanks so much,"
The poster lists themself as a dental student from Prague, Czech.
For reference in the thread OMS = Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon
And as we all know, if we read it on the internet, it must be true!

Interesting life. Transgender escort isn't a career path I've considered. I wonder how well my beard would go over?

You'll most likely do very well.
