What do I have left to get?

Pair of race stock GS skis.
Pair of all mountain skis
Much stiffer boot for raceing(I think Tecnica Dragon 120)
Either new liners for my Nordicas, or new boots for everyday skiing
GS race suit
Maybe a new pant/jacket combo.

A apartment by the hill.

Yes.

A distinct lack of snow coverage in July. :lol:

You still using the click ins?
Around here you would be right. I am still using Burton SI bindings. I stocked up on boots and bindings after they were discontinued. I should be set for the next 20 years or so. Last season, I had to make a repair to a boot. Came out pretty good if I must say so for myself.

I forgot if I meantioned it before, but I noticed Galactic Snowsports had a bunch of step-in gear. I bought some of my kids stuff thru them, gear was in great shape. Looks like they have Burton stuff, plus the K2 and Rossi stuff.

I have purchased 2 snowboards this month. Does this mean I have a new problem?
Only if you try to use them before you purchase the other essential gear - Bindings. :)

One board, Never Summer Premier F1-R 172 will be set up to be my main powder board. I hope I get to use it a few times next season.
Never Summer makes a damn fine board.

...to at least try...

1) One boot: Lange SuperBlaster..~120fflex(fwiw...), then will probably just order a $20 Scarpa black tongue for my Endorphins...;-)
2) Blizz's GForce Supersonic (72?mm) and a few Nordicas(70something mm)
3) Any & all fatter skis.....

I thought you wanted to be cool and get a pair of Kryptons

Congrats on the purchase:daffy:

I've tried on Kryptons. They don't do it for me. Today a tried on Head, Technica, Fischer, and the Atomics. As soon as the Atomics were on I knew they were it.

See, I was thinking a nice pair of AT boots to go with his Dukes.... :)

That'll be next year. Or maybe in the spring ... :daffy:
