off-season shopping list

[gmcunni]

seems like killer deals are harder to find these days but will be keeping an eye out for a few new items this summer. Before the start of next season i'm hoping to have new:

• skis
• boots
• pants
• gloves
• goggles

i have no idea how i'll be able to afford it all but will be keeping an eye our for sales and deals.

What's on your list?

• pants - done...but I've got my eye on 2nd pair.
• gloves - done...twice.

Rooter U da Man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gmcunni]

redoing my list in order, with comments

• boots - current boot slightly too big and liner getting packed out. foot is floating around too much. I'd like to try a Dalbello 3 buckle but having trouble finding one i can afford that fits h my wide foot. Dalbello Axion 10 I.D (4 buckle might not be bad back up plan if i can get a deal)
  
• skis - looking for a 1 ski quiver replacement for my current Nordica AB (84mm), which have lost their allure. i'd like to go a little wider, kastle fx94 skied great but is way out of my price range.
  
• pants - want something a little more water-proof than my Columbia but i'm a fashionista so finding the right ones has been hard.
  
• goggles - current Smith and backup Giro just don't fit my face good. they pinch the bridge of my nose, making it hard to breath.
  
• gloves - low on my list but would like to find a cold weather replacement glove with a soft nose wipey thing and a goggle scraper.
  
• Jacket - (added to my list) i'm a jacket whore, more jackets = more better. specifically i'd like to find a light weight yet warm jacket for cold days. i don't like bulk (i have enough of my own)

18-19 with the cargo box on in the winter, 20-22 when the weather is nice, regular 87. It's a blast to drive and the sound system kicks ass. Unbelievably smooth over 100.

Between the new set of wheels for the spouse and upcoming college expenses for the oldest son, ski equipment purchases will likely have to wait...:-(

If I can get a killer deal on some Nordica Speedmachine boots I may take it. The recent offer on the Nordica Afterburner skis is tempting as well...

 

[2knees]

something fatter and better then the pos twin tips i've been using. the forward mount is freaky on those.

new pants. i cant carry the weight of the red baron powbmps bump pants anymore. need something less flashy.

and this was completely a joke. can't afford any of that. If I plastic'd it, you can add 'divorce lawyer' to my list. :lol:

Ideally I'd like to replace my B2s. If I can find one of the options I've researched in the $350 range, I might pull the trigger. The skis aren't toast yet, so I'll probably use them another year.

I have a very wide foot and was able to get into a Krypton Cross with a little shell work from Peter at Suburban. I like them, but they could be a little better IMHO.

• skis - looking for a 1 ski quiver replacement for my current Nordica AB (84mm), which have lost their allure. i'd like to go a little wider, kastle fx94 skied great but is way out of my price range.

Watea 94, love mine.

• goggles - current Smith and backup Giro just don't fit my face good. they pinch the bridge of my nose, making it hard to breath.

I have the same problem with my Giro goggles. I always forget about that until I'm wearing them. Thanks for the reminder that I need to be on the lookout for some new ones.

I also need to get some new gloves. I got a pair of leather gloves that I really liked at the beginning of the season, but then left them on the top of the car leaving the mountain one day. One made it home, the other is lost somewhere.. I'll probably just get a replacement pair of those.

I can't really think of anything else I'll need...

Most of these are retired.

Just picked up a new Phenix coat and pants last Friday Now before I get to my off season shopping list (likely some new skis next year), I've got to get both kids fully outfiited from the shoulders down (they're helmets and goggles will still fit next season! :lol: ) and then if my wife hasn't hit the shops yet for new gear , I'll go from there! :lol:

Dear lord, a one ski quiver fatter than 84mm for the East? I think I skied my Watea 94s 3 times in the East this year. Most days were on my Addict Pros (84mm,) shifted the balance to my F17s once I got completely fed up with the stiff tips on the Addicts. 80-85 is the sweet spot for the East.

Another pair of F17s and new boots for me. Might pick up a softer mid-fat at some point, I need one that doesn't infuriate me in the bumps.

Gonna stick with the Kryptons?

I don't dislike mine, I'm just really not sold that the design (non-overlap, forget what you call it) is all it's cracked up to be. For just bumps, they're great, but they leave a lot to be desired in other types of skiing.
