I was trying to figure out if the gear was too big. That confirms it, thanks!

Actually when I went to visit Jeff Bokum we talked about kids gear a little. He said it's very important to get the correct size boots for them. Don't try to eke an extra season out of them. Both for their own performance and for their safety. He told me that for every size too big the boots are there is a 30% increase in the chance the kid will break a leg. :-o

Good work on getting them hooked early. I'd rather have to explain why we can't go skiing off season than try to convince them they need to go in season.

Not only have we started watching ski porn, including a couple this morning, we started trying on ski boots today, the kids even got involved...

My son is going to be a ski jumper apparently.

You son is cute, Brian. He looks a lot like you. Wait a second....that didn't come out right... ;)

You daughter is ready to ski for sure!

Isn't that fortunate? ;)

That outfit he's wearing actually came from Stowe. Brian went to that clinic up there a few years ago and I was pregnant with our daughter at the time. You know we're eager for snow when the snowman outfit comes out. :D

And you thought my strong dislike of coffee was going to make car rides to the mountains uncomfortable this season! :eek:

I've got kids so it's okay to say stuff like that. Now if Marc says something like that, you got a serious problem...
