Shit Skiers Don't Say

[billski]

I must have going at least 30 mph!

Well, this dude I was on the lift with last week intended to reach 60mph using his GPS to measure it with.

The best I ever did, through a visual start and a stop watch was an average speed of 45, from a dead stop. It was probably a 1/4 mile slope.

It's also a function of how people learn to ski here. People here learn on hardpack so they tend to put all their weight on one leg when making turns. That can work on hard snow but, in soft snow, they end up face-planting.

It's so simple, yet so insightful.

I can't wait for the 1" of rain to get here...

I really wish this wasn't happening here in Central Pa today:???::sad:

I love booting up in the lodge after leaving my ski boots overnight in the car trunk with sub freezing conditions.

I must've done that shit wrong. I'm still in my first pair of boots, that I bought back when I didn't know anything about skiing. Lucky for me I unknowingly/randomly bought a good brand/pair, but f-ing hell, it took a year before they felt decent and broken in. Now they're getting blown out and I need to fix 'em...

Go get a good boot fitting so so worth the time.

Boot fitting has come a long way. My boots are totally custom fit, including the plastic shell. It was really worth the $$ in my opinion, but it wasn't cheap.

So how much can they fix older boots? New liner? Or should I huck over the cash for a new pair? My foot is starting to really slop around, and I can lift off my heels a good inch now...

My wife got them as well (thanks Skidmarks at Suburban Ski & Bike!) and they are sick. I wish I had a pair. Maybe next season. She loves the way they fit. She isn't a great skier (still learning) but she used to hate skiing solely (no pun intended) because of foot pain. She said the fischer boots fit her like a glove.

can't comment on the performance aspects of them but at least from a comfort perspective she says they are amazing.

There are old threads on this subject fyi.
You should try their is a great boot fitter at Mountsnow, and really great thread that maybe you can bump for more research.

You need new boots, PERIOD. you could get new liners and have some "Fitting" work done, but I think it would probably benefit you more with a complete new pair.

Nik you should absolutely invest in some vacuum boots, Isn't that what the AD revenue is for J/K
