You joke, but I'll be sporting a dark red TNF windblocker fleece this winter on dry days.

Red will therefore be the official color of the CLITS. :-o

Red is good... you blend in with ski patrol....

I remember you stating that in the past and was thinking about it as I was buying my red jacket.

Just bought this jacket this morning:

Mountain Hardware Backstage (Conduit=waterproof) softshell. So now, combined with the new black Mountain Hardware (Conduit) softshell pants I have, I can be the Darth Vader to MRGisevil's storm trooper outfit. :lol:

I'd say I'm solidly at 8 now.... Where's the snow???? It's a Nor'easter right now!

But I'm not a CLIT.

I don't ski bumps (yet) and I don't have dedicated bump skis either. Plus I've only been MTBing with the crew a couple times.

I guess I'm just a groupie. :lol:

[SKIQUATTRO]

not yet....every season i have one defining moment when the "switch" takes effect...i never know when its gonna happen, but its like a light switch, one moment its all about surfing, mtn biking, then BAM,,,,skiing....then it happens again in the spring....BAM, skiing mode back to surfing, sailing etc.....

A rad 12+ mile MTB ride today. I'm cool. Still at a 7. Skiing is definitely on the brain, but I'm not struggling yet.

DalBello Proton 8. I tried on the Full Tilts which were recommended on the mogul board but the calf area was just too large. That is one funky a$$ boot right there though. Its totally old school. old school shell, buckles, almost like a rear entry boot in some aspects.

Cool. Looks like Dalbello is the boot to get this year. I picked up a pair of Krypton Cross.

 

[deadheadskier]

I picked up Krypton Pro's

can't wait to use them

I'm assuming the Kryptons are the next step up from the Proton 10's which would be a step up from the Proton 8's. Any idea what the major difference between the kryptons and the protons? (this is starting to sound like a star trek convention!) The ones i tried on just felt so good on my feet I couldnt resist.

 

[o3jeff]

I really don't know what the difference is. I don't think they had any Proton models at the shop
