Do you remember what trail you were on when the photo was taken or maybe East side or West side of Hunter?

To me - based on the light and the background, it looks like the main face of Hunter, maybe coming off Cliff

Probably at the top of Upper Crossover, right below Hellcat, thats where I remember them setting up.

From my first trip west in 93 with Joe "The Captain", who has passed since.

Ok, I would have guessed The Cliff also like X10003q did and that ends at the bottom Hellgate so we were all in about the same location. It is a great photo and despite what people say Hunter is a great local area with my hat off to the family that ran it for so many years.

Some Salomon from my collection.

Upper Crossover was my second guess. Hunter is always a good day trip for me.

I've got a pair of Lab GS that used to belong to @ScotsSkier still mounted up, waxed, and ready to rock...No pun intended, bases are immaculate!

They [SX90Equipe] were introduced in fall, 1980, but I do not think you could buy them until a year of 2 later.

I bought a pair of regular gray SX90 and my friend bought the SX90E at the Basin Ski Shop in Killington. I think it was 1982, and I got the impression that it was the first year they had them in the store. The SX90E was a lot more orange than it looks in that picture. It also had a vertical metal strip riveted to the outside of the boot on the side that doesn't show in the picture.

A year or two later, on my first trip to Snowbird the internal cable broke on one of my boots while skiing the STH trail. That evening I bought the SX91E for full retail at the Snowbird base. The SX91E was truly red.

Took this photo right after purchasing (before I skied them).

My tribute to Salomon - drawn in the early to mid 80s.

Ahh, life before helmets.

1984 - 90E in action at Mt Snow. I used them for 2 years, could not get them to fit, gave them to my Dad and bought the SX91E. I sold those after 2 seasons.

I bought a pair in Avoriaz France in January 1981. Essential purchase if I wanted to ski the second week of my vacation as i had destroyed both my big toenails in a pair of Dynafit WC boots in the first week. I was at the stage where i could hardly walk, let alone ski, and the 90EQ gave me enough toe room to clear. Crappy boot otherwise though, think they only got used for another week in Verbier the following year when i was recovering from a broken ankle. moved to Koflach 511 foam the following year
