From SX to flip-flops--love it. That's some growl he's giving you as he realizes you're taking his picture.

Seems like a pretty good chance this is the same guy @mdf and I met briefly at Squaw two weeks ago. How many SXs are likely to be out and about on the last remaining lift served runs in California?

First day out on the WROD and a sighting.

I guess this is more like captivity than "in the wild," but I did stop to take a photo for @mdf . Matterhorn bar, Sunday River. You know, hanging from the rafters with the other antiques.

I didn't know this was a thing, but the thread prompted me to look for the bright yellow boots I saw earlier on FB Marketplace. While searching, I found a pair of Raichle (black), a sort of gray SX91 ($40, size 33.5), some women's Nordica, white in front, black in back, and purple at the top, my size!, white Raichle "size 8" women's, girls' Caber size 6, claiming to be women's 7.5 (?), and pink Salomon SX52 HTC, and gray Atomic Savor 80. These looked newer, but who am I to judge?

ETA: I was kind of amazed at all the boots unbuckled for their portraits. Then I realized, they are probably frozen that way and nearly impossible to buckle. I see those at the shop and have to enlist help to close the top 2 buckles.

We didn't post a picture of these but I found some NOS SX81 in a 305 for @Tricia for retro days.

Not in the wild but a spare pair I still have.
Loved the originals but have long since tossed the many skis I had with the matching foot pad

 

[dbostedo]

the many skis I had with the matching foot pad

What's a "matching footpad"?

 

[noncrazycanuck]

any thing I don't have to bend over to adjust

 

[dbostedo]

any thing I don't have to bend over to adjust

Was that an answer to me? I'm really confused.

 

[noncrazycanuck]

length of sole to binding

 

[dbostedo]

length of sole to binding

Oh... so you're just saying the bindings sized for your boots?

I was thinking "matching footpad" was some kind of ski attachment meant to make your skis match your boots, aesthetically.

Nice! Maybe it needs a power strap??
Now she needs a white VW Cabriolet from the 80’s.

An intensely stylish highway robber without a horse, of course. Of course.

I was thinking Gollum.

That would do, in a (log)jam.
