^^^ I've lusted after a Thorium for awhile now. Good for you.

Santa thinks I'm a lard ass. He gave me a Fitbit.

oh oh, wait till my wife sees this post. I bought her a Fitbit HR, claimed it was because she wanted one as my daughter has one and loves it.

But now she'll suspect otherwise .... thanks!


I did get these from my daughter, nice way to start learning some basic techniques:

These arrived today!

These have been ordered, not received yet, but I'm stoked. I'll post a pic when I get them mounted up. Blizzard Zero G 108s & G3 Ions:

AT happiness...I hope.

This year's colors. Green is so 2015.

I just bought a pair of Moment PB&Js with Rossi FKS bindings for $400. Just a couple days' use on them but that set-up brand-new would be a solid thousand dollars! I brought them into the shop to get the bindings remounted, expecting about a week turnaround, it being the middle of winter and the weekend starting up. But then I got them back a day later, all remounted! Can't wait to get them on the snow. My only problem tomorrow will be trying to decided whether to ski those or my fat skis.

First world ski problem.

Picked these up last week from Rahlves, couldn't find them anywhere else. Figured they would be pretty thrashed given he's been skiing them for a whole season but they dull have a ton of life left in them.

I wanted the 2015-16:

So, thanks to Bob Skinner's at Sunapee, I've got them. Bobalooski's Attack 13s get mounted there on Sunday . . . maybe Saturday, and then I probably won't ski them. (Unless there's a miracle, or I fly west.)

I think you will be happy with them on variable spring eastern snow.

In a flash, if we get any, if it doesn't wash away is the deal. I'll ski them on some base — demoed them at Okemo on everything from solid ice to soft piles of damp manmade, and that was pretty ok. I'm not sure that pure ice on 100mm would be so pleasant. Not sure it'd be pleasant on 84s, though, either.

Get ice skates.

Here's how they look. My first time mounting G3 Ions - shout out to @SlideWright for the template which worked perfectly.

Now if it would just snow again…

Some guy on the old place is selling 170cm LT11s and SL11s,

 

[Gerry Rhoades]

SL11's are good on ice.

This year's colors. Green is so 2015.

The green ones weren't ripe, they turn orange when they are ready to ski.

 

[Read Blinn]

Hm. Yeah, well, 170s?

 

[StoicDude]

Some new stuff. Getting a spin tomorrow at Rose.
