The "I need to brag about a gear purchase" thread

[anders_nor]

GF was out to buy touring boots today, did find some she is considering, but was out of some models, ended with new regular ones, 1 shellsize smaller and low volume female, she some racing skis recently and the need for smaller boots (again) became apparant, shes down from 27,5 to 26,5 to 25.5 now.

Testing out fitment on skis to check if some skis needs remount or not, 26,5 shell is 309mm, 25,5 is 295mm (large 26 shell, small 25 shell)

ohh and I got my 2nd pair of atomic 130 CS redster, this time down from 28.5 to 27.5 "snug fit" imho the 130 redster
was out with another buddy getting him a pair, on a super deal... and they just happend to have the 27.5 on the shelf.

130CS redster is my "best boot that can be used as a daily" for.. years! Its my new daily for anything! (in 28) and 27 for the upcoming masters skiiing. I can't belive how much value for money it is. . Finally a PROPER 130 boot.

OK, a season pass is not exactly "gear" but last week I bought a Silver Senior Season Pass for Aspen for a spring price of $549, and that is worth bragging about.

It is better than gear.

Mike from premierskis.com just sent me these 172 Blossom Crosswinds. Used for 4 runs for a promo video and had for half price of the skis and bindings brand new. Can't wait to get on these!

I got these beautiful Blossom Siderals (Whiteouts) with gold Pivot bindings from @Philpug in April.

It’s Eastern White Pine from Maine. Our entire house is made of it.

Wow... you actually pulled your eyes off the skis long enough to think about the wall. Good for you!

Not a purchase...

Saw these in a pile of trash in the alley walking the dog this morning. Barely used...5-10 days at most...liners still smell new, soles in perfect condition, no cracks, barely a scuff. Not my size so someone is gonna get some free, nice, modern boots (Hawx 120s Prime).

FWIW...traded the above boots to a fellow patroller in exchange for a parking spot for the van whenever I need to overnight in the mountains . Good pickup!

You stuck the Stockli’s in a corner for a time out or you didn't want them contaminated by your other dozen pairs of skis?

It's my office I put them there since GF said I had enough for now, trouble was she visited me at office today... but kinda running out of spots to put skis, since I'm not allowed them except in hobby room and basement.

Looking at new house though with multiple hobby rooms!

You run out of room to store skis so you buy a bigger house. That's the SkiTalk mindset!

Picked these up last week. Hopefully there're not to much ski for a Intermediate recreational skier.

Tell which neighborhood you live in so I can dress up as a bum and go dumpster diving.

Shouldn’t the purchase price be required to post on this thread? Otherwise it is a “I bought stuff” thread.
