Hey I like skiing but I'm not losing a toe over it. Haha

[Tropicgreena4]

if your boots fit correctly and don't leak, you shouldn't get cold feet, until about -5 F

[sean1.8t]

Definitely ready this year! Last year I broke my arm skating on Dec 5th and spent 3 months in a cast up to my arm pit. Ruined my season.

I got new jacket, boots, pants, gloves, helmet, goggles, hats and season passes to 2 different resorts.

Gonna aim for 80+ days this year. Haven't done that in like 4 years. PUMPED!!

[Slow4]

The only upside to Sandy was her dumping about 2ft of snow onto Snowshoe Mountain, WVa.

- wait, i think every person who posted, is a skier.

wow.

As it should be.... lol

Hey now haha.. I ski'd from age 4-14 and have since snowboarded from 14-30. Skiing had it's time and place for me but was fun for different reasons.

Are you guys serious with the 80s get ups? Must be a west coast thing, because it hasn't hit the northeast yet.

Only on gaper days

[KPC1.8TQuat]

and nothing wrong with liquid carving. sorry snow and stuff is fun, but doesn't hold anything to fun in trunks

Someone mentioning liquid carving...?

[Bllzll]

expand on this... My feet have been freeeeezing the last two seasons. my boots are half a size too big. i had no clue this could be the reason why

[rjpeaks]

get rid of the rope.

j/k kidding Kurt!

ok - Tahoe offer - https://www.facebook.com/squawvalley

You must be kidding; Killington '11.....Nate (DblZero) and Yam (Martianbooby) were running around the house in their 80s ski wear they found in the owners closest.

[beemercer]

oh beem...

lol, just jealous due to my season ending in March

[rjpeaks]

Tahoe already has three feet - Squaw.

actually last year was terrible - the snow finally came late late in the season.

this after two years of 20+ feet.

Clearly I wasn't on the GCC Killington trip.

We had pictures floating around GCC for a while. If one happens, you should join with your 80s wear.

[rjpeaks]

and will not be renting my place to Yammer and Nate!

keep me posted on Killington this year....

[SoCalS4Avant]

No hating on either one lol

[SoCalS4Avant]

I'm jazzed for the season to come...

Riding on my old Volkl AC50's with Marker IPT bindings for the groomers/early season/icy season
and
Have a new/unridden set of Rossi SC87 Phantoms that I've been itching to get out on for mid-season and most other days.
and
Ready to punch some pow on some Rossi E98's.

Currently on some Technica 110 boots from a couple years back, but may look to upgrade soon.

I disagree!!

a lot of times when boots are too big, people will really crank down on the upper buckle or two to help the foot not move around much inside the boot. This results in decreased circulation to the foot, which causes cold feet. Boots should be snug, but no pressure points. This will also help with energy transfer from the legs to the edge of the ski, making the overall experience much more enjoyable. Think of it like this: which would be a better driving experience, a car with nice, tight steering, or a car with sloppy, unresponsive steering? Boots that are too big are essentially cause sloppy, unresponsive skiing.

Shit, Bode Miller wears boots that are 2 sizes smaller than his shoes, which allows him to have incredible responsiveness. I wouldn't recommend this, as it's very, very painful going that small.

Can't wait for the snow to fly this year. Hoping to get back out west for a trip this winter, spent a week in Whistler last year getting dumped on (175cms over the 7 days).

Currently on Lange boots, Dynastar skis, Leki poles.
Used to have the full Fischer setup, boots and SL and GS WorldCup RC4 skis.
Raced all the years growing up, then starting coaching. Did that for the past 10, last year was the first season I didn't coach for the full season. Was still on the hills every weekend and hoping the weather this year will be better.

A snug boot is key, but I wouldn't recommend anyone running race fit unless they are serious in racing. It is no fun being crammed into a boot that way.

Some boots are colder than others, just the nature of their design and build. You can always look at boot heater, my custom footbed has a heating pad in it.

I completely agree. I was just throwing that out there for emphasis.

[rjpeaks]

I would love to make it out west. Would need to rent some powder skis though.

In undergrad I took some friends skiing who were from the west coast and they couldn't handle our icy conditions. None of them knew how to actually use their edges, all they could do was slide and fall. It was a shock to them.

One of them talked a big game, so I took him down white heat @ sunday river. He wrecked in the first 200 feet and didn't stop till he hit the bottom. White heat is just below tree line and I think averages around 43* slope. Snow doesn't stick to surfaces greater than 65* slope.

you'd love it.

have fun boys!

[Gberg888]

Cant wait!

Loon season pass, place there, new skis (6th senses), tunes... good to go!

[ataylor]

lol @ the ice discussion

I grew up on Sunday River & Sugarloaf, cant wait for my first CO winter..

[Slow4]

I disagree!!

Allen?



Ya buddy

[DownhillA4]

Anyone else on Audizine excited to start skiing/snowboarding? Post up pics or just tell us what your setup is!

I'm excited but I wish winter came without sand, gravel and salt being thrown on the roads. I'm a snowboard instructor so i'm on the mountain every single day in the winter.

Will be doing more then normal trips up north to Jay Peak since friends just bought huge houses there and my boss now run's one of the departments. Plan on doing Killington again too, love the trees at that place. Need to get myself back out to Mammoth, miss that place....bluebird 50 degree days just after a huge snowstorm. Perfect amount of bowl/tree runs and park, winning!

PS, also selling a mint set of 2012 Atomic Panic/Atomic FG10 bindings all-mountain twin tip Ski's. 157cm. PM if interested.

[Alkivar]

so where we doing the GCC winter GTG this year? Killington again? Sugarloaf? Colorado?
