Tögnar Season Closer Sale https://www.tognar.com/discounted_ski_snowboard_tools_waxes_accessory.html?mc_cid=794b533133&mc_eid=2814e95d5d&page=1

https://unofficialnetworks.com/author/nolandeck/ In Doppelmayr Seilbahnen’s newest video, we learn how over 700 tonnes of steel cable is manufactured and transported for a new chairlift. Building a new ski lift takes a lot of work. Trees need to be cleared, designs need to be made up, and, of course, supplies need to be made and transported. Each and every part of a chairlift needs to be sources, and the massive steel cables that move us up the mountain are no exception. In Doppelmayr Seilbahnen’s newest video, we learn how over 700 tonnes of steel cable is manufactured and transported up into the mountains for a new chairlift project. This video is in German, so make sure to turn on subtitles (unless you speak German, than enjoy!). The amount of work isn’t much of a surprise to me, but it is pretty crazy to see it all in action. Especially since the steel cables are just one piece of the overall chairlift puzzle.

I do not own Zips (yet) but my understanding is most folks put the liners on the foot first then step into the boot shell. The above video mentioned @6:58 that you do not have to do so by removing the laces and leave the Zips in the shell. Might lose some of the beneficial molding attributes by doing so, like heel hold and form impression fitting vs hard shell compression?

Take them out and put them on each time - explained near the 6:40 mark how to put 'em on . . . Can see how a heated bag would be nice.

Might want to read thru Zip Fit discussion

I’ll second using stainless M5 over Phillips head screws, be careful not to over tighten. Apply some loc-title or Teflon tape to the screw threads. http://www.alpinecarving.com/parts.html I had to drill out a few screws from a pair of my boots once and I vowed never again.

End of season sale is on and the U.S. $1.00 exchange is about $1.35 CDN. https://www.prfo.com/collections/sales Shipping rates on a board was very reasonable at $25 FedEx economy. Picked up A 165 Ride Berzerker last fall and had a lot of fun with it. Ordered a 155 Ride Peaceseeker.
