Hydrate. Sportlegs from day 1 and throughout the day. Walking and stretching at the end of the day will help.

Side note, wrap some Teflon tape on your heel screws and/or change out to stainless steel M5 x 20mm (hex head) bolts. Had a corrosion issue as they usually apply salt in the parking lot where I ride. Broke two drill bits as I had to drill out a couple of screw/t-nuts. Be careful not to over tighten the hex head bolts as you can apply more torque vs a Philips head.

316 stainless is what I changed out in my UPZ boots to secure Intec heels for strength & corrosion resistance.
"Stainless steel 316 grade is highly used for high-temperature applications. This grade has high strength as it includes high nickel chemical composition. The grade consists of a minimum of 10% nickel content, whereas 18/8 (304) consists of only 8% of nickel content. 316 is stronger and more durable than 304."

If you also change out the phillip head screws to hex head, be careful not to over torque. Not a bad idea to use a loc-tite type product or teflon tape on the threads to help secure.

Rossignal World Cups were fun, the 184 was my fav along with 4 others riding in Aspen earlier this century.

Dang! Couldn't get that one to open Pat
Was removed from FB. One skier fell as soon as standing up while the other sat and went around the bull wheel and was ejected. Absent to my eyes were any safety shut offs (trip line/electronic eye) as the wheel kept a turning.
I deleted the dead link.

Solitude or Brighton (same Canyon) before Snowbird.

If you have a vehicle, Snowbasin can be good if not windy.
Really liked Powder Mountain too.

My guess is some of the upper mechanisms on a few chairs were froze and could not release from the cable triggering a safety (circuit breaker) shut off.

Barry, might need to consider step-in binding interface. I’m a size 27 and found I had to move the toe and heel blocks inward to accept UPZ RC10 & RC12 on my TD-3 step-ins compared to Deeluxe. Became a PITA if I wanted to adjust angles as I had to loosen toe and heel blocks to get access to the center mounting bolt heads. Added a few sets of F2 bindings to resolve the access issue.
