  5. Plastic stock insoles should be kept or removed?

    @Hug Masso I have been off the pain pills for over 3 weeks.  I really do not like how they make me feel at all.  They were mandatory to get any sleep for the first 3 weeks.  Ribs are knitting up but still noticeable.  Jogging or bouncing around both the shoulder and ribs ask me kindly to stop.  But I want to get back to both bouncing and jogging so I keep checking.

    You can see a thin layer of boot fitter foam I stuck in there.  Just helps with my heel hold down.

    Did your 425 Pro fitted perfectly out of the box?

    I have really normal feet and using the directions from the alpine carving site, I have been very happy with deluxe boots and stock themo liners.  I do spray the liners on the outside with a 3M spray adhesive and let them dry before putting them in shells.  This added little bit of rubbery texture prevents the liner from sliding in shell. Sometimes I use a bit of adhesive boot fitters foam to help hold my heel down. I can send you some pictures in a few days if you are curious.

    So you have been riding a steep Zinal groomer all morning (the one you see in all of the Swoard videos).  You stop and have a great pizza, soda and lots of water, ready to finish the afternoon!

    You ride the longest poma lift you have ever been on, it even has a 30 degree turn in it. Take a cat track around the mountain to get back to the same black diamond groomer you have been riding all morning. Only your 10+ friends you have been riding with all morning at the top of the run.  Carver B. and Chester F. drop in and get about 1/2 way down, I look around, no one else is dropping in, I get nods and drop in.  I am not worried about getting hit from behind at all.  Only our group at top of hill, very little traffic on that run all morning, so I am not doing my usual look up hill frequently (it was only our group I saw we I dropped in).  Next thing I know Paul K is over the top. of me, I am very broken up feeling and wondering what the heck happened.  

    I later hear that after I was about 10 turns in, a random skier that lacked skills but had tons of confidence, came past our group and started straight lining down the hill and collided with me.  

    I had just transition from a toe side turn to a heel side when the collision happened.  I shot off to the right side of the run into the un-groomed, and the skier slid to the bottom of the slope.  Ski patrol responded to both of us, got us packaged up and separately loaded into two waiting rescue helicopters.  I spent the next 24 hours in a Swiss Hospital.  

    9 broken ribs, multiple fractures of my right scapula and minor head trauma with loss of consciousness for 5-10 minutes.  I am a little over 5 weeks from the incident and the ribs have finally quit being horrible, my shoulder is healing nicely and no head issues.  It feels like I should have no long term repercussions.

    I am very fortunate to have been wearing a high quality helmet, to have been surrounded by such amazing friends and experienced high quality Swiss care. 

    Check your 6 even when you are 100% confident that no one is a threat behind you.

    @Ster if you are wanting a damp riding board ( easy on the legs and absorbs irregularities in snow conditions). From what you have told us about your riding, I would recommend getting the Donek Flux w/Secret construction 169 and the 11-12.5scr  would be my advice.
