  1. How long have all of you run your shells before the finally give up the ghost?  I'm on year 13 with my Suzukas, after 3-4 liners and 2-3 heels as those pieces wear out, but I spent a lot of time/money getting the shell fit right, which I am happy with now.  I've been through two sets of Zipfit liners so far lately, which work well but last perhaps 3-4 years tops at 25-40 days a season.

     

    I'm thinking of investing in foam-injected Conformables or Surefoot liners, but am slightly worried about overall shell life.  I don't want to drop half a grand plus on custom liners then have my boots crack on me.  They physically look a little beat, but no noticeable cracks or stress marks that I can tell.

  2. I tried to order but was told to wait until next season.  Any chance we can get a demo out west in the mean time?  Mammoth will be open for another 2-3 months hopefully, and we definitely have what us wimpy west coaster call ice in the early AM.

  3. pokkis can confirm, but the snow stix mounting appears to be asymmetric for regular foot.  And yes the stix are there to allow you to stiffen things up a corner at a time as you'd like.

  4. Okay, I'll give them a look.  We're thinking about this coming Sunday 3/20 for a cat or heli.  I'll probably have to rent a powder board if it is deep out there.

     

     

    Question, but kind of unrelated to alpine boarding, where do you guys recommend demoing a good pair of carving skis?  I am bringing ski boots along and will probably ski a day or two will out there as well to switch things up.
