Excellent condition pair of stiff soft boots. Looks like hardly half a season of riding in these. Never saw a muddy spring parking lot. Includes the original plastic inserts to add extra stiffness. Offering these up at friends-pricing here before a buy/sell Facebook group. $80 Denver pickup. Thanks, Alex Sorry mods for blowing up the buy/sell forum - maybe should have listed everything in a single post.

Some stiff soft-boot bindings with carbon highback. Nearly new condition w/ original hardware. $60 - Willing to make a deal if you want some of my other gear. Denver area pickup. Thanks, Alex

I know it’s a long shot but does anyone have some of these or spare parts laying around? thanks

Only you can answer these questions. It's personal preference. IMHO, Breck sucks. And monarch is in the middle of nowhere. Loveland is a gem. I could spend my whole year riding Challenger chair at MaryJane and be happy; because I live for trees and bumps (especially on my 192cm). T

Find comfortable boots (hard or soft.) And then ride the hell out of them. You'll find conditions they work well in, and conditions they don't work well in. You will never find one boot that works for everything. You can carve in softies and you can ride powder in HB's, but they are not optimal tools for those styles. The terrain and conditions you are riding out east will be nothing like riding out west. I love the feel and control of HBs, but who wants to ride groomers all day? I'm way more interested in exploring the whole mountain in search of powder and tree-runs. To each his own. What works for me 90% of the time out here (Colorado) are stiffer softies on long Tanker with Catek FR2's. Just get out here and ride a bunch (in something comfortable) and you'll figure it out. T

Never gotten anything but terrible service from falling rock. Best beer selection in Denver is currently a new place called Lucky Pie, a pizza spot on the 16th street mall in 1/2 of the old Dixons space. Great pies too.

I'm talking just about the (one set of) CD-sized metal baseplates, no other binding parts. These work with the OS2 or FR2 Catek bindings - NOT the older style that holds dimples. I'm retiring my last burton board and don't need my set of 3-hole plates. But if I can get my hands on a set of 4-hole I can piece together a make-shift 2nd board kit.... Baseplates only; I repeat no power-plates or suspension system, no mounting-hardware. Thanks T

I really like living in Denver / Golden. Being +/- an hour from some great riding, and all the amenities and 'culture' of a big city. It's great place to wrap your head around living in the west. And between my bike & bus to get around town and small network of riding buddies to get up to the hill - I don't even have to own / drive a car.The climate here is amazing; I logged over 100 bicycle commutes (in a row!!) to work last year alone (>10 miles one-way.)T

Maybe you could call the steakhouse on the phone and they'd tell you the recipe. Just ask to talk to the bartender.

What makes this a $650 jacket?

What kind of insurance are you talking about that pays out when you wreck someone else's knee on the slopes? Because I don't even have insurance that covers my knees on the slopes. T

If you hit someone hard enough to break their board, one or both people are not going to walk away from that accident. If a broken board was the only carnage after hitting someone that hard I'd consider myself lucky. Splitting the cost of a new board seems reasonable, but not necessary. Any board on the snow has been used. Just because someone jacked my board up doesn't entitle me to a glossy new board. How do you ask someone to pay for a $2500 virus they just broke? How do you put a value on a NOS board that's not made anymore? When you take you gear to the hill you assume the risk that it might not make it home in one piece. Materials could fail, you could hit a tree, you could hit a landing wrong, you could stuff the nose hard. What if you do any of these to avoid someone who is out of control, and subsequently break your own equipment? Should they pay because they were out of control even if they didnt hit you physically? Big bag of worms for sure.

In line on boots.

anybody?

I think that the yellow (soft) e-rings are even pretty stiff for soft-booting. It is not too soft.
