Agree
if one wasn’t aware and looking, could have skied right past
questions:
1. In rescue pack is there a fairly stiff flexible hose that could be pushed down to face area to provide air?
2. What is the accepted practice when this happens to you? Rescuer kept saying don’t move for what one might assume are reasons related to snow filling around head but if one doesn’t how can one draw attention to oneself. A safety buddy system is great if it works.
I have seldom come close to being hit in the back by a skier but of late i fear soft boot snowboarders bombing a line barely in control. 2 have flown past me unexpectedly in the last month.
Was at Mt Wachusett today, first day time ride for me this season. Was more than shocked to see at least 15 different softbooters all working at getting their boards on edge, exactly as I started.
Waiting for my daughter to buckle in skier comes over: “Great trenches!”
Me: “Most skiers don’t seem to like them?”
“No - it’s great to see a carver out here”
That was unexpected.
Perhaps we could hold stock that can be delivered at shipping cost
As kids grow out of current set they donate and replace
i would put my 10 year old into hardboots to try but it’s easier to have her start carving with soft boots on a suitable board, but even this only lasts 1 year or more befor she outgrows it
I have just received an almost new pair of Intuition liners from Shred Gruumer. Putting them on cold my left foot fits snugly but right foot is already pinching my toes.
I am 27.5 cm both feet and these are M28 liners.
Question: Once heated are the liner's likely to expand in the foot length? Less than half cm should suffice.
Not sure how helpful this will be: I bought my 10 year old daughter a precursor to the Soul Surf to start her carving transition. Delivered from China. Great graphics which everyone comments on and build quality looks good.
I received a 185 last fall
was about to ride it for the first time on Wednesday this week. Skated up to the lift only for it to shut down for lightning sightings! Had to leave before it was re-opened.
Carrying my 185 and 160 Coilers separately under my arms i passed an older ski instructor with 2 young students who asked, with a somewhat bemused expression, if i was going to ski on both?
.... ummmm ... yeah!
