It's take your bindings off of your board and put them onto the demo board... Or bring your own extra set... It actually makes it easier because your own binding will fit your boot...

Good call on the pipe insulation. Heading over to our local home depot to get some soon... Also, the to runs to the right and left of the lift looking up the mountain are scary as sh*t, so don't make those your first runs of the first day... (Sundance Bown, Near South, Lower Mambo)... Wait still the carving clinic for steeps before attempting... And yes, watch out for the lift chairs. The pole is in the center. Make sure you are off to either side of the pole, or you will get whacked in the backside... Also, impact pads for hip and tailbone, and knee pads are helpful... Make sure you have 4x4 and good snow tires. The turn front the main road to the road that goes up to Turner Mountain can get slippy...

Just buy modern stuff too. It will just work better... Cheers, Tim

I ready... Left ankle is healed and ready to try playing in the snow again...Bruce is shipping me one of my boards on Monday... He's working on a super wide softboot board, but that might not make it with me to MCC... Everything is booked and reserved... Just trying to stay healthy and COVID-Free...

Also heading to Schweitzer on the way back to Spokane on Friday... (Assuming my legs can handle 5 days straight of carving)... No days yet on snow as pretty crappy conditions in NY and Southern VT...

I am open to go to Whitefish on Sunday, 1/30, and Schweitzer on Friday, 2/4...

Just booked my flights with Delta... Flying in and out of Spokane, WA. Arriving around 1:00pm on Saturday, Jan 29, and departing Saturday, Feb 5th around 2:00pm. Will keep you posted on further details... Would like to go to Schweitzer before or after MCC as I didn't get to go last time... Depending on how my legs are, I can consider going to Whitefish... Cheers!

Hi All, Just registered for MCC 2022... Baby steps... In early stages of planning... Will be flying in from NYC. MCC 2020, flew into Spokane, WA... Not sure If I will do Spokane this time, or maybe Kalispell. I will probably be booking a single room in town, but will be happy to explore vehicle sharing if arriving and departing from same airport on same dates/times. Cheers, Tim

On hold. I am no longer in CA and back in NYC. I am currently unable to ship, and will update when I will be able to again. Hi All, I have a Burton Asymmetrical PJ 6.2 M-Series, regular stance. I saw from this forum that this is probably from 1992... Board is in excellent condition. Base has no major dings or gouges. Top sheet is also in excellent condition. This board is located in zip code: 95616. I will be there from 9/16/2021 to 9/25/2021 and will be able to ship during these dates. I will also be able to give more detailed description of it's condition while I'm there. Since this is vintage, and will probably just be more for collecting, rather than riding, I'll just ask for Best Offer + Shipping. Cheers, Tim

I actually preferred crutches, or hopping around on the good leg... The learning curve was high, and fortunately I could WFH so I didn't need to get around too much during my recovery...

Hi All, Long time no see/hear/post... Hope all of you are well. Anyway, I have an iWalk Free - iWalk 2.0 that I am no longer using. I was given this by someone I met at the doctor's office who didn't need it anymore during my recovery from a lateral process fracture to the left ankle in March of 2021. You can find out more info from their website: https://iwalk-free.com/ I won't post pics unless anybody wants them. It is black and red. It is in good working order, and I have the original box. I only used it once. It wasn't for me. I hope nobody here will need it, but I figure I would offer it up and pass it forward, free. Just cover the shipping from zip: 10025. Looking forward to a good 2021/2022 season. Cheers, Tim

Thanks! Probably should have ridden hard boots instead today due to the icy conditions... I’m out 4-6 weeks... Will need to see an orthopedic doctor next week when I get home to see if there is additional soft tissue damage... The doctors at Mt Snow were very good and X-Rayed the ankle, put me in a boot and crutches... 2 small fractures, so not terrible... I’m actually not mad about it for some reason... And fortunately nothing else is injured... And yes the boot may actually work in soft binding, but I’m totally not going to test it out at this point...

I’m out... Fractured left ankle in 2 places at Mount Snow, VT today on my first run... Had on soft boots... Super icy, and way too fast... Can’t even explain what happened... There was a bump, twist, and a pop... A fitting end to this season... Cheers! Tim

I will be there on 3/6-7... I usually don't prefer weekends, but I have a ride up this time... The hardboots are bugging my feet so I'll most likely be on softies...

I finally applied what Corey taught at MCC 2020... Bend your knees and squat down like you are taking a p**p... Angulation Carving East Coast ice... And I forgot how much easier and fun soft boots are... I could softboot all day, 9-4... With hardboots, I'm done after lunch...

Yep, too short...

Just do it! If I can pull off neon green boots, you can for sure pull off red boots! Fake it till you make it!!! Besides, red is a lucky color... And better to have boots that fit your feet in the wrong color, than boots that hurt in the right color...

I can recommend the UPZ XC-12... I have the UPZ RC-11's and have changed the stock springs to the Free-flex springs. These springs have made the boot much more comfortable... Do not go for a stiffer boot unless you are already a professional racer with access to perfect snow...

Hey All, Just putting it out there... I'm planning to be at Gore Mountain on Feb 24 & 25th... Let me know if any of you can make it out there... Tim

A little of it was money ($100.00 USD less), then I wanted the "moss" color (vanity), and I wanted the stiffer nylon high backs (performance), and I was able to get them from a smaller shop (shop small) in OH with free shipping, to arrive this coming week... Something like that...

@dredman Is there proof of you on that skwal in a onesie either in photo or video form??? If so, I, and I'm sure a bunch of others here would like to see it... ;oP

I've just ordered a pair of the A-8 bindings today... They should be arriving next week, and will be able to test them out in about 2 weeks... I'll keep you posted...

I did it... I don't recommend it. The UPZ boots are too soft for skiing, and flex the wrong way... I ended up just buying a pair of real ski boots...

Hey Pat! Nice to see you riding. Probably won't get to come to VT this season due to Covid restrictions... Pat's a lot of fun to ride with. He's stupid fast! Tim

No worries... I would definitely try to go soon as they just got snow... Hunter Mountain got 20" of fresh powder last night... My friend went today, and said it was thigh deep powder... Great conditions, but long lines...
