  1. My this winter helmet, jacket, it did not helped me, I got hit again about month ago. Second my new shirt for the rest of the season.
  2. Let’s face the reality. Carving is dying in America. I have been carving for over 30 years. If I see another harbooter at resort in these days it is almost miracle. Just for fun was is an average age members here? It would be also interesting. I am 64.
  3. Barry, about night ridding, I am not sure with my visiion. Just a single cloud over sun put me out of business immediately.
  4. Grooming at KW was no miracle either. End of the season is coming. They cut on staff significantly
  5. This one was new for me. It is Clip ON board.
  6. What next season? Go to Mammoth. It was very hot this weekend Kirkwood was good for just a couple hours, after lunch time to go home, but no people it was great. They closing next weekend. Another reason for Mammoth. Good you like your custom Donek. I found also board working best for my disability. I know people will be laughing 157 Kessler Alp.
  7. Last thing I care about. My set up. 1 Stand width and position on board. 2 Front foot angle. As I am using Bomber since it came on market I found when the bail straight section is parallel with the edge in spot where front binding is mounted it works the best for me. 3 Back foot angle. 4 Minimum over hang. 5 Boots will not be centered for sure.
  8. And there is always Mammoth
  9. Snow at Kirkwood yesterday. Absolutely perfect.
  10. I always like to hose empty slopes on ALL published videos. Just wonder how you guys do it? I probably can count on fingers of one hand how many times I experienced something like that.
  11. Insanity. Idiots are everywhere. Wish you speedy recovery. Luckily no brain trauma. You have some witnesses if it will be somehow useful in Switzerland. In my case nobody saw anything.
  12. I can’t do in this weather as I pretty much don’t see at any except sunny conditions so two weeks ago I got hit again at Kirkwood idiot just flew out of woods. I saw him in last moment and hit him with both fists as much as I could in chest to push him aside. I still fell but except to be sore for several days I survived. People are absolutely insane. This weekend another stormy weather so I will not even try to drive there, but on the other hand no idiot on ski will hit me. Not to good winter for me this season
  13. Very interesting topic and sentence above is extremely important. About 12 years ago I had my big toe on my left ( front) foot fused . ( put 2 screws in and make joint solid). I can’t put. Any pressure on it now as it was a little bit lifted during surgery to make walking easier. Since that time my toe side became horrible. I tried many boot fitters but no success, they just try to sell you new insoles but they have no really clue what to do. One guy actually admitted it. I have box of useless insoles. During cancer treatment gout started at right big toe. Bad one. I recently bought older UPZ 26.5 size and pain on right big toe is bad so I bought another older pair 27.0 to get some extra room. I am just waiting for delivery to try them. I probably will have to used two different sizes before I will make a final decision what size new boots will be. I was at 26.5 over 30 years. That big toe transfer about 40% of force if I remember correctly. Treat it with respect your turns depend on big guy.
  14. Nothing special, just standard production Kessler. I need any help on toe side. Shorter board : 157,checked smaller starting SR: 7 m clothoid on start, checked Metal board : checked Now just some nice weather on the hills to try it. Not all boards I have are working for me now on toe side with my new disability.
