    A co-worker went to Winter Park on Saturday. He left home at 6:30 and didn't get to the parking lot until 11AM. He had limited time so he took 1 run and headed home. Yuk!

    Sounds like he got to the parking lot at 6:30…

    Rhetorical question, what is the point of pointing it? 

    Bruh, less turns means more runs, more vertical, higher average speed. It's right there on my phone. Which I can brag about later to my other bruhs, bruh.

    but that will be easy to sort out.  

    Sadly, none of this may be easy to sort out with those big treads of yours. There's some nuance to the boot/binding/riser interface that gets trickier with bigger feet. Flow/Nidecker make a nice binding but the XL size has greatly increased width (yes, strange, I know) over the L, creating a large amount of movement between boot (the few I've tried) and binding. Going with an L renders the easy in/out design useless. Now O-drives and Ride El Hefes (now A-10s) are nice options, but don't mate well with Bomber Power Plates because they exceed the footprint of the plate itself. Other risers may be different. The point is that you may need to try a few combos that you didn't expect.

    +1 on @dhamann's Thraxis recommendation.

    With soft boots getting stiffer and stiffer for carving on stiffer boards, pretty soon someone will invent softboots with a plastic outer shell that just snaps over your foot, has an adjustable flex and doesn't need an exoskeleton binding and...

    ...nevermind...😉

    And risk mockery at the hands of our unquestioned leaders like AngrySnowboader? Not a chance…

    Aside from energy, name one other industry the takes a resource WITHOUT cultivating or returning something BACK to sustain and perpetuate that resource.  

    Ah, well, factory farming is pretty hard on things (James Rebank’s English Pastoral is a great book). Mining is a bit brutish. Giant loafs of salty meat are maybe not totally sustainable…

    Like he said total hip replacement may be the correct treatment but a Xray would tell the tail and, in some cases, stem cell treatment can solve the issue. 

    So can a liberal application of freshly butchered chicken blood and muttering very specific incantations, but you'll need the Xray to confirm.

    So what happens when you crash, take a handlebar to the balls, and then watch in pain as that thing sails down the hill to wipe out some innocents?

    I'm pretty sure the liability fine print on the back of lift tickets and plastered all over ski areas is rooted in the legal principle that "no one is innocent."
