jcaple Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Between getting on and off lifts, I tend to get a serious build up of ice on the soles of my boot, any "environmentally" friendly substance i can use that will limit the amount of ice build up ? Thanks Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I have been experimenting with spray on Plasti-Dip, not very environmentally friendly. It's probably best to get a big stomp pad with spikes and stomp the ice off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUD Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Get one of these. It is made by Dakine. They really can get the crap off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Indeed just use a good stomppad and your problem will be solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrutton Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Where do you buy that thing? I was looking for one at my local store, and no dice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 They have a store locator on their website: http://www.dakine.com/locator.php?action=searchStreet&country=US&street=&within=&submit=Search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ardski Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 +3, best stomp pad ever made:biggthump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjvircks Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I love that stomp pad... but it causes trouble when I travel by air because of the way I like to pack my boards. Try attaching it with velcro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I seriously believe that Alpine Snowboarding saved that stomp pad from extinction. A few years back they became really hard to find. Many shops said they were discontinued. I believe some calls were made. When they started to resurface I think they saw a spike in sales (sorry, just had to) , I know I bought them by the dozen. Recently snowboard buyers think it funny when I ask "Do you want the stomp pad? , If you don't care, I AM KEEPING IT" Going rate is 10$ Time to stock up again. Used up my last DOZEN. 10$ each free shipping over 25$, buy three for 30$ Daddies in Portland, Oregon PS. They have really held up very good over the years until recently. I think the Fin Tec heel can cut through the plastic, either that or they are making them cheaper now? That red plastic on the Fin Tecs is pretty gnarly stuff!!

colintkemp Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Why not just scrap the bottom of the boot along the binding? (Did I just make clear that I ride on the West Coast, where cold is 20 degrees...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grock5 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I just got a bunch at REI, if you have a store locally or online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I just got a bunch at REI, if you have a store locally or online. Will do, they (along with most other stores online) show them "Out of stock". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply, because it works better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on, Brian, we're your sense of sport! (Joke.) I'm not trying to start a war, but I suspect you don't want me whacking my Stratos on my TD2s or OS2s...

John Gilmour Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 f4 wax rub on on your heels... it ends up in the snow anyhow if you used it on your base. Just rub it in the cracks not on the surface or it is slippery to walk on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Get one of these. It is made by Dakine. They really can get the crap off. Walked into my local ski shop the other day and they had 6 of these on the rack...or at least they did ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhD Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Those are really functional pads. THe spikes are hollow and hardboots will bust the points off after awhile, but they still work OK. Just don't be too disappointed - they are lighter after all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I don't remember that happening in the past? I need to do a comparison and see if that is why that happens now?
