Yes, I've always loved making fun of people who are different than me! It's the best! Who cares if people call me a bigot!
-
You guys are cracking me up!!!
SO SO FOHNNY!! -
OMYGAWD that is SO FUNNY!
Gay people getting together to go skiing! What will they think of next!

Both of which are what I would consider easily "over the line".

Sometimes it's over the line.
Not often, but sometimes. -
Yep, timeline is already past. Try to keep it clean and watch for the signs of infection.

Beck, it's a private website.
If you don't like it here, no one is making you stay.

Oh, that's what it is. No wonder everyone here is always chuckling about it!

I have some pretty bad artritis, and glucosamine has helped enough for me to continue taking it.

It's got to make a little bit of difference! Doesn't it? I think boots are the most important piece of ski gear, and the diff between noodly AT boots and big fat alpine boots has got to matter.
Or maybe not. I'll probably have to see for myself.

Well, be sure to let us know how it is. I'm assuming you already know how to ski.
I too am curious as to how the Freeride performs with an alpine boot.

Yesterday I had my first day on my brand spanking new AT setup. I took it up to Crystal to see what the whole magilla feels like for inbounds and to get used to it while I continue to learn snow safety stuff. I'm on an alpine ski with the Freerides and the Scarpa Lasers. Pretty bomber setup, on the way heavy side for a couple of reasons.
As a longtime alpine skier with a pretty solid arsenal of skills for inbounds off-piste, I was pretty blown away at how hard it was for me to ski on the AT stuff. Be warned, it is way different. Here are my thoughts: The bindings and the boots are easy to use, and the boots are incredibly comfortable. (except for the Thermofit problem, which I can resolve) The skis I bought (K2 T9X) are heavier than any AT ski on the market, but still quite a bit lighter and softer than my Solly XCream 9s, which are a pretty beefy ski that likes to be ridden hard and put away wet. The difference with the AT stuff is that it seems you kind of have to "ride" the ski, rather than throw it around like a regular alpine ski. The setup was way better on steeper and more natural snow than on hardpan of any sort. Slippery as cat snot on a wet silk scark on anything resembling ice, versus my alpine setup which slices, dices and GRABS. In the chopped-up stuff I had mixed results. It's really different gear, surprisingly so. I think I will force myself to ski on the AT stuff inbounds to get used to how the stuff works, but once I get it dialed in somewhat, I imagine not using it at the ski lift.
Hope this is helpful, I know there are a few people out there, like myself and Kaia, who might be interested in getting out in the BC and doing it for real instead of waiting in line with a bunch of other people to ride the chairlift and ski on the ice.
Now would someone tell me what the hell is jibbing?

Well, I didn't buy the boots from a shop, but I did pay to have them heated at Pro Ski. Once they are completely dry I'm going to take them over and have them redo it. I doubt they will charge me to refit, given I've already paid for the service once.
-
I have a brand-spankin' new pair of boots with Themofit liners. When I had them heated and fit at the ski shop, there was slight slippage of one of my orthotics, and the result of this is rather painful when skiing. I need to get the liner refit. Does anyone know if those liners can be reheated or not? I really hope I didn't ruin one of the liners.

There are several things being considered in this discussion. I'm just going to take on one for now.
Current thinking on conservative versus liberal includes (but is not limited to) the idea that the framers covered pretty much everything in the Constitution, and that the document should be taken at face value. I'd call this, as GWB does, "strict constructionism." This is in line with current and typical conservative thought with regard, at least, to the Constitution.
The other way of looking at it is to consider it a living document, and to work with it in changing modern times. This is (once again loosely) more in line with the liberal perspective.
If it seems as though I am painting with a big wide brush, it's because I am. But more or less, with regard to the Constitution, that's what I see.

Because if you are lazy like me, and it's freezing cold and usually raining at home, and don't have a garage to do the wax job, well, sometimes you pay for a hot wax.
Because NEW SKIS
don't come with wax already on them, and a cheapo machine wax will never ever do. -
I wouldn't worry about losing stitching with the bathtub method. The washer method, well, it would be harder on the pack.
Woolite is great stuff. I use it for my sleeping bags too, and it's what the IDFL down people think is best.

The fact that they are made by prison labor may be a contributing factor to their low cost.

Um. I think race may also play into this. See first post on the thread, as there was an actual young female soldier (who is black) who both shot at the enemy with an actual gun, and was captured, before getting uncaptured.
But she was only a black person, so apparently this doesn't count.

I scrub mine down with some soap and a big scrub brush in the tub.
I guess Dru's method would work if you took the stays and framesheet out, but the tub method just takes a few minutes.

No.
And the "C" word is NOT okay. Perhaps your kids don't mind when you call them that, but I'm a woman, it's been directed at me, and it is not okay.
End of discussion.
