Gunstock. F/T Ski Instructor. Trip to Lake Tahoe. Personal Goals are to get Children's Specialist 1 as it's a pre-requisite for PSIA2. May just take the test this year.
May the road rise to meet you, May the wind always be at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face.
Hope to get out once.

Monday Night Madness at Shawnee every chance I can get.
Small mountain but close and cheap.
Also to replace my Oakley jacket, and maybe get a helmet.
Hopefully land the old mctwist again.

Make the 2 hr drive to Flagstaff and try the Arizona Snowbowl. If it sucks (compared to Sugarloaf) I'm probably done with snowboarding for a while.

Did you grit your teeth and try to look like Clint Fuckin' Eastwood?
Or did you lisp it all hangfisted like a fuckin' flower?
Tremblant for New years, Big Sky in Feb, Utah in March, Taos probably for a weekend and I'm in a ski share at Killington for the first time this year. Should be a great winter!

I can resist everything but Pete's mom.
I was in your same boat for many years trying to force it a 130 stiffness boot and hating life. Went down to a 110 and couldn't be happier. Still plenty responsive but sooo much more comfortable on any surface that isn't perfectly smooth glass. And when you're not in constant pain, you ski better.
Wondering what flex is the boot you are using now. Thinking that you want stiffer so maybe go up 10/15 in stiffness. Go overboard and you might hate them. Just my 2 cents. Different manufacturers rate their boot flex differently. Myself I was using 115's all last year. Then in the spring I got a Killington pass and only did moguls so I took out my old boots and they were 100's. After 15 minutes I said what the heck was I thinking. I should have used these all year. But bear in mind I do a lot of riding carpets and standing in boots. This year I already bought a set of orange lower level Apex boots. I think comfort comes first. Performance second. "it ain't the arrow but the Indian"

The fact that all the manufacturers are slightly different is a problem. I'm in 130's now, but I think they are a little too wide for me. I have big feet and large calves, but, my feet are normal width for the size. My guess is that the 'boot fitter' just wanted to sell me a gimmick and the boots good enough in the store. So, not only do I have to run stiff boots but I over-tighten them to keep from moving around inside.
Boot shells can be stretched but never shrunk. I have bought a few pairs from Stan & Dan's in North Conway. I pack out the liners in a season.

Already have 5 days in, 30in plus already at elevation. Also have access to some pretty awesome terrain this year that for the most part remains untouched.
Just brought the whole family’s skis down to Skinner’s for tuning.
Skied around 20 times last year, mostly at Sunapee. Usually go up Tuesday night after hockey league, do any shoveling and maintenance required, and ski part of Weds and Thursday.
May try NASTAR again, never done better than Silver. My starts are glacial....
I'm heavy (270+), aggressive, big calves and wide feet with little to no arch. My bootfitter managed to get me comfortable in a pair of Atomic Redster Pro 130s with footbeds. I've never fit in a race boot before and I love the stability and control they offer. I bought mine at the end of a bad ski season so they were heavily discounted.

I will admit that walking around the lodge or up and down stairs is a little awkward with them.

We had a group at one time.
I'd be interested in doing this again if anyone is interested, but we have got like 2 days
I still love the smell of burnt racing fuel in the morning!
