"THE 08-09"

The waiting is almost to an end with "THE 08-09" approaching fast. FG aka Soligully and I have purchased plenty of new gear already with the anticipation of another great season. Snowboy just got new BD boots to help him on the uptrack without compromising performance on his line down. Brogan and I are driving out to Denver the 1st week in November for his move from Rockland and then I'm off to Salt Lake. Dr. Oakley and Larry will be riding Killington where they got a place for the season with a few others. FG will be visiting the Wasatch from mid-Jan thru March. Work Summers play Winters seems to be the common theme for our crew! Pray to the almighty ULLR.
Get ready to make turns and keep your tips up!

Black Diamond's AT/Freeride Boot

After reading the reviews of the Konflict and BB's I decided to steer from Full Tilt and go with BD. Now a slighter tougher choice, Factor or Method? After much debate (and the fact that REI didn't stock the Factor, only online) I decided the Method was the answer.... Plus they're toned down and not nearly as flashy as the Factor's. I'm hoping this was a good decision. My instinct was to go for the stiffer flex (Factor rated at 130 vs 110 of the Method) but in talking with the rep the choice was made.

These will definitely be better than the slippers I was rocking last year. So here are the new Methods (no pun intended... maybe) to keep my feet attached to my skis:


With a price tag of 1.5M I'm sticking to my motto: Save now Spend in Winter

14 days until opening day. Although it is still quite warm here... so not sure if that's gonna hold. Opening day was already pushed back until 10/10...
