    Alpine Boots

    Fwiw Harvey44, Garmont's Endorphin works well for me & my flippers...BUT have ground & stretched my HEAD S11s into a great fit. Agree about Nordica = a bunch of different lasts. Her problem-toe: Big, Sixth, or longer middle toe..? (..Hah!..this should pretty much eliminate the confusion...

    Is the East Coast season finished? (powder-wise, that is)

    ..;-)...You never know about Maine Springs...don't give up hope for the Loaf and maybe SR just yet. Temps are up & down and it really will be interesting to see how the next few days play out up here... Is too bad March has been what it's been... :roll:

    Is the East Coast season finished? (powder-wise, that is)

    RailingK, Although Geoff adequately described March, temps up here in central Maine(ie Sugarloaf) are still good...pp/lg being the norm. Always a good 10deg difference @mountain from downtown Kingfield....so just check Weather.com. Trails are north-facing...so sometimes gets cloaked from rain...

    It is too much for the day trips....but even if spending a couple days(lodge in Stratton(ME)..~7mi past/north of the Loaf)....THE key is to pass through Massachusetts early in the morning...~2-3am! Having to deal with Mass drivers(Mass to Portland(ME)) after 11am is what really adds onto the...

    New show casting for skiers...

    Will be interesting to watch/hear of backgrounds... ...But it doesn't sound like they're looking for the skiers who pushed the envelope in the challenging terrain decades ago.....more like corporate people who either paid for numerous lessons or had parents who paid for the lessons...and now've...

    BOYNE/USA BANS BLOGGER FROM PROPERTY

    The "They" sure sounds like lower-level personnel spouting off. Obviously were the ones coming up with the parochial shout-out style of confrontation with a fellow parochial hot-head.

    Don't know who ya' callin' "Old", but I'm a Loafer.. \:D/ ..;-);-) ...Saw the headline of the young girl on Spillway....sad. Much too sad to spend any time talking about the wanna-be Abbie Hoffmann and his personal war versus Boyne. Didn't read much into his little vendetta...so don't know...

    ...;-);-), I ramble a lot when not out in a snowstorm! Boots....AND Footbeds! Footbeds can work wonders, not only for your skiing...but for a snug-fitting boot, especially if your feet splay outward a bit when standing or are prone to rolling..or pronate/supinate. They'll help your skiing a...

    new and would like some equipment suggestions

    Hi...well here goes..opinion not to be taken as "etched in stone gospel"!;-), Start with boots. Go by foot volume..go for a really snug fit...the liners usually will pack out(ie expand) after a month(or often less) of wkend skiing. Best to do the shell-fit, where bootguy takes the liners out...
