Shadows

funny you say that jeff, i got alines in them already - $65 fitted at nestors. i have a super high arch and it collapses a TON. my arch is completely supported, it feels great. my problem is pressure points around the side ankle bones and lack of cushion/protection on the heel bone.. i havent had my boots on for a while so theyve healed up a little but my feet used to have blisters, corns, bruises etc. it hurts to put slippers on haha. these boot perform incredibly but just hurt my feet

summary: I'm going back to get my boots tweaked and/or possibly buy new boots. i feel like every season ive been on skis has been better then the last - but worse as well. locations have been gettin better obviously, tricks have been going ok every year. gettin better here and there. recently ive been coming to the conclusion that i can only progress to a certain point - and then all the new tricks and ideas stop flowing. had a 28.5 last season. got some money and this season got fitted to a 26.5. i can already feel a better connection and power transfer to my skis which is awesome - i also dont get nearly as much shin bang as i did last year. i can control the skis much better, but my foot feels like shit. i cant tweak my ankle/foot in the park without almost collapsing. cant work on grabs cause it hurts my foot, cant grip rails cause it hurts, cant sit on a chair very long cause it hurts, cant sit in a gondola very long cause it hurts etc... landing big switch any way other than perfect is asking to break my heel. theres a shit ton of pressure points.... the boot feels like im wrapped chain maille. i just want one season where my boots feel like plush sheep with kittens laying next to it on top of a shag rug with velvet tips. I ski some of the best parks in the world now but every time i go to the mountain i have no desire to slay shit cause i know if i try to push it, my feet will get so screwed up i wont be able to ski the next day. ive already been on a snowboard more this year then skis.

fo reeeel this weather blows. i came home for this........... HEAVY SNOW WILL DEVELOP MONDAY AFTERNOON... WHICH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON. TOTAL SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF ONE TO TWO FEET ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS... AND UP TO 3 FEET ACROSS THE EASTERN SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS...

it definitely hasnt been snowing everyday last week haha. we are supposed to be gettin some inches though. whos he staying with in frisco?

i just feel like if i were to move to whistler, pay rent, work two jobs, and try to ski it wouldnt work out at all. Its a SKI town. If you have to work all the time to ski one day a week, whats the point. cost of living is too much. it sucks even in summit county - finding a job (this late especially) is tough.

yea WTH?!?!?

same old story

whats he wearing? i didnt see him yesterday

i wouldnt say whistler is the best ski town. it would suck to try and live/work/and actually ski there. went to beaver creek for the first time the other day. that shit is insansley over yuppied. elevators/escelators to get up to the slopes. free cookies every day. waiters going around to every deck possible at the bases asking if you want something to drink. every single employee that works on mountain or in the village is hired as proffesional ass kissers. the terrain up there is awesome though.

a51 opened this weekend. still dope

what else is new

sorry, 34 inches

we just got two feet ps- loveland is reporting 44 inches

good luck buddy

i rode the bus with keith the other day. shit was wierd.

you suck at making TR's jeff. where are the pics? i dont want this to turn into dougs daily Blue journals

you got a legacy right? would you go lower and just sell the rack?

save it for mid season nick. unless you have to use it early season. not much around summit has more then two trails opened.

no pics/vid cause these kids are lame. yesterday.....

gettin on some real jumps tomorrow if they finished it. may be some pics to follow.

for real dude. the ski industry isnt as high class and professional as people think. it tries to be, but its still a ski bum culture for the most part - especially park related jobs. ryan owns a business, he was hired and ultimately not paid.

i wasnt going to sign in just to post this but i have nothing better to do... i have no idea why they wouldnt run the quad. more real testing i guess. yea it blows but what are you gonna do? and yea, its almost the middle of novemeber but that statement you made completely revoked any kind of legit rep you had as a transplant PA kid. definitely taking shit for granted eh? also, if you want to talk about pros please dont start with seth. im not about to drop names but keystone is pretty much a pro clinic everyday.

3 pics. nothing special. took it kind of easy cause i already fucked my back up haha. seth getting tricky. 5050 shifty 3 out, looking fly get low. this thing is fun as hell but the amount of speed you need for it is rediculous compared to how big the landing is. land flat er time. terrible at walls but whatever... early - came back in frontside ps - i didnt wear my dope ass green suit i know. edit to come shortly - filming most of the week from now on.

i dont see how people keep saying hes a dick. he runs a business and got screwed. whos the one being unproffessional?

i think the thin top sheet would be solved with round coping. although some stuff he makes he puts screws too close to the edge and it cracks. maybe if it was thicker it wouldnt break though. its not like his rails/boxes completely fall apart - theyre solid. then again, anyone can make a double barrel if they know how to weld.
