  1. Shaped is definately the way to go, I did check my 13 yr old daughters settings - she is the same size and a conservative int skier and they are shop set at 5 (they are atomic bindings with a range from 3-10) Good Luck!
  2. I'm hoping to get up there again around 6-6:30
  3. Good time and GOOD TIMES. I know where I'll be Thursday nights, trying close that gap! Definately liking the all mountain experience - from gates to the booters and everything in between! Who went faster?
  4. I really do want to see him him do well. Last year and at the beginning of the season he was the greatest thing since sliced bread (or the Mahre Bros any way) and it seems like he (not the media or nike or anyone else) is turning himself into toast quickly...
  5. What did he think they were going to do with that tidbit - they're job is to sell commercial spots with "news"? He should of known that going in - he could have spun it any way he wanted ("I f'd up and kids don't try this at home") or just say F it, I ams what I ams, but don't whine about the media now. I think he'd be better off laying low with the media for awhile and let his skiing do the talking..
  6. I'll bet he would get some boos (not booze) if he did, then after the game said he might do it again!
  7. Hey skiing and drinking are two of my favorite past times, but they definately don't go well together, especially at his level. I read Bode's book and was a little dissapointed as I did'nt come away with a whole lot of insight. I'm comparing it to Lances book where I was amazed and inspired. I think the the whole nike campaign of bodeist philosophy is more hooey than substance and I liked him alot better last year - I knew less and he skied better! Do we have a smiley for jack@ss?
  8. Any news from Tangledupinblueswood? They had a primo day!
  9. I needed to work on my turns. Oh yeah... I hear ya! Had a great time any way, something to build on! Great meeting and skiing with you guys, look forward to next time!
  10. Anybody else running in the shadows besides the MAIN EVENT? I hope theres someone beside me in the old fat guy division. Any body know if there will be two courses for head to head racing or single against the clock?
  11. Atomic did you race NASTAR last year? I was looking at 04-05 results to see if I should bet a light beer or an import and didn't see anything posted?
  12. Nah I was thinking about it - it looks soo cool - but last year a pretty good racer landed short on the step-up and cracked a vertebrae - I'm too old to abuse my body like that anymore - just a spectator
  13. I'm gonna try to make it up (doubt I'll give you too mcuh competition tho) If any body missed the mens downhill at bormio yesterday on OLN its quite a show with Rhalves win and some nailbiting finishes/DNFs I think they rebroadcast today at 5. Also I know there are a few other mtn bike entusiasts out there - this Saturday at Blue is snowcross - its pretty wild to watch - you can check out the video on blues site
  14. My big issue was ventilation, I need to keep cool as much as i need to be warm. the Giro fuse seemed to have the most vents that can be opened/closed easliy and its really light, also the ear flaps come off easily
  15. Cool, Blue is supposed to start up 1/5 - It'll be fun to go back & forth & compare courses!
  16. Happy first day of Winter to All!!! Hope to hook up for a few runs with evryone this season!
  17. I had some looooong RD's like those in the background - 215 Coyotes !
  18. If you miss Sunday they play it again Monday at 5pm - at least they did last week, Nice Recap Ski999!

    Opening?

    Blue is definately kid friendly- explorers is great and no hassles, 6 & underjust go right thru the ticket check! I'm bummed my youngest turned 7 but now he can do some group lessons to increase his control
  20. My head skis came with the SL-100's also, I planned to change them out but they have performed and held up very well and are still on the skis - with riser plates though. You can add them aftermarket when you get them mounted if you want
  21. aright jib, now were talkin music! Next time your up in VT check out named by strangers
  22. If Papa goes for so will I! I figure weve got to be around the same age...back in the day when a 360 was a helicopter! Oh yeah and we had spread eagles and the dubious daffy \ / !
