Session 1: consultation, bio-mechanical assessment, initial mold for custom foot beds. ~2 hours of 1-on-1 time (yesterday).
Session 2 I'll bring my new boots, and he'll start tearing them apart. He's got a bunch of stuff he's patented himself for modifying boots, 7+ sewing machines (for modifying liners). He'll finish up the foot beds and we'll see where my alignment is within the boot. Most likely I'll need canting and some lifts. He'll finish up the work and then I'll come back a third time for final tweaks and delivery
How did you decide on which new boots to get or was that part of the consultation?

Getting the little guy ready.
He was probably drooling with anticipation as you turned and walked back up the slope!

Mother Nature can be a bitch.
Here's to hoping she's a real bad one this winter...

Found a nice big crack in boot shell, looks like I'll be in the market as well.
Any good recommendations beyond Buckman's in Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas?
Just looking for alternatives that carry other/different brands to check out.

...damn hot. Hot enough to melt your shorts.

The one girl I know even has a YOLO tattoo on her inner lip and her nipples are pierced..in the words of Paris Hilton, that's hot!!!
Get/Post a pic of the YOLO tattoo. Brother-in-law is crazy for YOLO shit, he'd get a kick out of it!
Southern Tier Pumking is my favorite fall beverage.
Mmmmmm..... Pumking!
Some mix Pumking with ST Creme Brulee, wasn't to my liking. YMMV.

Love autumn! Colder temps, leaf colors, pumpkin beer, thoughts of skiing...

Need to set aside a few hours of time for ski boot shopping. Be prepared to spend a good chunk of the day for this endeavor.
Try on lots of boots and leave them on for a while, walk around the shop in them.
Don't just try on a boot, oh that feels all right, take off and leave. Pressure points take a bit of time to develop into pain.
Try to flex the boots. Know what type of skier you are and what flex you might be in search of.
Don't buy the name, buy the boot that fits you!
Who cares if it's Lange, Nordica, whatever, just because some big name skier wears them, doesn't mean they're gonna work for you, it's what fits you that matters
Try to find a dealer with a LARGE selection of boots, the more boots they have the better your chance of finding a well-fitting boot.

No lots on the side of the road there just the large main lot. Side of the road is all woods.
Yeah, looks like entire park will be between Blue Mountain Drive and existing ski parking lots on north side of access road.
-
Wish they would rearrange the traffic flow to prevent people from driving in the exit way, which screws up the one-way flow.
Yeah I know, "park at the base lodge instead", but I have reasons to have to park at the summit lodge.

Do any of you think Blue mountains location is a little chilly for a waterpark? High temperatures are often in the 70s along the Appalachian trail.
With the winters we've had lately, who needs summer?

At a demo last year these were around and I didn't try them but others did and didn't have good things to say. If you had knee issues and were super smooth they would probably work but for the general populace they just don't hold you in enough.
LOL That one is on me, I'm certainly opinionated but really I just love to stir the pot a bit, it gets boring around here if everyone just loves each other and wants to give hugs.
Actually saw a SP with them one day at Blue. I asked him how they were working for him and he said he hadn't had a release either way (forced/premature) as of yet, so he couldn't tell.
There's a few threads over on EpicSki about them. Seems everyone thinks they're a gimmic.
Like pro racers, they'd rather have the DINs torqued to the max than suffer a premature release. But is this a good thing for the weekend warrior, typically not going full-tilt downhill?

I'm more likely to say something really weird to a random person I ride the lift with...actually that holds true with most anybody.
I enjoy yapping to people on the lift as well, makes the ride go just a little bit faster, especially the doubles.
It's fun hearing about where people drive from and just how long it takes to get to Blue.

Green with envy...

I wasn't allowed to ski as a teenager: "You'll break your leg kid!", was the response I got...
In college, a few guys took me out to Little Gap and pointed me at Burma and said just plow your way down, you'll be fine!
Thus began the addiction.
Fortunately Sunday evening sessions were like $18 and virtually empty and with afternoon grooming, conditions were good.
Once I got a good paying job, season passes for $250 were within reach.
