First Gear Purchase for 2012/2013 Season


Ride Delaware ?

Recommended Posts

I decided to put this off until a little later this year, but as we quickly approach labor day, I figured I would finally get things started.

 

I decided I would like something a little more fun and flexible on the mountain, and after trying out a friend's older model, I decided to pull the trigger and snagged a 2011/2012 K2 Fastplant off eBay brand new for about 50% off.

 

I also snagged a SmartWool Lightweight Base Layer.

 

I am still looking at bindings, but I am considering something quick and different like a pair of Flows. I'll decide on that a little bit later.

 

Lets hear what you've got...

New skis are on the way - Moment Bibby Pros. I pro-formed them at the end of the season, and they are finally in stock. I may get some new boots, too. My Full Tilts didn't hold hold my heels in very well, and there wasn't enough room in them for my orthotics. A different liner or heat molding the old ones again might do the trick though.

 

Flow makes some pretty good bindings, but don't go cheap on them. The lower end of the scale has real durability problems.

J Law you're lucky you get free swag. I haven't bought anything except boots in three years and I'm badly in need of gear. I actually am taking a break from drinking right now and the money I save at the bars will finance a lot of gear. At karaoke night I spent $2 instead of $30 lol

 

What do you need ?
