The ultimate Ski and Equipment thread.

Hey everyone,

The plan of this thread will be for any and all to ask questions regarding all things ski & board related in hopes to glean some insight to today’s ski technology. Why a thread on equipment you might ask? Simply because it “HAS” happened.........

While enjoying an adult beverage at a local ski resort here in CA, my exact type of skis have been screwed to the wall as decoration........ yup, my antiquated skis are now museum pieces. My old Solomon ski boots(Darth Vader style) ones that have a rear entry, a single rear buckle with no bridge buckle and an air cell that locked over the top of the foot, which were extremely comfortable. All exposed rubber durned to black powder when I handled it.

So this leads me to begin my search for new gear for the rest of this season and forward. I was shocked to realize the evolution of ski technology along with where boots have gone as well. Talk about feeling like starting from scratch......

I found this video of boot fitting and was wondering if this is accurate for those with a lot of ski experience?

So let the advise start rolling in.

Cheers
