That all sounds like a lot of hassle. I just dump in the foot powder from the grocery store, works fine for me.

What are the differences that caused people to jump ship? What does the Roxa 130 have that the Ascendant does not have?

edit - to try to answer my question (nice review):...

I've ordered new liners, outsoles, and bottom buckles for my souls sisters. That should get me through the rest of this season. Like I said before, my boots can collapse when the temps warm up,...

bump! Anyone else have experience with the ascension? Maybe some knowledge of the difference between the two models - I am looking at the SC.

Ok, more good info, thank you. :)

Roxa sounds very interesting, but I can't get a form on those. I'm also kinda hooked on full tilt, both the tongue flex pattern with the cables and the intuition...

Only a boot guy would want to know these icky foot details! :D

Yes, I really have a duck foot, wide forefoot and narrow ankle/heel area. But my right foot does have a bone growth that need...

Hey that is good info, thanks! I do have a wide forefoot, like a duck.

What do you guys think about the Fulltilt Ascendent SC boot?

edit - while I'm here, what do you think about the Line Vision 118 ski?

Look at that deep blue sky! :)

Perfect spring skiing today. Still lovely chalkiness above treeline.

Just so beautiful! I have one pic from a chair, haven't posted a pic in a long time. Forgot how...

I figure it's good to...

Oh man, very sorry!

OMG now you guys are making me dream about Silverton. My prev days there were lifetime experiences, like learning to ski powder. It's been so long ago! I even bootpacked it one time and of course I...

Oh cool! Thanks! :)

By the way I'm stoked about the peoples going to ski this weekend, deep winter. Since I am taking a season off from ski school, it is such a pleasure not to stand around in a crowd in subzero in ski...

I'll ski with you if he won't! :D

Exactly!

Maybe Loveland doesn't have as much personnel on pro patrol to handle things the way that Breck and Copper do. I wonder how much blasting and cutting and whatnot that Monarch has,...

I don't know how it is at Loveland, but over this way there is serious wind load hard slab on three shear layers at least. There can also be sugar/rot at the bottom portion. In some places I can jump...

Copper was so nice! And more snow coming this week! Maybe I can even get on some fatter boards, hahaha. I'm on 107 right now.

So I wonder if it was anybody here that followed me (orange striped...

Yeah it sucks. But the Saturday situation is worse, I'm sure. edit - I just checked the website and there is parking available at Copper today, go get it! :D

After postholing around and skiing a...

Fingers crossed you are wrong on that!

This snow came in so nicely, high moisture content with low wind effects. I'd call it creamy. Maybe there is enough weight in it to step down into that...

I'd like to add that it is snowing FAT flakes here in Leadville right now. Just lovely!

I feel like the season is turning the corner, finally.

If you're going to Copper, you can ski with me. Otherwise we can compare notes here - I have my theory that I don't want to spout off until after the day... :)

Well that sounds very nice!

It was REALLY warm yesterday and no wind. Fun to ski and hike above treeline.

I'll ski Friday instead of Thursday like everybody else, we'll see how that goes.

How far over is chair one terrain open? Cat's? Under the chair?

Oh my fellow maggots I am disappointed. Got my hopes up for this storm cycle at Copper and checked the cam this morning to see another tiny inch. Sigh.

Skiing has been fun - nice terrain and even...

I've been thinking about this and I don't see why you couldn't take the free bus from Frisco, big parking lot behind Walmart. I think it is the official transportation center there, where greyhound...

gut, ty!

Dude I walked out to the other (south side) yesterday. And It was a very nice ski down between A lift and super bee terrain, lovely woods! Hopefully I can find my way again although it was really fun...

Is this the Copper thread?

I just haven't quite figured it out. There is a lot of grooming (nordic style) around a neighborhood between the tubing and the A lot. I skied/walked out once but ended up at the north end of the lot...

Happy for you! Sometimes I really miss that place and all the surrounding slack. I'll come over in the the springtime for sure.

About the chair one steeps, as I'm sure you know, that north aspect turns to sugar as they let it sit through the early season storms. We've had this convo over the years and I will always have my...

I am sad/disappointed nothing has changed. Plenty of other places to ski - maybe come back over there in April.

This conversation is pretty cool. I know you are nerding out on the deets, but

For the noobs, I would like to emphasize this, "what really matters is what I find at a particular place and time."...

Bwah! :D

I'll offer the counterpoint to the general consensus on Copper. Sierra chair is slated as "Expected" and I have found that one to be pretty fun early season.

That said, I'm probably...

Oh nice! I just got back from Winter Park, it was sad not to turn into the Jane side. And I was on groomers, working my skate muscles due to PSIA activities, so I have have that going for me...

:yourock:

You guys know there are places other than Loveland and A Basin to ski where there is more terrain open, nice terrain?

That sounds so great! :)

Nice pics!

Weihnachtspyramide! We do those also! German immigrant... :D

Hey that is really cool, actually on multiple levels, when you consider that some of how we perceive bump skiing is through freeze frames and then how to achieve them...

Haha, I just remembered I would use footloose to get across the finish line. I wonder how many bpm that is...

I think a perfect running beat for me is Aswad Shine, I'll try it out on the hill.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIw3BtSPHtI

I need to do some testing, but my initial guess is 150 bpm? Really not sure yet. I know that I can't run at some of the paces out there, like 180. I haven't been running to music since I got my dog...

So I am a total pleb on music, please don't hate.

I was training for the army apft and trying to run in a certain timeframe. So I learned about controlling your pace and having music at a certain...

I skied with him in LCC one time and took pics of him in deep powder. Unfortunately the pics fell down the external hard drive rabbit hole. Still feel bad about that...

Those that posted good...

Glad to see you had a good time. Sorry about your stepdad, best wishes for his health. You are SO LUCKY to have a skiing family. I'm not gonna get into it here but I have to fight for my turns, even...
