    Steamboat Jan 31 thru Feb 3, 2017

    Hey doods. I'll be in Steamboat Jan 31 - Feb 3 in case anyone's there and wants to make some turns. I usually bring lots of pow with me, trying to keep up that tradition. :)

    I weigh 175-185 depending on how many miles I'm putting in on the bike. :)

    Used to weigh 205 before I got back into cycling heavily. Then I dropped 28 lbs in 6 months, holy sh*t. All my pants were...

    That's good to hear. Not many boots stay buckled for me like that, unless they're very broken in. :)

  18. Tried the Salomon X-Pro 120 or 130 boots? Like 'em?

    I'm skiing a Rossi Alltrack boot shortly, also interested in the Salomon X-Pro 120 or 130. Might get a pair as well to switch off with and ultimately keep what I like best. Anyone ski the X-Pro boots...

    Well, I got fatter. My skis, I mean. Went with the QST 118 and Warden MNC binders. Figured, what the hell. Praying for pow. Lots and lots of pow.

    Thanks for all the suggestions and input, guys! :)

    How do you decide on sizing? I've tried 173, 180 and 188 in similar skis the past few seasons, and sort of landed on 180 as a good do-anything...

  23. Anyone test the Rossi Soul 7 HD against the Salomon QST 106?

    If anyone's tested these two skis against each other, I'd be grateful for your opinion comparing them.

    Deciding on one or the other as a 1SQ this year.

    Thanks,
