Let It Snow!!!! Winter Sports Thread

most shops should offer you a complimentary boot fitting. they can create heel support, extra padding, cants, punch outs etc. a good boot fitter should be able to look at you standing in front of them with shorts on, and tell you any lower body injuries that you have had, as it will be obvious in your posture. your boots should be beyond comfortable, any minor pain or annoyance can be fixed. you definitely owe it to yourself to get your boots fitted.
around here on a good powder day the smallest waist width youll see anyone on is 115. d666's recommendation is a very good one.

also looked into the dalbello panterra but unfortunately they were out of my size…so went with the Nordica Hell and Back H3 100!
the guy in retail said that the toes should touch the front of the shoe when standing up straight. now if you bend your knees, the foot tends to slight back and the room in the toes is getting more and more, so they have to be a tad thight at first, no?! -
The hell and back is a great boot, and it sounds like your basic fit is good. if you find that you have anything that bothers you comfort wise in your feet after you wear them skiing a few times, don't hesitate to go tell the shop. For example, if the boot were to feel a bit too tight around your big toe, they could definitely make it bigger there, thus making your boots much more comfortable

CNN news…..... Man gets caught in avalanche in gunnison valley snowmobiling (aka crested butte area, and some of the most unruly weather in the US). Dude could have easily died. Fist thing out of his mouth..... I think ill take an avy 1 course now.....uhhhh..... Dude, I live in ohio, and I've taken avy classes. If your going to be in the back country driving 700 pound sleds around, It would be wise of you to know what you are Doing!!!! This is why people die in avalanches. Because they are stupid!!!!!
