I need skis, boots and poles.
Way too many choices and my fault is brand loyalty. Atomic, Lange, Scott

..... My poles I found by a dumpster 15 years ago. ......
Why lol? I don’t know much about them.Peak by bode Miller lol
Come on, you know I can't be insulted. Also, in the summer you can pick up hot skis on the K access rd. A thread derailed, it's almost summer so...As a snowboarder I find this very funny. Not making fun of the poster here, its just that it seems there is an inverse correlation to the level of skier to the price they paid / or condition of their poles. Much like the time spent in lodges vs visits to ski resorts.
15 yo dumpster find might be the top of the chart. I don't know if you can beat that. Maybe an older dumpster find at MRG? Found after snowmelt at Alta?
Anyway, sorry to derail this very important thread.
I'll give report on them early next season. Ordered a pair of the Peak 88's by Bode for both my wife and I when they had their 2 pairs for $999 deal recently - and if either of us don't like them they will give us a full refunded if we return them by 12/31/2024.Why lol? I don’t know much about them.
I just said that because of his nameWhy lol? I don’t know much about them.
Are you sure the finish isn't like an Elan? That's the factory that makes themwife on the 88's and they can't stop talking about how great they are. Right up there finish and quality wise with say a Stockli or a Kastle....
Same factory, yes I knew that. Finish level from what I have scene 1st hand visually, as well as heard real world accounts of from my friends who skied there's probably 25-30 days this year, (and atleast the husbrand friend has a pair of Ripsticks in his quiver) is much above what the typical Elan is.Are you sure the finish isn't like an Elan? That's the factory that makes them
Have you gone back to the Wachusett shop and asked for an adjustment ?As someone who rarely buys new equipment, I need some advice here from folks who do so more often...
I think I need new boots before next year. I bought my current boots early in the 2017-18 season as my old boots (which were almost 15 years old) were starting to fall apart. My old boots NEVER caused me any discomfort and it was hard to part ways with them. I bought my current ones at the Wachusett shop, and they have always been really highly rated when helping with buying new equipment. That said, for the past 7 years I've been dealing with rather uncomfortable foot pain in these boots, particularly about 3-5 runs into a day. Most days I can go in and take them off for 5 mins, stretch my feet out, put them back on and things are okay for the rest of the day. If I ski many days in a row they usually don't hurt at all by day 3. If it's extremely cold outside, they can be painful all day and sometimes feel like they're literally squeezing my feet like there's a python wrapped around them.
I may be wrong, but I'm decently confident that they fit correctly. I never experience any numbness except on the coldest of days. So I'm not sure what could be causing it, and I'm not sure if there's anything that can really be done about it or if it's just a fact of life regarding skiing. A lot of people say ski boots are just naturally uncomfortable.
Was I just really lucky with my last set of boots that never caused any pain? Or is thing something that is fixable with a new pair of boots and if so can someone recommend a good place to get new ones fitted? Not that I don't trust Wachusett's shop but I feel like boots are the one thing I would be willing to travel to see a top notch bootfitter.
