Let's go skiing!

not really winter, but snow in the swiss alps near Davos.............

Oh, those K2s with the orange stripes on the side! Had 'em in 135s. Carved up a lot of southern Wisconsin hills from '77-'80. And groomed a lot of the same hills with my butt, too. Plus Southern Comfort on the chair lifts. Thanks for the memories...
 
A big difference between my old Volkl Rentiger 210"s against my modern Dynostar 165's
This is a pair of of Tigers from I believe 1971. They were built in the race shop. 220 cm, no serial numbers. Supposedly they are veterans of the feared Streif downhill course at the Hahnenkamm race at Kitzbuhel. Unfortunately, they were stored on a dirt floor for some years so there is damage to the tails. Not going to throw them away, though!

Yep. I thought I was hot stuff when I bought Dynastars with Tyrollia bindings and Lange boots in the mid 80’s.
How about the heated Lange boots? Plug them in overnight. I remember I had a pair of those at one point. They actually worked too good. I think I could turn them on and off though, it's been a while. My feet were roasting most of the time. Like heated seats in a car, I rarely use that feature.
 
I can't wait to get my boards on. Here is what Ski says about Telluride ranked #7 on their list. Oh, and we got 11" last week My condo is sitting empty and waiting for us.

"More raw character, local charm and natural beauty than any other resort"
