I haven't been on my skis since 1989. I'd be interested in trying it again some weekend. This will be my first winter in the Rockies.

Somehow tearing an ACL during a crash doesn't sound too bad now. What DIN setting did you use on your nails?

Where's the rest of the female contingent? I ski blues, mostly, not fond of Loveland because the runs are short. Not too fond of Winter Park - everything else works!

A "tune-up" will give you a wax and edge grind to get the edges sharp again. Its definitely worth it to do at the beginning of every season at minimum.

If you have big gouges taken out of the bottom, you will need a P-Tex filler put in and sanded down, which runs extra most of the time.

New ride board with Flow quick release bindings. The bindings are pretty cool because they allow you to slide your foot in and out from the back rather then ratcheting the straps up front.
