    Mach 1 130 question

    Ok so my ski buddy just won a pair of Mach 1's and I'm (we're) trying to get a definitive answer on if the shells can be heat molded if needed? So far everything I have researched is inconclusive so maybe you guys can give a solid answer

    ID on “all black” Nordica Promachine 120 version?

    This is a bit of a random question because I’m curious. I was able to get a new pair of Promachine 120s at Footloose in Mammoth a couple weeks before everything shut down. When I got back home and was putting them away, I realized that my PM120s weren’t the “normal” green color I’d seen online...

    Fischer Ranger Free 120 - Shell customizable?

    Looking at getting the Fischer Ranger Free 120 for sidecountry laps. Fit is "almost" good but looks like I'll need a punch out at the side of my big toe and maybe on the outside of the heel. Does the Grilamid shell support this? I can't seem to find any info on it online. Also, if anybody is...

    Boots and ski width and race performance

    Howdy, all. I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone who is more gear-savvy can answer. I've been running NASTAR at Sunapee this season. Been having a good time, and seeing some progress. Dropped from a mid-40s handicap to (very) high 20s so far, and would love to see if I can't get...

    Boots...50/50 vs Traditional

    Time to up my boot game. I’ve outpaced my Salomon QST Pro 120’s. Want to move to a stiffer boot and tighter fit. Scanned out at a 29.5 for performance fit. Shell fit is about a finger and a half, slightly less on both brands. Trying to determine if I get a 50/50 boot or a traditional. I...

    Atomic Waymaker

    I’ve been using the Atomic Waymaker the past 2 years. The boot fits well and the addition of the BD foam liner last fall provided a solid feel. But due to a recent knee injury the PT suggested I look into something 130+ flex. Seeing as the Waymaker isn’t made anymore I’m looking at other Atomic...

    Me: quite a good skier but hot and cold. I ski on the Head ti Titan Super Speed (short) 170. It's a great ski for me but I would say it is at top end of my physical capacity. I am 65 and have had troubles with conditioning and fatigue. But I like to crank turns... been skiing forever. For a...

    What is MONDO exactly

    The internet had served me nothing conclusive. Mondo sizing using a boot that is marked as 26.5 as an example. Does this mean the boots longest inside length is 26.5 centimeters from toe to heel without the liner? So with a liner, the boot could end up being less than 26.5 centimeters? Also how...

    New skier, lessons, and have skied about 10 days now. Still obviously working on technique, but have noticed that my ankles especially my right ankle is quite sore (clicking at times when I walk) and I probably need to get it looked at but... Besides technique could I be in the wrong boot flex...
