I have a set of comformables in my boots. I am using a pair of Nordica Vertech 85 that I bought about 7 years ago and at the same time had a pair of comformables molded for my feet. I am still using the same ones. They are really comfortable although lack a little in shock asorbtion. Make sure you have all the latest bells and whistles in your boots for shocks. The conformables I use have a space blanket type material on the sole to keep the heat in and your piggys nice and warm and because they mold to your foot shape they are much more comfortable than factory soles. If you want a

Saudi Arabia.

On skis it is means going backwards. ie. you butt facing down the hill instead of up. For boarders I think it is riding the normally "at the back leg goes first"...

Where's the skiers??!!

My apologies for getting the pimping thing wrong. Memories of the nights up there, for some reason, seem so cloudy.

Sorry can't help you with that one. But after the mess that happened last year and the latest write up in the Powder mag. I think they might have trouble getting alot of the top class atheletes to come over. That is if they don't make any changes from last year!

Hey lama, badmigraine's freind. I am not surpirsed you don't remember us, we weren't there that long. I think only about four days. badmigraine's the S&M one and I am the one you guys tried to rope into having pick girls up for YOU GUYS at powpow cause I speak Japanese. Remember now?

Major rule with goggles. DON'T TAKE THEM OFF YOU FACE OUTSIDE! They will fog. Don't matter what brand. Simple physics folks. I use Oakley A's and never had a problem with fog anywhere. Used 'em in Niseko, Niigata, Nagano. They have chageable lenses too if that's is a what you want. I haven't used any other brand so can't help you there. The reason I haven't used any ohter brand is 'cause there is no need too.

Thanks folks! Anyone got anyomre info on the Dome thing?

Anyone ever seen any demo days(where you can demo equipment from the various makers) at any resorts around Japan? I have been here skiing for nearly five seasons and have yet to see one! Anyone know of any upcoming demo day dates? I am talking of the two plank snow sport here.

...and we don't go for the hares either....

"Real" skiers/boarders don't go for the bunnies....

Actually you should probably read that name as JP Auclair.

A Salomon pocket-rocket is the JP Aulson(? forgive the spelling) pro ski. I understand that it is a ski that combines and overtakes from the AK Rocket and the Super Mountain skis. It is a purpose made fat twin for both back country powder skiing/jibbing and terrain park. The fact that it is such a new concept and new ski seems to make it almost a ghost of the net in terms of informative write ups.

Oh thank you so much for your hellishly intelligent input. I can see that you shined at school.

Thinking about buying a pair and want to know if anyone can lead me to some reviews on the web that are informative and in English.
