Heh Divas.
Just back from my trip to Tremblant and meeting Jilly today ! It was a great time. The snow was fantastic, and how much fun is that to meet someone new that you feel like you already know because of this site !! We had some great runs. As you can see from the pic, we were all bundled up and had some chuckles about the Divas who actually worry about wearing sun block (not an issue for us skiers in the north east).
The new equipment was fantastic - the boot fitter did a great job on my SECOND PAIR OF NEW BOOTS THIS YEAR !! I had a very bad experience and got some terrible advice from my local ski shop - they sold me a boot that turned out to be all wrong for my foot and 1.5 sizes too big !! So, once I got up to Tremblant I went in to the Salomon shop (luckily my original new boots were Salomon as well) and got fitted out really well with a new pair and some custom foot beds. The boot fitter was fantastic. Live and learn, but our local ski shop is quite reputable (normally) so I was very surprised. I'm hoping they will take back my original boots as they were not cheap and I've only skied one day in them. At the very least, I'm hoping for a full store credit for the purchase price.
Jilly - it was great to meet you and boy, did we have some great runs !! The rest of my week was great, even if the weather turned rather cold (-24 Celsius) - but that's what being Canadian is all about, eh?

Haven't been skiing since that day. I worked at the shop last weekend. Spent Sunday tweaking them, and got to thinking that the cork footbeds might be the way to go. Mine are plastic with a light grey fabric coating. Not too warm. The boots I had on NY day were my old comfy's with only superfeet in them. We're suppose to have a Rossi demo night tomorrow, but??? Won't be too cold!!
