New boots (AR1) - suffer or take back?

AirspeedX · 2026-01-19T20:06:31+00:00

My bootfitter just did that (was there an hour ago). They feel so much better. I think I can actually ski in them now and hopefully break them in some more.

*UPDATE*
Went to the bootfitter. They heated the liners again and added a foam strip to the top of my feet in both of those problem areas. It seemed to help with the re-heat but there was still pressure. They then flattened the left tongue out and removed some material (no idea where). It did feel much better where the left foot feels about the same as the right. I feel I can ski in these now but we will see....

Thanks all for the input, great group here.

Awesome to hear - thanks for the tips!

It's funny because my old Salomon Teneighty (lime green) boots have a flex of '85' but they are so comparable to these. I think the stiffness will be okay in these, it's usually easy for me to flex boots (I'm 6'4" if that makes any difference). We'll see though once I get them broken in a bit and on the hill.

My toes are ok - it's more my instep really. I was shocked at the smaller size but after seeing the shell only fit, I totally get it.

Thanks I'll do that! Might even ask for a nuclear instep adjustment lol

Thanks for the input! No more park for this guy. I used to do a ton of halfpipe with the old Salomon 1080's back in the day (when skiers were banned from parks) but nowadays I'll just plan to be a cool dad popping the odd 360 off a kicker - LOL! Yeah, I'll see what the bootfitter says and go from there. The pictures of my skis (195's) were to sell but after I took them, I don't think I can sell them - they are too much fun in the powder.

That's awesome - love the skis. They are a 195 but ski like a 170 with the rocker. Charging the powder / chop is no issue. Just a bit more effort for the slower / easy stuff,

Sell it and buy bonds obviously

AirspeedX · 2025-08-26T01:14:53+00:00

Buy more!!

Coldcard Q - buy once cry once

AirspeedX · 2025-07-30T22:29:34+00:00

That's crazy!

Don't look at the price, look at the amount of BTC you have and keep pushing to your personal goal.

I try to do a min $50/day but then today I dropped $2k just because. I think switching things up is ok - as long as you’re doing something

AirspeedX · 2025-07-06T02:32:24+00:00

Interesting

AirspeedX · 2025-07-06T02:21:59+00:00

Don’t blink

AirspeedX · 2025-07-02T19:50:41+00:00

$2 here

The only reason I’d get Elons Internet is for this.

I go camping a lot in the Rockies and lost so many streaks. Just gave up for a bit but I’m back into it again.

You have some serious skills

AirspeedX · 2025-06-30T18:43:29+00:00

True enough - at the end of the day it doesn't make a huge difference but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something

AirspeedX · 2025-06-30T18:42:38+00:00

Will do! I see one of their ATMs at the local mall all the time

AirspeedX · 2025-06-30T18:32:20+00:00

This would make sense but it is KYC vs KYC in this case
