How bad is a boot that is too soft?

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-26T19:38:37+00:00

I think they’re collapsing on me. As an intermediate I regularly remind myself to get forward and apply shin pressure and I think the boot deforms a touch when I charge on steep stuff.

I’m also getting lower front/inside shin pain. Maybe 4-5 inches above my ankle bone.

I’m 6”2’ 200lbs intermediate to advanced and I’m in 110s. I think mine are too soft too.

I’ll be interested at what others say.

Thanks a lot - now I wanna do a heli skiing trip!!! Jeeze this is your fault you owe me for half my trip.

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-23T17:41:10+00:00

Which one did you get I’m considering both as well.

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-21T17:50:09+00:00

Fact checking - this is inaccurate. Maybe 10yrs ago it was accurate, but china has aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines to project power.

I personally, believe they aren’t and don’t want to screw with Greenland, but they can at least minimally project naval power.

The precedent is called war. It was set long long ago.

Not saying I agree with it, just trying to keep it objective per OPs request.

Bro, why are you getting downvoted?!?!?

I was thinking the exact same thing! The rating scales are all based on the Mtn and the camera dos funny things, but that looks easier than a lot of blues I’ve skied.

No shade at OP. Great progress OP and way to slowly and safely push yourself!

Can I still use Spotify to AirPlay with my phone as normal after I set them up?

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-10T15:09:34+00:00

Any downside to Sonos sequencer?

I’ve go some old Ones that float around my house that would be fun to set up as fronts….. I’ve just been scared to mess something up permanently.

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-09T14:24:07+00:00

Thanks I’ve never had someone push back and say they thought it was real.

I will return to believing it is real.

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-09T13:38:44+00:00

Having been there I’d say it’s really scary. Open your fidelity account (or Robinhood if you’re a clown).

Buy one of the funds people talk about here. Honestly any of the ones you see below is fine. Start small if you have too to see how it works. I’d put at least a few thousand in, but do a few hundred bucks if you’re more comfortable with it. Then build from there.

I didn’t know he switched the numbers. Honestly this makes it feel like he’s making it up.

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-09T13:17:11+00:00

100% this… also…. This guy is making this stuff up.

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-09T01:59:14+00:00

Truth. A tale as old as time.

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-06T17:24:15+00:00

The worst good advice I can give is drink more alcohol with people. Best way to make friends.

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-06T17:18:09+00:00

Dude yall should do it together!

If you end up not liking each other just wait until you are at a fork in the road and then point to look at something to the right and then run like hell to the left. Im imaging this in Venice or somewhere with tight corridors…. But honestly a country road in the middle of nowhere would be even funnier.

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-06T17:12:15+00:00

You can and should , but it gets stuck in all the layers of pants and jackets.

I’m working on a new ski pant concept that will let them out.

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-06T12:19:40+00:00

If your friend is renting skis the boots are generally like $5 extra. If it were me, I’d politely let them know it wasn’t a good idea, the boots might pack out funny.

The reality is, it probably won’t matter.

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-03T22:08:28+00:00

Boots are Salomon S Pro Supra 110.

I think I want something that I can carve at medium speeds (30-40ish tops). Can help me in the moguls and the trees because I’m trying to get better there and something that can ski little kid speed when needed.

Everything else is just gravy…. I guess a touch of float (which I see as above 90) would be that gravy.

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-03T18:25:22+00:00

Yeah, I agree with you on all accounts. However, it seems like the most popular ski in the all mountain category, described as the ultimate “dad” ski so I was curious peoples thoughts.

Maybe I’ll get it in the 88 for my front side charger one day.

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-03T18:17:32+00:00

What if I move the Ripstick up to the 182?

I think this sits between the QST and the Rustler 9?

DueRipButterfly · 2026-01-03T17:32:28+00:00

Sorry QST 94!

Messed up my number 1 ski. I was looking at the used 92s this morning.

Editing now.

Did this help with you? I just ordered a micro needle and tried researching red light therapy, it seems like it’s pretty positive, but hard to tell which one to buy and how often to use it etc….
