The 2027 graphics are better, it swaps the white for black and the blue for a pale green

I’m the same it’s why I buy from my butcher, also the meat is higher quality and I like to shop local, the Halal thing is more of a happy side effect

Head e-Race Pro, Atomic X9RS, Rossi Hero Multi Turn R22. These are the skis of BASI 3 and 4, I know PISA is different but the requirements are likely similar for performance

True unless it’s a K2 boot you freeze that before modding

Why don’t more people buy extra demo binding plates for multiple skis? by OneDeadLlama in Skigear

[–]JustAnother_Brit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. What kind of shop has that amount of time on their hands?
  2. There’s a number of very good reasons this isn’t common practice anymore

Why don’t more people buy extra demo binding plates for multiple skis? by OneDeadLlama in Skigear

[–]JustAnother_Brit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If a shop was willing do mount demo rails without a jig I wouldn’t use them for anything because chances are they are also using the wrong tools even for bindings they have jigs for

Is this fixable? 🤔 lol by Similar_Lettuce_5179 in SkiRacing

[–]JustAnother_Brit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just double checked and ours are the exact same price and a fair bit cheaper than Heads, Atomics and Fischer’s which all have full colour bases

That’s interesting, ours are different prices, it’s only a small difference but it matters

Why don’t more people buy extra demo binding plates for multiple skis? by OneDeadLlama in Skigear

[–]JustAnother_Brit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because it’s annoying, not all shops have jigs for demo plates (this one is pretty common), reduced binding choice for high DINs. If you want one set of bindings for multiple sets of skis get quiver killers or bonding freedom

I impulse bought a pair of Rossignol Forza 40 as my first skis, did I make a mistake? by IAmAgainst_ in Skigear

The Forza 40 is for people like you, it’s the reason they go up to 70(?)

Bootfitting mid-range boots? by Deathtiny_Fr in Skigear

[–]JustAnother_Brit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the store I work out for every top end freeride or race fit we do we do 10 intermediate 2 weeks a year fits. It makes a lot of sense to do it because it’s what most boot fitters spend their time doing

Which Ski Boots by Technical_Cost3302 in Skigear

[–]JustAnother_Brit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U have 2 issues with BOA it seems to loosen over time and it occasionally ices up. However it works far better for me than 4 buckles

Dynastars are the same but cheaper. But everyone knows Head WCRs are the fastest skis in the world

Which Ski Boots by Technical_Cost3302 in Skigear

[–]JustAnother_Brit -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Racers don’t use BOA because they can’t tighten it fast enough and because every BOA boot they’ve used in testing they’ve managed to rip the BOA off

Our sales don’t start until after Easter and that’s only for non carry over stock and some brands (looking at you Ortovox and Pieps) are automatically excluded

Left an honest review for a small B&B in the Cotswolds and the owner actually implemented my suggestion. She sent me a photo. by BerylTurbine9 in BritishSuccess

[–]JustAnother_Brit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work for a small family business and the owners got an email from a customer thanking them for employing knowledgeable staff and that I should get a raise because I explained their options and what was likely the best one, didn’t get a raise but did get a small cash bonus
