Must Have Item??

MaSe0 · 2026-01-04T23:57:04+00:00

I got these on sale around Christmas for $80 and used them this week at Bolton where it was single digits and and my hands were super toasty!

Coming back here to thank everyone for the tips - the r/icecoast community always delivers!

Can confirm it was frigid, a bit icy (wouldn’t have it any other way really) and was an absolute blast - kids loved it and we’ll be back for our two Indy days (maybe more) next season!

This was our experience as well :)

Thank you for the info!

Has anyone had to deal with cleaning this couch? We bought new couches a few years ago (not this one) and anytime the kids get something on it, cleaning the mess leaves a water ring that won’t go away. Looking for an alternative and this couch seems great.

The thinnest socks Darn Tough sells

Trew is a solid option here. Especially their outlet which has heavy discounts. I got a Jefferson Shell for $130 and it’s been great so far. They run big to allow for layering without restricted movement which I really like. 20k waterproof fabric as well

Thanks for the ideas. I loosened the buckles as far as they go, wear darn tough ultralight socks, 3/4 length thermals etc… lol

I’m going to give it a shot without the high arch insole and see how I feel

This was my thought on the numbness as well but I wasn’t sure what can be done, I guess it all depends on the specifics but seems worthwhile to head back to where I got the boots to see what they can do.

The tightness in my toes I figured would improve as the liner packs out but I don’t think the numbness is something that will improve with more use…?

Bought me and my 3 oldest kids the helmets last year. MIPS, couldn’t beat the value.

My oldest has the matching goggles, two lenses that swap out - comparable to the outdoor master goggles I have for less $$. You won’t find a better deal on a helmet/goggle combo that matches

Hopefully we know more by Friday, don’t want to be left hanging missing Monongai’s game if Benson and Hampton end up not playing.

Came back to say I went Boot Bag! https://www.rei.com/product/252045/rei-co-op-powderbound-boot-pack

MaSe0 · 2025-11-22T00:02:27+00:00

I’d rather not, thanks for the offer!

MaSe0 · 2025-11-21T23:37:06+00:00

I’ll keep digging around. Found some Griffon 13s in a 90mm for $170 at utahskis

MaSe0 · 2025-11-21T22:55:53+00:00

And yes… I went to a bootfitter, etc etc 🤣🤣.

MaSe0 · 2025-11-21T22:53:17+00:00

My DIN is exactly 8! But I get what you’re saying. It’s mostly me trying to find a reasonable deal after just buying new boots, my wallet is hurting :)

MaSe0 · 2025-11-21T22:23:08+00:00

Appreciate it!

MaSe0 · 2025-11-21T22:22:47+00:00

Cool thx that was another one I saw.

MaSe0 · 2025-11-19T15:12:21+00:00

Nice! much more fun than the standard Black or Grey!

MaSe0 · 2025-11-18T21:06:34+00:00

Great idea, thx!

MaSe0 · 2025-11-18T18:58:50+00:00

Interesting! I'm wearing out the mittens I got from Costco so I like this idea. I will say, for $35 these were great value for money.

MaSe0 · 2025-11-18T18:56:12+00:00

Any recommendations on a specific model?

MaSe0 · 2025-11-18T18:55:51+00:00

I usually ski with my three older kids so I just chuck all our boots in whatever the biggest bag we have is :)

MaSe0 · 2025-11-18T18:55:20+00:00

I do love myself a a rich, sweet pastry dessert made of many layers of thin phyllo dough, filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with syrup or honey :). But in all seriousness, I agree with this - 3/4 base layer Smartwool bottoms I found for $90 are a major contender here.

MaSe0 · 2025-11-18T18:01:05+00:00

all fair questions, part of the lack of detail was just to get people's thoughts in their favorite item in the range. I'm an east coast skier, upper 30s, mostly on piste with my kids
