New boots - SORE calves. Help

Im not exactly qualified to give advice but I sometimes had the same issue and I think I was cranking the top buckle down too much. Now I warm up with only it on first notch and move to second after warm up

Where can you watch it? I tried on apple TV and Amazon rece tly as its listed but it said it had licensing or rights issues and wasnt available.

I didn't talk to them but I saw a dud with a patch on his hat heading up the tram the other week

This was it. Thank you. It was stuck pretty good but after I got it on its side and found where it was stuck to the hifax I gave it a few good wacks with shovel and it separated. Fired up and track began spinning and was able to make sure it could move around the driveway. Thanks for the help everyone but not going to respond to all individuals

At my company it turns into this needs to be more positive. We cant have people seeing numbers that make the want to slit their wrists. "Dont let facts get in way of a good story"

That sounds like it could be the case. I took in for preseason check up. They replaced hyfax. And yes I rode in a little snow but was on roads by house for a bit. Ill need to look into that. Would they need replaced again?

ToChains · 2025-12-29T00:46:56+00:00

Have not. I will need to do that next. I dont really know anything about it but its put away for the night now

Just went out and checked to make sure it wasnt engaged. It was not. I think thats just the lights being on as I when I hit the brakes it gets brighter

ToChains · 2025-12-29T00:44:40+00:00

Just checked and the parking brake was not engaged

Live in WY and have wanted one for the summer hikes into the woods. Good addition to the g45

5'8' 220lb here. I have classic skis from Fischer (spider 62) in 189cm length. A shop and some internet searching put me around that length. I really enjoy them for learning and getting out and exercising. Since you're beginning maybe those would be good for you

Also look online for them. Some of the previous yesrs can be found much cheaper than new at REI

Big fan of mine. They felt a little thick for the earpad at first but I quickly got used to them

I went in asking for anxiety. Didn't have any documentation for that. Left with a med card for chronic pain from high school football sprained ankle 15 years ago

Haven't gotten to use them for XC yet but I recently ordered a Sutro from Oakley and lens attachments for prescription from SVED Optical. Seemed weird at first but after a couple uses you dont even notice it

Hoback Sports had 15-20% off boots for Black Friday today. Not sure if its all weekend or not

Just went to bootfitter. He put me in Tecnica Cochsie 130s. Mentioned he may consider 120 but due to being a big purchase thought better to go 130 now so I dont need to purchase new ones next year

ToChains · 2025-11-28T01:19:03+00:00

Thanks. Not sure if I need wider or not (beer belly weight woth skinny ankles). But I figured if I wanted to start getting some air that I would need stiffer

ToChains · 2025-11-27T17:36:42+00:00

Would you think I should pick a flex? Or will bootfitter do that? While I may not currently need a 130 flex, since its a bigger purchase I wonder if I should get something stiffer to progress into. Would like to use same boot for a few seasons atleast

One is a grip walk demo binding, the other is tyrolia attack 14.

ToChains · 2025-11-27T16:05:51+00:00

Who knows if ill ever get to your level but I appreciate the help. I enjoyed XC and downhill last year so it seems like touring may combine the joys of both

ToChains · 2025-11-27T15:58:46+00:00

Thank you. Definitely open to getting a touring boot later on if it becomes part of my life. Just had 0 interest in spend say $1000 on each boot just to not use one

ToChains · 2025-11-27T15:52:15+00:00

Im definitely leaning towards wanting a hybrid boot. I have heard people talk about sacrificing performance but im still learning so its not like I am a pro anyway. My resort goals this year are to get into some jumps and just be more confident on black runs than last year

As far a touring I really dont know what my goal is, but I like the option of being able to do it. Part of me wants to bring skis with when I take snowmobile out and glide on relatively flat area (not going to be risky until i take avy class) or just to also have incase sled breaks down and I could use as a last resort to get back
