mrk127Just got a new intuition liners and hotronics boot heaters. My boots feel awesome and are so much warmer. I'm not getting frostbite again now
how has your frostbite healed? Did you make it back out on skis this season?
I had an incident of mild frostnip a few weeks ago, probably caused by having by buckles too tight. It was a very distinct sensation when the feeling returned in the toes, almost like a burning sensation.

Yeah dude be careful of cold toes with minimal circulation, frostnip can turn into frostbite pretty quick in cold conditions.
My frostbite has actually healed really well for how bad it was, I got back skiing two weeks ago, I’m not at 100% but fairly close
elcheapoOh heck yeah, gonna figure out how to jig for herring so i don't have to drive 2 hrs to buy them .kings love those fresh herring.....at first lol.
notadoctorI got hellbents this season and my brother really wanted a pair of fat pow sticks after trying them. Bought these used but mint condition fattypus alotta's for him.
FruitBootProhow is the shape and flex compared to hellbents
The shape is similar but alottas are a bit wider, have traditional camber, and are noticeably stiffer. Neither are stiff skis but the hellbents are comically soft and very rockered.
Haven't skied the alotta's yet but I expect them to feel quite different than the hellbents. My brother and I have same weight, bsl, and boots so we swap skis regularily and I will hopefully get a chance to ski them next season.
cydwhitAlso snagged registration for the NAEC at Silver and the MES at Jackson. Stoked to race poorly.
I'll probably do the MES Helenduro, and wanted to do Jackson too but it is the same weekend that I'm planning on going camping with my gf for her birthday, while she loves the Tetons I dunno how stoked she would be on me forcing the choice of locale around a bike race.

Yeah, I was gonna do Helenduro, but the timing is sorta weird for me. I was really hoping it was going to be before the NAEC, but since it's a couple weeks after I'm really not that motivated to go to Helena in late June.
And trying to sandwich a birthday and the Rendezvous race seems really challenging. Camping will be a shitshow already, and then with no onsite camping for racers I think it's gonna be a PITA even without trying to juggle her experience haha.

Damn, that's some real bullshit that there is no onsite camping for racers, that weekend is insane anywhere near the Tetons even without a bike race.
Thanks for the MEC reminder, just pulled the trigger on Helenduro, I'm racing in the sport class since I have never raced before and I'm definitely not a super crazy fast rider either. Wish I would have planned out my schedule better, but I'll be seeing Built to Spill in Bozeman the night prior to Enduro Pescado and there is no way I'm getting up early enough for a 5.5 hour drive to Whitefish
