I don’t know about all that stuff, LOL. The husband of our operations manager works for Rossignol and can get equipment for 40% of retail price. She kindly offered to get me set up through him. The boots, skis and bindings were $400. I will admit that my shins were a little sore, so what you are describing has merit, but I doubt I will ski more than 5 times per year, so this equipment seemed fantastic for me needs, particularly for the price.Do they have air shins now?
I've purchased a few boots in my life - Hansen, Salomon, etc. They did the heat/memory thing. I needed boots that kept my shins against the front of the boot - moguls and epic crashes due to lack of forward shins - and I did have a former Aspen ski instructor help me - he was an alcoholic - but knowledgeable. Didn't ask him what he did the previous night. The only time I had personal lessons in skiing. The remainder were classes. Skiing down the face of Ajax to the bars was scenic and tough work. But the scenery and drinks inside were first class.
