I have been lurking, taken notes, and got back on the skis last year, 2015/2016. My equipment was out of date (1980's). The Salomon SX90 boots I last ran in the early 90's, exploded after a dry try in my living room last November. Purchased Dalbello boots without the prerequisite help from pugski forum members, they are comfortable. The demo of skis would now commence.
I had 35 years on skis before an injury and life got side tracked from skiing 22 years ago.
Began skiing in Upstate N.Y moving west after high school skiing the Tahoe area Rose, Squaw,Northstar, Heavenly and Kirkwood.
I'm that guy who comes into the shop looking to adjust bindings on my K2 710-FO's and Rossi ST comp with 30 year aged Salomon 727 bindings in 2015. I was set straight, like the skis.
So here I am trying to catch up on the equipment, the terms you all refer to, the numbers that didn't exist way back when.
