Kia ora team, I’m keen on attending a festival at one of the club fields this winter in NZ. I’ve only had a few tele lessons (I ski and snowboard otherwise) but I loved it and want to get more done. I’d like to rent kit again before I commit to buying; anyone got any suggestions? I’ve only skied 75mm but if buying I’d be looking at NTN. Thanks for any advice!
For context I’ve spent a little over a year on a set of old vices with worn out springs. I demoed a ntn setup recently and found it less fun but really appreciated the extra stability when making alpine turns in slush.
Everything I’ve seen on reddit says hammerheads provide the most stiffness for 75mm setups but most posts are a few years old and I imagine parts are extremely hard to find these days. Is it still worth picking up a pair (found some for $150 with skis) or would it be better to throw some stiffy springs on the vices?
Well, I was out for a ride on my dirt bike and found this set of Merrells on the curb in front of a house that's getting renovated. They are in great shape with the exception of the cleanliness, and shockingly, my size. They appear to have been left in the rain for a few days, and had some creepy crawlies living inside. And prior to that I would guess they were stored in a dirt basement without climate control.
Regardless, they should be an excellent retro day boot and as such I am determined to return them to their former glory.
Any suggestions? I'm most worried about getting the interior as clean as humanly possible.
Amazing conditions for summer skiing little rusty but it was a good time.
