I have witnessed him in the shop, and he only advises based on what the customer is looking for and what would be best in terms of the right product. He is not driven by price.
Thoroughly decent chap too.

'tis true.

Any one who skis as well as he does, drinks as much as he does and likes AC/DC into the bargain just HAS to be a geezer.

So this means when I tottle into his store when I drag my sis to Austria with me I'll be making a stop.

What about an old lady in a wheel chair?

Footbed canting is serious stuff and will affect the whole way you stand on your skis.

ise, iceghost is a suitable candidate for an expert bootfitter. I know you're sceptical, but do you have bone screws in your feet?

indeed I have a screw head poking out of my foot. It's great at parties Thank you guys so much for all your help!

Canting- [ex. -/+2]
rear spoiler-
[ I have one on my car, why do boots need em'?]
Flex indexx- [ex. 120-110]
sizing- [MP XY.Z] Whats with the MP?
wedge-

The time has come to start looking for new boots. I got to try some different brands on my last trip to Austria and I fell head over skis with a honey of a set of Nordica speed machines.

I didn't know about that actually so thanks! I have been in contact with AJ and Jan about this and they are a HUGE help. Now I'm researching real estate agents that work directly with Tirol ( and a few places in southern Germany) Tony I love the suggestion " Go over there!" I'm trying to persuade my sister to come with me in October this year

Bandit!!!!! WHERE DID YOU GET HIM?!!!? )

As some of you may realize I want to move over to Tirol. I'm looking for something between Innsbruck, Mayrhofen, and Kitzbuhel. I have put in a lot of searches for apartments in Mayrhofen and all I'm hitting are holiday packages. For the most part are there apartments in the area that are rent to live in or is it too touristy. I have recently gotten ahold of some real estate agents in the area and I'm waiting for a bite.

Javi I nailed it!!!!! http://www.aboutaustria.org/living/moving_to_austria.htm
Time for a beer after that find!!!!

There is no real appeal about America for me, especially when you can be off a flight in just over an hour (Geneva from London).
I hope Cleggy has a great time though.

Any reason why America, when there is some much in Europe to ski?

One theory is that the dollar STINKS right now :) It was a bear converting from dollars to Euros/pounds last month
