yeah-the coaches who stand still in the shade in minus 20 for 4 hours love them-good about the house sometimes too and for sore muscles apparently?

sorry about the spelling mistake there btw!!

this has been breifly discussed i think in another thread but not directly what id like to know-

does anyone have either of these 2 models of boot warmers and have any feedback on which may be best? buying for the OH soon and need to make sure they are decent or ill not hear the end of it!!

if that link doesnt work it is the "hotronic M3 or M4 warmer-seems the .aspx bit doesnt copy right to the link

thanks all

just bought my OH these for christmas as one of the coaches out here in bormio swears by them and they are toasty for at least 1 hour on the slopes

they also do a bigger shoulder one which is awesome!

my friends used the oxygene one last april for 3 days-private lesson for the 2 of them and thought it was fantastic

i reckon they enjoyed the spray just to have a right laugh at me!

Came out in moguls before but it was the instructor in austria who recommended I adjust them and the rental shop that did it-thought they were a bit high at the time-think it is safer to go lower? dont really want a jammed knee!

god no i dont go "big" i just weigh nearly 110kg and they are my carvers so have to put up with a lot through the turn-when i bought the skis i got a higher DIN on the binding they go up to 14

as I have previously mentioned before i think i tried to spray my pupils with snow last eyar and the binding popped so i had them readjusted!

mmmmmm stockli skis

Hmm, Tony.. I want to keep the twintip so I can do the odd jump here and there and ski backwards mainly.. I wouldn't go near rails with them, wouldn't want them scratched.. The current pair I have are for that :D

I have noticed the Mission/Punishers from Scott and their prices aren't too bad either - but at the end of the day we get what we pay for - Hence the Lord's being almost 500 quid.

One more small question - If I were to get the Lord's, what size would I be looking for? I'm 6'1, 15 stone in weight, progressing intermediate.. anyone know? :) My current skis are 176 i'm sure, they feel ok - perhaps a little bit too short sometimes, hard to judge as I haven't really had many different pairs of skis under my feet!

depends what you want to do with them-if it is big long turns through crud, powder or on piste then maybe 181-185cm but if it is mainly for park then a bit shorter? see if you can try out a few different models and lengths and see for yourself-shorter and softer will feel "easier" and more fun but longer and stiffer will seem less fun but way more stable
