Tony, Ian;
Went to Italy last season & loved it; the people were really friendly, the food excellent ( & good value) + the snow was brilliant! So quite keen to go back. Firstly the snow needs to be there & ideally would like to be above the freeze/thaw line as not too keen on icy pistes in the morning. Livigno 'should' satisfy on these points I think. Really like lots of reds & blues,tree line skiing ( so may miss out on that'here')& easy slope access from accomodation ( again, not sure as village seems pretty strung out). Also dont like rip off prices for food & drink so should be okay here on that count Not to bothered about nightlife but a few bars etc would be good. Would you concurr on the above assumptions or should I go somewhere else? FB |

CEM,
Not at all; just that these boots came up & I couldnt resist them at the price ( I know about buying without trying & to be honest once I'd committed to buying began to regret it) ; and they are actually unused ( as yet), brand bew out of the box; hence the Q's about liners/insoles etc. I justified buying them in my head in that they cost no more than a rental boot for a week & so these are pretty good at that price. If they dont work out I was planning to come & spend some money with you but will need to save up so the other 1/2 doesnt notice the 'drop' in 'our' bank balance ( should never have got into that joint account). So in the meantime,would you not bother getting the liner 'moulded? Cheers FB |

Hi
Looking for some advise ( not a a lecture please) :!: Bought some boots off ebay, I know :roll: ( atomic B tech 90); seem a decent fit ( done shell check etc all good). The boot liners ( Atomic T2 sport liner) are custom mouldable to 'your' feet. Am okay with 'doing' the liners myself but not sure about the insoles. They are made by SIDAS & looking at their web site also seem to be able to 'cutom fit' by heating.......If they are, is this also possible DiY task rather than treking to a boot fitter? Any advise welcome Thanks Frost bite |

My 'much better off brother in law' goes to VDI every year and reports that if in the 'right place' 15-20 Euro hot chokkie drink is not uncommon :shock:
