I would skip the Sports Den for footbeds. I got custom footbeds there last year and they are unusable. I had someone I don't remember set them up initially, and went back to have Musky re-mold them and they are still unbearable. If I had more time I would have demanded my money back but I ended up just throwing them away.
I'll second Mandy at Wasatch Custom Fitz. She's my go-to bootfitter!
How was the keyhole gate managed today that was different than in year's past?Quote:

those are some Ikonic complaints being addressed in that letter.
thats some odd strategy, were there SB folks traversing on the W side of the rope to Keyhole?
Big fan of Derek at Sport Loft. I trust him with all my work.
Doesn't your belly look like a medicine ball these days Bob? :D
It’s extremely common for ASP to open up baldy chutes and not open it from the bird side. Despite the fact that they hiked from the tram to run the routes. Funny thing is I talked with some boarders ( long time bird people) who were saying how they never go out to keyhole but did today. ASP has been waiting for Bird patrol to open the gate for a few years now. And it’s not exactly high on the Bird patrol priority. Especially today when they were life flighting a patient from half way up little cloud.Quote:

I heard the life flight was just a practice run, but I could be wrong.
The main issue IMO with holding back the keyhole gate is that they're gonna tempt people to rope duck. I held firm yesterday as did those around me, but it's tough to be standing by a rope and watching people come right by on the other side of the rope.
And a little mini stoke offering from my 2 pm keyhole lap to offset any pending bitch tickets haha:https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8a7fcd6638.jpg

My son and I made the trip from DV to Alta today. We waited about an hour for the backside open. He says it was definitely worth it!

Any recommendations on a DV/Park City area bootfitter that can set this kid up with a pair of footbeds?

We were just out last week. My wife had a great experience with Brent and Ed at https://www.parkcityskiboot.com/newsite/. Contact the office manager, Belle, and set up an appointment. No pressure and very helpful.

Magic hour did not disappoint.
Wasatch Noob question, Heading out Sunday for a week of skiing at the Bird, Alta, Basin and Brighton. I was bringing Enforcer 104`s but it looks like a low tide week. I have 94`s as well. Any advice would be appreciated- I`m only bringing one pair. The weeks not starting great either, sprained my right AC joint skiing the ice at Loon yesterday.
Lots of people daily drive wide skis here, but I'd definitely suggest the 94 given the forecast, especially with a sprained knee.Quote:

Thanks for the bootfitting recs folks!
Thanks, I`ll bring the 94`s.
Today was like old times, mobbing around basin with MD9 and Meats of Evil.

Hah! Caught a shark on the takeoff that threw my balance off so I didn't stick it, but lost no gear and only wounded pride.Quote:

Holy smokes, we haven't had any visual proof of anyone skiing a line that steep on this forum since that one dude skied Main Chute way back when.
