    @noooooah I have 67 HO Coefficient X from about 2014 if interested. A few steps down from top of the line then but it was/is a good intermediate ski. I don't have boots on it now, but once season is done in a couple weeks I can throw on HO attacks that are pretty worn but still some use in them. Ski itself is still in great shape. Let me know, I can msg pics if want. Inexpensive option if just looking for something to ride.

    @skialex Vectors (or Lyric or HO eq) in size S are too big. What do they sell on the TRA's i wonder?

     

    Not sure how she'd feel about rubber, but Wiley's might be her best option. I don't think she'd be in to hardshells.

    I can't seem to find many options for small boots/bindings.

     

    I got my wife a new Radar Union last year and put her old HO boots on. Her feet are tiny, the HO boots are kids size. I'd like to get something newer for her, the HO hurt her feet big time.

     

    Does Radar make kids boots/bindings? Can't find anything online. Adult womens xsmall will be too big. Other ideas?

     

    Thanks.

    Hey Ballers,

     

    I'm James Brown (yup). Begged for ski rides from family friends as a kid behind I/Os, outboards, fishing boats on whatever combo slalom ski could be found. Spent summers in a trailer park in Muskoka, Ontario. All open water free skiing. Intro to course skiing as a teen at Bush's in Bala, ON...only once a year, but I loved trying to get around those balls. After high school didn't ski through university and into early work life at all (I'm a Metallurgical Engineer). Met my future wife and fate/luck would have it, she grew up skiing as well and I was reintroduced to skiing at her folks cottage (their lake has a course!); that was 14 years ago and I think I get more addicted every year...I just love skiing. PB few years ago ran -32@36. Can't seem to get back there (-22@34 on a good day) but this summer have taken a few lessons (McClintocks and Bush's) and enjoying working on form. And this spring finally got a boat of our own, a 2000 Malibu SSLXi....loving it and looking forward to plenty of good family time (3 daughters) on the water in the Kawarthas for years to come. Super glad this forum exists, has certainly further ignited the fire!

     

    Cheers!

    Hip pain

    When y'all talking about boot angles, I'm a bit confused. I'm RFF and front foot points to the right, rear points to left a bit. Is that normal? Better for the hips?

     

    I've had left hip (rear) pain for couple years...doc thinks early arthritis (I'm 41), but I'm seeing a specialist soon as Ortho physiotherapist suspects maybe lebral tear (didn't show on MRI). I never suspected was skiing related (don't get to ski too much, every other weekend maybe during short Canadian season....and doesn't go away in winter)....but seeing these comments and the other related thread, maybe.....
