    Any suggestions for a good 67" slalom bag or sleeve

    in Skis Fins Bindings

    Posted

    Tad, if you want a bag/sleeve just for the ski I would go with Eagle. Get the one with the built in fin protector. I have also heard of people using a padded snowboard bag for their slalom ski, boots, liners, gloves, rope, etc. I am thinking of getting a 175 cm Dakine snowboard bag for my equipment. Been looking at them on the internet but stock is low right now because it is not snowboard season. New stock should be coming out soon.

    How about..."If money were no object" what ski/boot combo would you have?

    If money were no object, I would start my own ski company and hire Andy Mapple, Dave Goode, Denny Kidder, and the LaPoint brothers as my ski designers. They would make me a hollow cored, resin transfer molded, dual rockered, dual locked, stepped bottom asymmetric unbreakable ultralight mid-mid-ride secret prototype R&D test ski built with nano carbon technology and real 3K twill weave carbon fiber graphics!

    My favorite Goodes were the 9500, 9900SL (Traditional), and the Nano Twist Mid. Not coincidentally they all have very similar flexes (within a few pounds) as measured by my own flex tester.

    HO Syndicate S2 Unboxing

    That was a funny video. I always have to do the unboxing ceremony in my basement after my wife goes to sleep so I don't get yelled at for buying a new ski. It used to be easy with all the Goodes being black and orange, so she never knew I got a new ski. It was hard explaining the white/smoke graphic on my latest ski though.

    Stupid Dual Lock Question

    I use 2 strips of 400 (clear) and 2 strips of 250 (clear) on the plate, and 4 strips of 250 (clear) on the ski. No pre-release issues whatsoever. I weigh 180 pounds. I personally like clear because it is much easier to remove and clean the residue from the ski.

    G-10 Plate thickness

    I have a sheet of black G-10 in 0.092" thickness. Is that too thin to make a G-10 binding plate out of? I was thinking it would flex better and also be slightly lighter. All my previous G-10 plates were made from 0.125" thick G-10. Thanks.

    Do you keep your ski in a bag, tog, or neo sleeve?

    I bought an Eagle Neoprene Ski Sock with built in fin guard. Problem with it was the fin protector had no drainage and the neoprene is not breathable, so if you put your ski away a little damp the water stays in contact with the ski. Sort of makes a humid environment for the ski tail. Faded the graphics and the black paint peeled away at the tail of my Goode Nano Twist.
