@ScarletArrow - Maybe we'll get a chance to meet this weekend.

@Wish, I haven't skied there. Yet. I will let you know next week. :)

They are pretty close to each other, @Ed_Johnson.....

I will get details this weekend. :)

I think you are correct about the warranty not being transferable, @Pat M. I may end up down there, but will hold out a little longer...that's a pretty big drop for me for only 30 sets on it, but I may end up there. May take a few steps down first... For what it's worth, I rode a 9900 that was supposedly for a left foot forward, and loved it...

$1,550?.....

Awesome story @Chef23. Memories like that with your son are priceless. I stopped by there several weeks back when they were putting the course in but didn't ski. I did meet @skikolb and he seems like a great guy. I will be down at Mapple this weekend and Eric has invited me over. I will certainly go over and hopefully get a set in. Cool stuff.

A nice almost new Nano One would be awesome. ;)

I used to ride the green strada and am now on the M6, but had several in between. Don't really remember the strada but I do know it was different... Perhaps I could interest you in an almost new Nano One at a really good price. :)

anyone....willing to negotiate.... :)

Good advice @dave2ball. I have worked with several trainers, and not all of them go beyond the weights....my first one never discussed nutrition. My best one focused pretty much equally on both, maybe more on nutrition. I'm an ISSA certified trainer in my spare time (whatever that is), but really went through the training for my own benefit.

I get a bib? That will be my first... :)

Didn't tear it (rear) but did enough damage to spend 6 weeks in a boot, and 6 weeks in an air cast. Draft bindings.

That would be an awesome combo set @Than_Bogan. Someone should really buy it.

I don't know how to do anything in moderation, @markchilcutt!

I'm a former runner (+/- 65 miles a week), but an ankle injury forced me to do something else. I learned that dedicated cardio actually can deplete muscle....which is not the goal. A well designed weight training program will work your heart plenty, and increase lean muscle, which burns fat. I managed to drop 20 more pounds after I stopped running (after being stuck at 60 lbs for a year of the excessive cardio), without the beating on my body that running provided. Every now and then, just for fun, I run just to do it, and learned early on that the lungs and heart are still there for me to easily run 4 or 5 miles without any issue. I'm no muscle head - nothing especially heavy, but I incorporate quite a bit of super sets and circuits in most of my workouts. As for nutrition, I eat, and eat a lot. Depending on the time of year and the goal at the time (size and strength v lean and light), I eat 4, 5, and at times 6 FULL meals a day. Clean, lean meat (2-3 pounds a day), clean carbs at all but my last meal, not as many veggies as I'd like, virtually no sodium or sugar, and lots of water. No supplements, shakes, or bars. Just food. I fuel the fire about every 4 hours. What do I do to get in shape? Lift weights. What do I do for cardio? Lift weights, faster.

My old yellow Maherajah LaPoint..... I really love the look of my Mapple 6.0. The metal flake in the black is really sweet in the sunlight.

@smanski - looks like mine is a right....

Apparently there is a right/left and a neutral. I assume mine is right or neutral but will confirm that for you @smanski.

I'm right but doesn't matter with the nano one. They don't come left or right.

@OB, I can help you get in shape, but I'd rather ski like YOU! Thanks for reminding me about the demo days...will likely be there on Thursday, so need to book that!

It's not much, but every bit helps!

The donate button doesn't work for me....

Low fat, low sodium, low sugar. Protein from food, not supplements or drinks (chicken, turkey, fish). 4-5 MEALS (not snacks) a day (about every 4 hours), including 1-2 servings of clean carbs at all but the last meal. People at my office give me a hard time for eating so much, and so often.

It is a good ski. Hopefully someone will pick up and enjoy it.
