Ski! Now with less yard sales.
So yesterday, I took a half day from work, and visited the friendly folks at Strand's. See, I've had problematic ski boots from day 1, and I decided it was high-time I fixed that.
Now, ski boots only exist to act as an adapter between the intrinsicly incompatible foot, and ski. If one could graft skis on, it would be ideal. In lieu of this, one wants the best fit possible in their boot. My old boots terrified me, because whenever something moved my ski forcefully (such as, catching a rut of hard snow, or gravity pulling down as I leave the ground on a jump), my feet moved in the boot in such a way that I didn't really have control over the ski anymore.
Thusly, I adapted my skiing style to be rather conservative and watchful. Now, finally, that's going to change.
Goodbye conservative barrel-assing down hills, hello aggressive barrel-assing down hills!
