Are Snowboard Boot size and Ski Boot Size the same Size as Snow Boots. Or is there a Web-Based Calculator. Or How can you calculate it by your self.

Most Alpine, Telemark, and Randonee boots are measured in Mondo size. An easy conversion trick is to add the two digits in the Mondo size together and you will roughly get the US men’s shoe size.

Mondo 29: 2+9=11; Modo 26: 2+6=8. Mondo 30 is 12, 31 is 13, etc, etc.

This will get you in the ballpark…each boot may fit a bit better depending on it’s style and manufacturer.

XC ski boots are mostly measured in European sizes. Conversions for this are sketchy at best. One company will put one size andother uses some other equation…it’s messed up. I’ve sold XC boots for years and no two companies are the same.

Snowboard boots are mostly sized according to US shoe sizes. If you take a men’s 11.5 shoe…you’l most likely take a men’s 11.5 snowboard boot.

It’s for an art project. I need to start by bringing in a picture of a scene by looking in or out a window. I was thinking of doing skiing so I was looking for a picture of a skiing place maybe from the perspective of a window in a resort or a gondola. Thanks!

Salomon Impact X7 Alpine Ski Boots – Men’s – ‘08 Closeout — The Salomon Impact X7 ski boots are built to charge down steep lines while keeping your feet warm and comfortable; designed exclusively for REI. Bi-material shell and cuff use soft materials over the instep and the front of the cuff for ease of entry, excellent foot envelopment and progressive flex. Second Skin last surrounds the foot with a performance anatomical fit, so every bit of control pressure is transferred to the ski. Spaceframe Shell Profile, with multi-layer construction and precise wall thicknesses, optimizes feeling, performance and energy transmission. Thin-wall construction of the Second Skin Shell creates a light, sensitive boot, providing superior fit and feel. Energyzer shell reinforcement provides a progressive and responsive flex. Oversize Sensifit material over the forefoot and up the front of the shell enhances comfort and ease of entry. Sensifit 2D cuffs use soft Sensifit plastic in the shin and overlap areas of the boot cuff to accommodate varying lower leg shapes. My Customfit Comfort liner, featuring a layer of conformable foam, customizes the fit along the front of the ankle. Loop on tongue helps when putting the boot on and taking it off. Microadjustable titanium buckles shave weight off the boot while providing performance-enhancing stiffness. Auto 3D instep buckle has 3 adjustable positions on the shell, allowing a personalized closure angle for optimal envelopment, comfort and control. 35mm strap enhances wrap and support of the upper ankle while increasing the boot’s forward rigidity. Canting adjustment aligns the cuffs to lower leg shape; rear spoiler heights can be adjusted for more, or less, rear support. Replaceable pads on the soles let you maintain your boots for years of riding. Footbed width is 100mm. Closeout. | 869259 | Salomon | Skiing and Snowboarding Ski Equipment Ski Boots

SNOW PARRRRRK. nah im just sayin that cuz i love it. i spent a week there, and its really good for doing park stuff like rails etc.. and they have a half pipe which is good… but you will find more snowboarders than skiiers. you should also look at cadrona and remarkables… i dont know much about them unfortunatly…

but the whole wanaka area is just arun with ppl for the snow season so you kno its good…

not very helpful but hey… hope yu get something from this.

I really have no clue, Whiteface has a couple hard trails, but the hardest trail by far I have been on is in Scranton, PA on one of my favorite mountains called Montage, now called Mt, Sno called White Lightning. Lastly, whats the hardest trail too, no glades or anything but trail you have been on?

I’ve heard Mad River Glen is very difficult because they don’t groom or make snow or anything. They don’t allow snowboarders either.

Killington has some challenging terrain as well, I’m sure you’ll find some good stuff there.

Mount Snow (not Sno) has the hardest non-glade I have ever gone down. It is called Bear Trap, and when I was on it it had hip-high moguls. the pitch is not too steep, which made it even more strenuous, and it was about 2,000 feet long. It even had its own lift to service it, and I was going up and down on it all day. That was a great day

Im looking for a soft shell/ fleece baselayer to wear under a hardshell. I like the look of the Arc’Teryx gear but pretty expensive. I like stuff that’s fittted and longer in the sleaves. Any suggestions as far as pieces that run long and slim?

I really like spyder, i am tall and thin, also i like RIde and betty ride, they are pricier but very nice quality!
Hope this helps!!!
Thanks!

I’ve been doing a little online browsing and have come across a website that sells ski gloves and snowboard gloves. What, if anything, is the difference?

They pretty much look to be the same to me…

For the record, I ski and board, so would one type be better or more versatile than the other?

In reality…nothing more than style and color. There are high guantlet (how far up the wrist they go) ski gloves and low gauntlet ski gloves…same thing for snowboard gloves.

Yes, some have extra padding here and there, or some reinforcement on one place versus another…but essentially they are all fairly similar.

That being said…they will all be similar depending on what they are made of. A cheap pair from K-Mart made of non-waterproof material will not be as good as pair from a ski shop….generally.

Having said that, the best pair of gloves I bought in the past two years were $20 leather work gloves with a waterproof membrane and a Thinsulate liner. I bought them to wear when I was running the snowmaking machines…I ended up wearing them skiing too. Mountain Hardware wanted $80 for a leather glove that wasn’t even half as good. I also don’t generally wear "ski gloves". Most days I wear a thin pair of Gore Windstopper N2S liner gloves. If it gets cold I put on a pair of OR Pro Ice Climbing mittens.
