We have been doing the muzzleloader hunt the last three years. I really like it. Warmer weather and far less crowded. I made a 150-yd shot this year.Originally posted by smokymountainrain View Post

I really want to start muzzleloading for those same reasons. I need to stop talking about it and just take the plunge. Sounds like a blast.I'm like LeBron James.

I've had custom liners for several years now. Love them. I went to Surefoot in Park City. Another place I've heard about is just below REI on 3300 S in SLC.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post

SalamonOriginally posted by TripletDaddy View PostI dont really know. I've never used a custom molded liner and most of the people I have asked recommended Intuition. Can't honestly say if that brand is any better than others.
The same boots for 15 years? Are you rocking some rear-entry Raichles?

What is the best way to go about buying skis, poles and boots? Is it best to buy from a shop or to hit one of the trade/swap/buy used deals? I have leased for the season the past few years and I am looking to buy some gear. I go about 15 times a year so I am not an ultra serious skier. Also what are folks' opinions of the Canyons? I know Vail just acquired it and that should make the Utah skiing scene different in the future. I cannot believe how cheap skiing is in Utah compared to Sun Valley.Do Your Damnedest In An Ostentatious Manner All The Time!

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

First, skiing 15 times a season is a pretty avid workload. That is a great season, imo.Originally posted by Goatnapper'96 View Post
I love the Canyons. It is more expensive, but if you take advantage of current deals that will be expiring soon, you can buy 5 or 10 packs that average around $55-60 a day at Canyons, Deer Valley (must be a local), brighton, and elsewhere. the canyons isnt a great mountain for beginners so if you ski often with young children or groomers, it may not be my top choice. But for blue and up, it is a great day on the sticks.
if you can find the equipment you like at season-ending clearance sales, you can really score some sweet deals, especially on skis and bindings. However, as a general rule, you can just buy online from all the various websites that sell ski gear. Shop from the comfort of your chair. This requires you to know what you want, however. i outfitted the puffy check last season with skis and boots and bought a new setup for MMM this year, completely online. Saved hundreds of dollars in the process, as well, and they have good gear.
Of all the equipment you will purchase as a recreational skier, I would rank boots as the most important gear, by far. make sure your boots kick butt, fit right, and have the right flex for your style of skiing. Im really pumped about my intuition liners and cant wait to try them out. Skis are important, but with todays technology, you can find lots of skis that will take you from groomers to crud to bumps to pow without missing a beat. poles are mostly pointless for a recreational skier, frankly, and can often encourage poor form and bad habits in beginners.
Are you a regular at Sun Valley? that is a great place.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

buy new boots. get skis, bindings, poles on ksl. find skis that will either fit your boots or that have a pre drilled mounting plate so you don't have to deal with unfilled holes (Originally posted by Goatnapper'96 View Post
). after base repair/wax/grind you will still be way below retail.

What DDD said about the Canyons. It is one of my favorite places to board. It is expensive though. I usually only went when I got a discount or free pass (Warren Miller movies) since I always bought a season pass to Brighton. But with that price you get a ton of terrain to ride. That place is huge and there are some long runs. The last time I was there we worked from north to south. I was feeling it by the time we got to Tombstone. After 3 or 4 trips up that lift my quads were toast. The Canyons definitely has that resort feel to it. It's a destination ski hill for sure and has been trending that way for awhile. It makes me wonder what that lease agreement with Vail will do to it.Originally posted by Goatnapper'96 View Post"Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

I was a ski instructor at the Canyons from 2000-2003 so I know the mountain pretty well (although I haven't been back since and it's probably changed quite a bit). Canyons is great for the beginner to intermediate skier. If I ski in Park City, I would rather be at PCMR. If in Utah, I would rather go to Little Cottonwood.Originally posted by Goatnapper'96 View Post
I would echo the others' comments re: the importance of boots above all other equipment. Most people do not know how to properly fit a ski boot. It should be much tighter than common sense dictates. IMO it would be a mistake to purchase boots without being able to a) try it on before or b) be able to send it back for a refund.

Im surprised you feel that way re: beginners. I have found it to be pretty sparse when it comes to green runs. i took my sister there last season and she was disappointed in the lack of beginner stuff. Not sure what the run is called but it is at the top of the gondola and right off the trail there is a practice run with gates. She would take around 40 minutes to get down one green run and i kept skiing through the gates over and over. Kind of fun, i guess.Originally posted by Lost Student View PostFitter. Happier.
