I havent skied the keepers, unfortunately, the snow gods had different plans for me in Chile, which was a really good thing- you can't aways get what you want but you get what you need.... kinda' thing... A little more soft snow (good soft snow; not rotten) would have been nice...
The Chet's look fun, i always like to support the indies but this time, the chets just seemed like the right choice. At least my dollars will go to a small biz in Tahoe!!

yeah the tails on the 88 are not soft by any means but I would rather improve on something like the 88 that will reward balance. It's my built-in correction system,,it will automatically spank you if you get in the wrong position.... Like I sad, I have been working on correcting some muscles in my leg and hips with a therapist and have seen great progress in havng the leg track and flex much better. Before, I had real difficulty in gettng my hip to release the leg to flex, it was weird! That was causing a lot of knee pain, since we have gotten it to release, I have almost no knee pain and I didn't have the issue in my boot where my ankle wanted to splay (lifting from ankle and rotate out) out when flexing forward. It's completely gone. I just really need to continue on some things I started last season.
