Heh! I left out a few details!
Temps: 13F when we got there, 20F when we left.. Decent breeze most of the day, so I'd say around 0F with a windchill. It was cold! Packed powder though! Best man made I've ever made turns in. Not sure if it was those fan guns, the cold weather or a combo of both. Regardless, it rocked!
Boots: They fit great! Stiffer than my old purple slippers. Man, I can crank out some turns with those Hot Rods now. I can really lay into them good when making some longer GS turns.
New poles: Light! And bendy when I click out of my bindings.
New Burton mitts: Love em'! Burton makes some quality gear.
Twin Tips: Wow! A LOT different from my Hot Rods! These things turn like slalom skis. I can rip out some fast turns on steep pitches like nothing. They get a little washy when I get cranking at speed. I think a lot of how they are has to do with them being mounted a bit more forwards than a traditional mount. They have a ton of pop to them. It's like they're spring loaded. I did a really quick 180 of a small lump of snow. I can't wait to get them in the park. Mt. Snow had two really nice parks open, but ironicly, we went in one in the AM when I was on the Hot Rods. I'll test them in the parks next week. I can't wait to try the twins in the woods or in the moguls...I have a feeling they may be good in some other areas aside from the parks based on thier quickness and eagerness to turn on a dime.
