Head SuperShape Magnums binding change advice

[jim-ratliff]

Welcome back Ron.? ?

Be not concerned that I plan to revise any of my colors around my skis.? Lime Green I ain't.
Fashion or color conscious I isn't either.

[Gary]

Yes Ron, welcome back, you were missed.....well except for your resurgence of the "pee story".... 

Jim, when in Whistler I saw the perfect combination for you being used by their ski school instructors.

They wore tan pants with Robin egg blue jackets....very sharp....you could pull it off. If only I had the softwear that could change clothing colors from a picture....darn.

Still if you like lime green, Ron's patent rights expire this summer on that color!

[Ron]

this is true, I bought the green and tan Patigonia jacket/pants this winter and then the lime green glen plaid pants at the end of the season so who knows what I will wear I am on the hunt for light blue pants, so let me know if anyone sees some!!

[jim-ratliff]

Please be advised that I announced my new color was lime green a few weeks back.......

Darn, I've been around you guys too much.? I got the bindings for the SuperShape Magnums and mounted them (no innuendo intended, Lynn) and these are the prettiest skis I have ever owned.? I may need to have a sex change operation just so I can properly describe my feelings.?

Anyway, so I'm at the ski shop across the street yesterday and there is this gorgeous Kjus jacket at 40% off, all white with black and lime green accent stripes.? It is just lovely, would go great with my black pants and excellent with the skis.? The only thing that saved me was the fact that Ron had already claimed Lime Green.

Help me guys, let me not become like Ron.? I don't need another jacket!!? ?   I think I need an intervention.

Ron, when does your stuff go on sale this summer?? ??

[Gary]

Well, mounting will have a WHOLE new meaning if you do have the sex change operation (yes there is a technical aspect here) AND not to mention your wardrobe. We at RS just kinda go with the flow Jim.....or is it Jamie.. Whatever you'll be calling yourself.....it's all good cause if the estrogen get's your emotional juices flowing and that special part of your brain to be thinking clothes, then by all means.....the "ends to any means!"

Still, those are beauties of skies and the matching binding, you'll be a photo magnet on the mountain. Having said that, go back and buy that jacket....Ron's green is only envy at this point for as many styln' points you'll get if you buy that jacket,.....and with those skis....(hands cover mouth) "oh my gosh, it's simply you"!? ?

Best,
Gary

Look out Ron.....you AND Lynn have created Fashion Monsters!

[Ron]

JIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  YOU MUST GO BUY THAT JACKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU MUST
YOU MUST
YOU MUST
YOU MUST

Kjus stuff is fanatastic, you will love it and you can match that with simple black soft shell pants and play it down. go for it. At 40% off, you could wear this season and sell for almost the same $.

Ron who also is our countries "Secretary of Spend" speaks with wisdom and the beneficial cross use of ski jackets. (no not cross dress...although his white pants....)  making use of those fabulous ski coats for spring and fall weather makes spending the bucks more justifiable.

send photos of the jacket Jim!

In keeping with the original subject, the Kjus jacket would match the bindings perfectly.? The circle is complete

Hey Jim...nice jacket....I personally like the Black well yes, it has some orange in it. 

But just thinking the white jacket will be a food, dirt and grease magnet...so all those chicken wings, chocolate syrup slushies and hot dogs with the works you consume each day, may end making that jacket look like a bad trip in the 60'S! 

They do make a superb product I'm sure very easy to clean....

Now if the price is right....pull the trigger!

Best,
Gary

I don't know Jim, if the man with continency problems begins to warn you about keeping your white jacket clean, perhaps you should take heed!!!

[Ron]

As much as i love Kjus, I am not too crazy about this one. Look for a "Formula" model. The black is classic but they make an awesome red one too.? FWIW, remember I had a kjus white jacket and it wasn't hard to keep clean, The fabric is awesome and cleans beautifully!

if you are really interested, here is the info on Ski Haus in Steamboat, they may still have some left. They were 30% off and they could be even more now.  http://www.skihaussteamboat.com/#

Darn, team.

Two days ago you're all encouraging me to "pull the trigger".

Now you are telling me I need to unpull the trigger.

Makes it hard for a guy to please his compadres? ?

[Ron]

the Formlula is an excellent jacket and sinc you are not the "Ron" type of skier who constantly changes jackets; it's worth the price. The Formula is a classic. Also look for the Descente World cup jackets. Although gary and i have them, they look much different so no worries there. descente isn't as good as the Kjus but very close and it's built incredibly well and well appointed with great technical and comfor features.

My jacket is only marginally newer than my boots. I did upgrade pants this year. My old Burton Biolights were starting to show their age.
