Just bought a pair of ski boots for next season! Any skiers out there? ⛷

Any tips on breaking in a new pair of boots ahead of first day on the slopes would be appreciated!

Re the breaking in - the heat molding is key. Make sure you’ve got decent insoles. I’m a fan of wearing them for 1-2h at a time a few times just around the house (obv not if you’re doing a ton of walking but like standing and flexing them while you’re working or watching TV). Sometimes you can get an early read on where your hot spots will be by doing that and get ‘em bumped out before the season even starts. HAVE FUN!

Awesome, thanks for the tips!

If they’re good boots, you don’t even have to break them in. New boots feel great.

When I bought mine, the shop did the heat molding to my feet. Cool ski tech.

JHMR is definitely top of the list for US skiing! I actually got out to Taos early season for a some laps at Sipapu, which reminded me of the hills I used to ski up in New England.

I honestly might need to consider IKON for a season, I haven’t actually given it a shot yet.

Hey all! My SO and I (gay dudes) are looking to move to CO/UT for 3-4 this winter to be close to the mountains and ski every weekend (+ plan to take a few weeks off). We’ve been looking at Aspen Snowmass mostly. Aspen itself seems to be too expensive but we found some affordable places in Basalt and El Jebel. Any tips from the group? What’s the best mountain to be on if our budget is 3500-4000ish/month, need space to WFH, want to be within 30min from slopes and be able to live our gay life?
