fast and discreet boot repair?

Who would have ever thought? Not only is TAY a great resource for BC skiing related topics, you can get good lessons in life matters as well. Thanks for you advice Mack, but I think I like Snowbell's idea better. Except I am going to pawn off the stuff I wanted to upgrade.... and let her fix her own boots.

Honestly, I told her last night. I started with the back rub, and she said that it wasn't happening. I told her that's not what I want, so she asked"what did you do?" She took it quite well.... the news of her tongues that is.

Looks like Dave it is. Thanks guys.

I've just gotta ask - why'd you do it? I'm sure there's an obvious explanation that I'm just missing...

and she reads TAY how often.....?

I was trying to cobble together a more practical pair of boots. I am tired of trekking around the back country in the equivalent of 1980's moonboots. I am not the sure footed billy goat some guys are. I'd go AT, but I like the ride down too much. When I get with Dave, I am going to see if he can hook me up as well.

A shank, toe box, welts, and a vibram soles would be nice.


She doesn't lurk, so I am cool.

I'm on tele gear, so can't comment with too much authority, but there are several lines of really robust AT boots coming out this year that have been well reviewed by folks who like the ride down a lot... May be worth looking into.

Sorry to not be more clear. I am looking for an alternative to soft snowboard boots.

Yes, there are some really good advances in the AT technology. Which is exactly what I am pushing for in the snowboard boot market. Wishing a reputable company would realise it isn't all about  ''check my steeze rippin the park yo''.

I went up interglacier with Dr. Bones(greg) about a month ago, and he was rocking some marker bindings and some big stiff AT boots. I forget what the boot brand was, but man could he ride!!! Judging by watching him, you would never have known he was on an AT setup. Then again, he looked like he could have done just as well in bed-slippers and waterskis.

I am not so sure anything that burly would be good for a snowboard though. I have tried my Lowa structura lights in walk with the hinged tongues and it was still a little to stiff for me.. That was a while back though. My riding skills may have advanced to intermediate by now. Maybe I should give them another try.
