SKI Racing Glove Questions Are IN!!!! (sleepless nights are coming)
Login
When my wife tells me we are going to a party, it's always reassuring to know there will be some skiers/boarders there. Makes it much easier to avoid talking politics. My disdain for the current administration is not so controversial nowadays, but in the past it's made for some heated moments.

I think it'd be more accurate to say that I'm wearing them "out" rather than "in", they're going to need replacing before my next trip!. They're just sooooo comfortable and I love them.
When it comes to friends who ski or don't ski it's my life's work to pursuade all those that I love to start skiing!
Finding how comfortable wool blend socks can be year round, is an expensive discovery. I prefer wool blend ankle socks in the summer though, as the ski socks get some funny looks when worn with shorts.

Dave, Bandit and Trencher,
Normality.....now we can have a great debate over that!
Seems psychiatrists do not consider thinking about skiing in June and July normal! Seems some people would consider people who are in front of a screen "chatting" about skiing in Summer,,well a bit bizzar!
Just warning Tony that soon he will have to explain to. mother, wife, father some things about his addiction! I know my parents thought I was a bit "nuts" going off in a blizzard at 5 AM! My wife initially thought it was "different" to sleep on top of a mountain (in winter) just to get first tracks. I know my boss found it strange that I did not accept a promotion ( with greater prestige, more money, car and more problems)!
So what id "normal"!!!!
Yes Bandit my reservations are made for Utah already!

Caron-a,
Wearing same socks all year?????
or wearing ski socks in Summer!
I was not aware that you had to "wear in" ski socks! Mine come all ready "fitted"!
Caron, however your comment about socks allow me to pass along another tip.
This Summer I have discover a "secret" that many women know! Are you aware of these very thin socks that just go over ankles! Many women wear them for tennis or when the change from 3" shoes to running shoes when walking to work!
What does this have to do with skiing!
In my case after I ski hard for 4-5 days I get just below my ankle in the inside part a "raw" spot! It becomes sore and after one week of continuos skiing I can feel every set edge I do! I have learned to place a small square plaster/bandage in this area before hard long skiing!
These very thin short socks do wonders! I recommend them to racers and skiers who ski a great deal! Also in the Spring your boots get, "compressed". That is the inside foam becomes "thinner",, thus you feel that your feet are less "tight"! These socks also help get a better late skiing feel!
Try it.
Do you have cold weather in your area! I will wear my ski socks to see Sir Paul tonight!

Do you;
plan your ski holidays in July - no, long before then!
visit every ski shop as you travel - I often wander around the resorts just to browse
try to buy that 6th pair of skis - I am on my 2nd set of skis, so some way to go yet
have long long dreams about skiing and wake up in a sweat - actually, no
consider changing jobs so that you have more time skiing - absolutely
wear you ski gloves while raking leaves,,just to "break in" gloves once you have spread non-toxic, animal friendly cream - nope
begin wearning your ski boots in August - I wear my boots for a week before I ski around the house
begin to make a list of friends that ski and that do not ski - mentally, probably yes
think of buying a car with folding back seat for extra skis - already thinking about a roof rack, or changing for an estate car next time
