............... I bought a new pair of leather ski boots from German Manfred Schober's ski shop for $50 to use with my rented wooden skis. ..............
Ahh yes. Good ole double laced boots that need to be relaced every run... cubco bindings, wood skis with P-tek bottom and segmented edges. Torque your knee down on the fall line to hold an edge. Dem was da daze.

After a few years with alpine gear this brought back the fun of skiing. With interest. Much more ski feeling!
But next week I will go with super forgiving irons with plenty of offset (high plastic shoes and brand new carving skis) - in Steamboat Springs. I had to try them carving skis sooner or later. And getting old and lazy too....
