pielot, I thought a 6 hour round trip was doing well to get a new pair of boots.
Did you actually get the opportunity to test them whilst in Chamonix?
I think it is a strong possibility you will hear something if you we flashed even if it is a charge to your c/c from the car hire company for giving the authorities your details.

Sadly no test run due to the limited length of the leash that Mrs P had me on! But we're back in the alpes en famille in April so any adjustments can be made then, if indeed they are even required.
Was very annoyed at getting flashed. even though it was a fair cop, I'm usually pretty good at spotting the blighters - decidedly well camouflaged on the continent  . That'll learn me.

After a thorough examination  my feet were duly slid into the Nordica HotRod and the Salomon Falcon10. Interestingly the Nordicas were comfiest straight out of the box but were dismissed when it became apparent that the Salomans were causing extreme pain to the toes but were fine elsewhere and LZK had spotted an opportunity for an early morning torture session!
|
I must be missing something here, why were the Nordica's dismissed if the Salomon's were causing grief??

a) because he could cause me more pain in the salomons! 
and
b) More accurately... the salomons were a better fit (snugger - infact like a firm handshake as the feeling was described to me) in most places and held onto my heel better, but the toe area was tight. The Nordicas were comfy but more from the perspective of being a little too big in places.
The view of LZK was that the toe problem wasn't really a problem at all, but the other aspects were more important/less easy to adjust and therefore the Salomons were taken forward and adjusted accordingly. It is apparently easier to find a little more room in a tighter boot than get an oversize boot to do what it should properly.
....Hope I'm not mis-representing LZK here.. but anyway..what he did..worked.

pielot, if you were in a Swiss hire car you should be ok. I have been caught by the same camera in April - the sneeky French left it "camouflaged" in the open, on its own, just after a big speed camera warning sign - am still waiting for the fine.

pielot, Funnily enough, The Large-One has been known to rescue his own cat from the tree out the back of his old appartment, leaping from balcony to balcony, as for a speeding bullet!!!

SMALLZOOKEEPER,
Sorry then - must now accuse you of being a lightweight. I seem to remember a night, albeit a little while ago now, when you were to be found walking around a reasonabally expensive restaurant with nothing on apart from a womans 3/4 length coat having been easily led by another man (not me I would hasten to add) following a fairly moderate drinking session. Before you start - I know I'm a lightweight and I'm getting lighter the older I get unfortunately

SZK, perhaps you don't remember drinking whisky round at LZK's place back in November.
LZK and I were almost shouting over your snoring...

FAQ
and the whole lot now feeling a lot better! Job done!
.... CEM doesn't run a ski shop, there is a clicky thing in his signature as to what services he does offer. CEM sources his boots locally wheras LZK has a shop full of boots to select from.
