SUPERCOMP that's the name I couldn't remember.

Not me in photo, but funny, looks like he's about to crash.

One of the worst things for your knees is a boot that is canted forward when you are on a flat or low angle slope. Common with most plastic boots.

Also sitting back when you ski.

I had a pair, probably mid 1980's the original inner boot was a lace up wool liner. The inner boot you have might have come from their next boot which was a leather boot with a taller plastic cuff, might have been called a Merrell Extreme, everything was called extreme in the late 1980's.

Another vote here for it's your technique not the gear. Yes, bigger skis and boots will make down hill easier, it just depends what experience your looking for. I ski at what is considered a steep X- country area, Crosscut out of Bozeman, my favorite ski is a Rossignol WC C1 classic using an X10 car...

4 or 5 days a season will get you nowhere. You need to get on them 4 or 5 days a week.

I learned how to ski in Yellowstone. If you are working out of Mammoth the snow pack is thinner with lots of elk tracks and beds to ski through, you will need a ski with metal edges, and for a beginner get fish scales. Forget all the camber talk. Something around 60mm-80mm wide under foot. The wider...
