    Default ski boot ads

    In 1970, this was risqué

    We had that Lange poster hanging in our house for years. I suffered through numerous pairs of those boots and bruised shins because of it.

    I may have to ski this winter. Didn't see the slopes one time last winter.....

    If I weren't a cyclist I'm 99% sure I'd be a ski bum. The cycling thing hit me first. My first trip to real mountains was when I was about 12 and I was in love. Fortunately I was already obsessed with bicycles.

    I think my boots are Lange.

    Outward appearance is no guarantee of skiing ability. Starting young is the single most important thing.

    Lange bang! I knew better and I still bought a pair and beat myself up.

    My shop time was the 80s and early 90s. Posters of women in lingerie and Langes, back behind the wall where the tuners worked and the good music was turned up loud.
