OK ... just spent two days in the park and my two big toes look like they've been smashed with a hammer. They didn't hurt during the day cause they go numb after about 3 runs but daaaaamn do they hurt now. Anybody ever have this before??? What can I do???
Also, looking into new boots ... anybody have any suggestions. Currently riding Atomic R:10's but after seeing these toes ... I'm thinking about chucking em for some 1080 Pro Models or Line Transfers. Anybody have any suggestions???

your boots are too big or you have an unusually large big toe... get it punched out by a boot fitter first. it might save you from buying a new pair of boots - they'll be able to tell you.

It also happens if you are in teh backseat a lot or land backseat a lot. My first two years of skiing i lost both my big toenails both years. It blows ass.

Well shit ... that sucks ... sounds like I'm on my way to painful-toenail-land very soon. How long am I out of the park if I end up losing these little bastards???

just cut your toes off...problem solved

If you get a black toe just get a hot paper clip and burn through it to get rid of the blood and the pressure under the nail it also helps it heal faster and the nail to fall off. You can also drill a hole, whatever. It shouldnt keep your from skiing.

And your toes are cold after 3 runs?! Thats not right dude, sounds like your boots are too small for you. I've heard Atomic boots are supposed to be comfy, so something must be wrong. Get them checked out at a ski shop. Scotch tape your toe nails on, that should also help.

boots too big, and landing backseat, makes your toes slam into the front of your boot, if your boots fit right, they wont havt the room to move and crunch

Replace the stock foot beds with some decent ones..custom if you can afford it. The extra arch support raises your foot and pulls your toes back a bit from the end of the boot, giving them some breathing room...the result is warmer less painful toes.
Oh..i last season i lost both my big toenails, this year i put in 'superfeet' and my toes are 100% fine.

yah, my toes dont bother me when im skiing but after taking my boots off they're blakc, but still dont hurt, it's strange. Ive got a black big toe, two black middle toes, and one toe between my big and middle toes has been missing since skiing this summer

Cut your toenails, having them too long can break them, ......

check out a shop..they usually will have some good advice for your problem. i got my black toenails after landing inn the back seat a couple times. but when you put your boots on, really stomp your heal into the back of the boot, and tighten the buckle thats on the bottom part of your boot but closest to your heal, this really helps. your feet may get a little cold, but it helps the toenails

i've ripped off a couple of toe nails skiing as well. it sucks, and can take like a month before the toe nail finally came off. but i got better boots and that made a huge difference. but as a result of ripping the toe nails off i fucked up the cells that grow you toe nails, so i had to have a surgey thing where they cut down the sides of my toes and toe nail and put in acid to kill the cells, so now i have thinner big toe nails.

Theyre probably too small if they go numb after 3 runs.
