I had not been skiing in over 10 years. A few weeks ago I destroyed my old, poorly stored equipment in just one day of skiing. For less than the cost of a set of bindings I was able to purchase skis, boots and bindings. The items arrived in 5 days and were tuned perfectly. I just returned from a weekend of skiing and I couldn't be more pleased with the product, the service, or the price! At lunch I happened to "park" my skis next to an identical pair, spoke with the owner of those skis and he shared my opinion of the company from which we bought them. Now, make no mistake, these aren't pretty skis. They've been around the block a time or two. But this is purely a cosmetic issue. They are as sound as any ski on the mountain...and I have more dough for lift tickets. See you on the mountain, and if you happen to run over my ski tips in the lift line, it's no problem.
