All the more reason to obtain a clue before plonking down your hard
earned money.

PS: you want *two* good skis. Preferably a matched pair.

HTH HAND.

You didn't read mine earlier posts or you wouldn't be disrespecting me,
dick?

What is it they say about the eventual proximity of a person of
questionable wisdom and his finical resources?

Alright, sorry I misspelled financial. What I'm trying to say is this:
you've shown considerable wisdom up to a point.

You've decided to start skiing. Nice choice.

You've read up on gear. Good work.

You've sought out a forum where you can get the advice of lots of peeps
with lots of experience. Very wise.

You've decided to ignore the advice that you have received. Not so
wise.

It seems to me that you're on the precipise of illustrating the old
addage, "a fool and his money are soon separated."

So do lots of people without a shred of common sense.

Hang out here for awhile. You'll discover ther are remarkably few topics on
which this group will speak with one voice. When they do, I would listen. It
could save you a lot of grief, not to mention money.

Woohoooo! Cheezwiz! How did you know I'm a chef? Now that I've been
comically berated I feel like I really belong.

But you know, I am employed by a university. I interact with dolt
Doctors and genius janitors (and visa versa) every day. I am so not
impressed by a degree.

Bottom line is... welcome to skiing. I hope you enjoy yourself as much
as I do, there's so much fun and challenge to be had. You've gotten
lots of great advice, I hope you use it to your best advantage.

Chris
