Heh, sorry. I spent a lot of yesterday in our CAD lab digitizing a topo map and making a TIN of it... that stuff messes with your mind, man. Plus I haven't been skiing since I got my new boots because I don't have a frickin' car here. Bah. Jon "Bitchy" Bond I don't know where you are but the fact that you put boots over a car is cool!

Fred Boston. In college - 'rents won't let me have the 3rd car thats basically sitting around at home. I was tempted to buy a beater, but insurance, parking ($600 a semester!!!!!) and so on basically killed that idea. Plus the thought of dealing with it at 5AM in the winter on a long, possibly snowy trip... nah. I did, however, put my mountain bike totally in front of my car. That one cost me about 3 grand - and 90% of it was sponsorship discount or employee discount Jon "Spends too much money on sports equipment" Bond |

So, I understand you car situation! I avoided renting them due to the hassle of parking. I did get to extend my business stays to include skiing at Sunday River and Killington. While they were not the same as the West they were very enjoyable. Don't they have bus service to those places? IFred |

I've never dealt with ski companies personally, but I have dealt with a bunch of bike companies - and its amazing how much they'll help out. Jon Bond Just worked for a friend of mine for a three year old ski that he did simlar (but less horrific) damage to. Called up and they (different company) sent him a new single ski -- same year, same topskin etc out of a warehouse in OOtah. Worth a try. Dave |

Well, sort off. Looks like a complete loss...irreparable. Other than breaking a few pairs of skis, this is about the worst damage I have ever done to a ski base/edge. Volkl Vertigo G-3 (191cm) with about 20 days on them. This is a 6" (approx) core shot, via the ski edge. Damage occurred on the Cirque Traverse (rock city) at Snowbird. WARNING, referenced photos are very nasty, graphic, etc., etc., etc. http://www.xmission.com/~hound/astro...damage_001.htm http://www.xmission.com/~hound/astro...damage_002.htm -Astro Coulda been your head - good thing the ski was there for you. P.S., FOR SALE: 1 pair of Volkl Vertigo G-3's, cheap. 1 half pair? |
