We could look at the photos and give an opinion if they could be done by an amateur(sp?) or would need professional repairs to be done. My experience with gouges is that home repairs usually work ok if the gouges are cleaned out carefully before the ptex is dripped into the gouge. There is no way to color match, if the skiis are bright yellow, for example, but who cares as long as the bottoms are reasonably smooth. I highly recommend getting the Tognar catalog, or at least viewing it on the web. It will give you a good idea of what tools are available for making repairs, and you can get somewhat of a feeling for what repairs might actually cost the shop doing the repairs. Thank you for the offer! I just dragged the skis into the living room to prep them for their first gig as models ... but upon closer inspection, the damage really isn't that bad; not nearly as deep as I'd remembered. The S.O.'s are the ones with worse damage, and he says he isn't bothered by it, so I guess I have nothing to report. Hope this helps, stay away from the rocks at Keystone and Breck. :-) I guess it just surprised me that Keystone, tourist mecca and hence presumably posh and protective (go alliteration, go!) would bust up my skis, while A-Basin left no more of a mark than would a chamois cloth. I guess that goes to prove what they say about assumption! It makes an ass out of me and umption! The only appropriate assumption about Keystone is that it will be icy and crowded. 9/10 times this will hold true. Hmm, have I mentioned how much I dislike Keystone? Poor trail layout, bulletproof conditions all the time. The only saving graces or them are the Outback (which takes forever and a day to get to) and night skiing (which I do once or twice a year). I really only bought my KAB pass for the A and B parts... -- Chester Bullock, Ethical, custom website hosting, design and programming Tenxible Solutions, http://www.tenxible.com Web Based Autoresponder and DRIP system, http://www.toolsre.com AIM: tenxible YahooIM: ccb247 |

Look at it this way, now you don't have to worry any more about when you get the first gouge on the skiis. It is sort of like the first ding on a new car. :-) Bob Hofmann |

My fiancé is male and probably would prefer to be known as such =) (No extra e on the end.) Oops, my bad, I had German in HS. But in my defense, check out dictionary.com. Here's the listing: 5 entries found for Fiancée. fi·an·cé ( P ) Pronunciation Key (fän-s, f-äns) n. A man to whom a woman is engaged to be married. Now the first line was something like 30 point and the second line was around 12 point. I didn't notice the missing e on the second line. snoig |

Well, I wouldn't assume anything else (you mentioned something about ass, u and me in another part of this thread). As far as spelling goes, either spelling is correct. I do use a spell checker and checked the facts on that one just to be sure 8^). snoig |
