Thanks to The Back Country

I recently made a small order over the internet through
www.thebackcountry.net, web outlet for a Tahoe City and Truckee, CA,
retailer.

I received personal attention and assistance well beyond what my order might
have justified, resulting in a cost savings, a perfect fit for my needs and
a desire to express thanks publically.

Brian was the person with whom I dealt.

_ It's even better when you go there in person. It's a great
place to get gear. They rent EVERYTHING.... Other than
the fact they don't like silvretta and they always try
and talk me into bigger skis, it's the best BC ski shop
I've ever been to.

Second that. Good shop, good people.

BTW, maybe you should try the bigger skis - they've always given me good
advice, when I was awake enough to pay attention.

_ Well, I always start with the length they suggest when I demo
skis and then come back after half day and get one size
shorter. They've got too many chipper young ski bums and not
enough 40+ slightly overweight weekend warriors... %-).

Make that nearly 60 and I'll agree with you ...

I'm nearly 60 also. Just a little passed.
