Introduction
I've been lurking here for a while, so before I posted, I thought I'd
give a short introduction. My name is Jim, and I live in Rochester, NY, home of lots of snow and small hills. I'm 50 years old, been skiing for almost 30 years. Been skiing almost everywhere in Vermont and New York, with some trips to Colorado, Utah, Tahoe and Whistler and Tremblant. As my id indicates, moguls and I don't get along, but I'll try almost anything else. I went to the local shop today to get a new pair of skis for one of my sons (I have 11 year old twin boys) and, of course, I walked out with a pair of new Volkl Supersport 5 Stars for myself (great deal... $528 including the bindings). I'm keeping my old Volants for rock skis, if my wife doesn't put them through my ears when the bill comes in. Need less to say, I am stoked for the snow to fly. We're going back to Steamboat this year, and it looks like it's shaping up to be a fantastic snow year. Ok, now I'll shut up for a while. Thanks for listening. Jim in Rochester, NY |

I looked at those myself and the cheapest I could find them was basically the same price you paid w/o bindings. It's all a matter of timing. Buy last year's remainders in early September. I got a pair of Five Stars with Marker 1200 piston bindings. $347 for the skis, $150 for the bindings. Good deals are always in season. -- //-Walt // // http://cagle.slate.msn.com/working/040514/matson.gif |

Now if we only had mountains, this would be heaven. OK, that's a slight exaggeration. Jim in Rochester, NY |

Last year's sold out here by mid-January. Couldn't find a pair with a telescope. |

OK, that's a slight exaggeration. Count your blessings. Bristol is actually not that bad. I wish I had a ski hill as good as Bristol that close. As it is Bristol is about a seven or eight hour drive, and it's probably the best place to ski within seven or eight hours of here. And. yes, I'll be spending most of this season in Michigan. My sacrifice to Ullr and Skadi. I hope you all appreciate it. -- // Walt // // There is no Volkl Conspiracy |
