Tragedy at Snowbird, Today, 02-20-04

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.

I've had stuff like that fixed for about $100 and about 1 week.

Is 1 week how long the repair took, or how long it lasted?

If you'll pay for shipping, I'll take 'em off your hands. I'll use 'em
to make a fire sacrifice to the snow gods.

I think some people saw the repair during the Oooootah invasion. I think I
still have the ski. It was a worse shot than that one. It did get fixed. I
can show it to you if I can find it.

They just have to do it in layers and let them cure in between. Strangely
enough I did it at snowturd too. Somewhere skiers right of Gad II after that
first pitch in the liftline.

Looks like a good week coming up. Maybe we should have an Alta Java one
morning.

How long it took. It lasted until I quit skiing the skis.

I took it to a ski shop on 7200 S. Way east. In a shopping center. Seems
like it was about a mile or so west of Wasatch Blvd. on the South side. It
was similar to that one in the pic only deeper and longer. I was pretty
resigned to needing new skis when it happened, but the repair worked.

I'll take 'em, and pay you and pay for shipping.

How much ?
