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. Tommy T. |

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. _ Booker C.

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