yeah I'm a dher as well, will be picking up my bike in a couple of weeks, so will give you a shout for a ride in peaks or wharncliffe then mate!

doesn't look like i'm going to make it afterall, got killer man flu! will give you a shout next time something like this is on/whenever next snow falls in Shef, managed to get some decent turns last year!

so I'm out for two weeks (injured just before we are finally supposed to go touring) but drop a line, let's grab a drink at merlin's patio or something. i'll buy first round.

No ski today .. work at 2. Been out the past two days. Will be doing an AST course on the weekend. Next ski day is probably Tuesday .. will hopefully have some better snowpack by then. Got yr cell.

ok, I pinged the dude about Shore cult, so keep an eye on NS.

I'll PM you my number. sounds like we should meet for a beer.. you sound like good people.

hola. yah I also managed to grab the last pair of 08 Gotamas I could find at Whistler Village Sports. 400 clams. so far, it's been cheaper grabbing gear here in Whis than anywhere online, including TGR.. with the dropping dollar, it's all changing. hey did you & yr gf find a place .. ?

throw those park skis up on Craigslist, including Vancouver .. you should be able to move them. are you on newskoolers.com ? if not sign up, I'll invite you to The Shore cult, good people there, more park oriented, you should be able to move 'em through the site.

fyi i grabbed those Dukes today at 440. seemed to be the best deal with the dropping dollar. they are 09 Dukes so I am happy. now just to find some 08 Gotamas for 400 bucks. that would make me happy. ;p

oh -- and the Barons are a tad more plastic, toepieces it seems. they don't weigh all that much less. i'd stick with Dukes, as it looks like you gotta crank the heel on the Dukes a bit more than usual.

well, the Barons were 400, the Dukes 500. I've got a line on some Dukes for 400.. the difference is DIN... the Barons only go to 12. Dukes to 16. I don't know how strong the DIN is on these bindings, so I'd prefer the Dukes .. but if you go into Excess, they will drop the Dukes down to 440 with a bit of sweetness. That's not bad for Whistler.

thx for the note there on Xcess selling Dukes ..
