Agree. Peaks resorts took a big step last year in that direction with their $499 pass, which gives you Mt. Snow, Attitash, Wildcat, and Crotched. Granted not all VT resorts, but all within striking...

I believe they just sold the shop.

Second the recommendation. Solid shop and Mike Desanti's tunes are the best.

Sorry to hear. I figured pm gear skis were safe around these parts. It's time I dig up my lock... Good luck with the search and destroy.

If I had to pick one for each radius from Boston:
Within 1 hour: Wachusett
Within 2 hours: Cannon
Within 3 hours: Killington
Within 4 hours: Mad River Glen (not a great place for beginners)...

Life can be so ruthless at times but it can never take away the love ones have for each other and you guys surely seem to have that for each other. Stay strong. vibes.

Well, wouldn't that be sweet!

Good point, I just checked and Marker provides a 1 or 3 years warranty depending on the retailer. I've been leaning towards the Salomon so that probably seals the deal. Thanks all!

definitely Salomon STH 12, that was just a brain fart...

Those are pretty much my two best options at my local shop to mount onto Bro 164s. The Salomon are $20 more mounted than the Griffon. Me, 138lbs and 5'10". Is one really better than the other for...

Can I pay in cash, well hidden in an envelop? What's the country code for Nigeria again?

Thanks again for all the tips. Ended up demoing some awesome (Bro 164, Dynastar Legend Pro Rider) and not so awesome (Atomic Sugar Daddy, Mojo 94, Mythic Rider) midfat skis. Conditions were pretty...

35-40 minutes from downtown. Very light traffic patterns even at rush hour. Alta/Snowbird close enough to grab lunch in the car while going back downtown to pick up a friend to ski the second part...

Thanks. Not too worried, couldn't be any more icy than NE can get. Kind of a bummer not to have snow in the forecast while coming to Utah but so it goes sometimes...

Any area at Snowbird that hold up better than others in these iffy conditions? Will be there starting Sunday.

Thanks for the recommendation. Will definitely do that on my Alta excursion day.

Will definitely keep that in mind. Thanks.

Again reading comprehension, it's a useful tool.



A midfat 90-100 waist is perfect for most powder or non-powder days in NE. That's the versatility I need, anything wider is overkill 99% of...

Did you also fail reading comprehension? :rolleyes:

I "complained" about $50 being charged by Snowbird's own rental shop not WPS. Learn to read.

As I said I would support WPS if I had the use...

I guess you missed this part:



If you have suggestions for good places to rent rather than a useless blanket statement, I'm all ears.

Will be there on Sunday. Definitely going to try as many as I can.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm looking to purchase. So far, I really liked the Line Prophet 90 that I tried at Jay but I want to demo a few more midfats.

I've done both in the past but these days with almost every airline charging you extra both ways to check your luggage, it's becoming a real drag and an additional expense. Then there's the added...

Thanks for the heads-up. More likely to rent from them if I can swap throughout the day though $50 is kind of steep to demo imo.

If I lived on the West Coast I would seriously consider Wasatch...

I'll be in Utah for a few days and don't care to drag my skis along this time as I'm planning a new purchase at the end of the season. Any place you guys would recommend for an early Sunday morning...

I could live with a new pair of skis.

they are the new owners of Bob Smith & Wilderness House in Boston.

can anyone say: scambaiting?
