    The fail is in the fact that he had to Google how to take a screenshot.

    lol, nice ad for evo gear on there
    Our world is full of surrender at the first sign of adversity, do not give up when the challenge meets you, meet the challenge. Through perseverance comes the rewards, the rewards that make life so enjoyable.

    Seize the day, trusting little in the future.

    if you want something, go after it. if you want to screw someone over, look DEEP in your heart and realize Karma is a bitch

    i would assume its "expert" level skis topping out at 180cm. that's way too long for an expert.
    Big skis from small companies at Backcountry Freeskier

    Actually bc.com profits from the ad as well, so I guess they were hedging.

    Basically we are collecting revenue from these ads-- which gets put back into the biz, helps us extend our brands ect. Think about it this way-- the ads are relevant to our audience as well--- You are on a ski site, and see an ad for a ski site.

    The concept of transparency is something that BC believes very strongly in... the tramdock example isn't the best example of that, but is along those lines. It's not like we are living in the retail stone-age anymore... customers are savvy enough to search around for the best price/inventory/return policy/ect. We might as well take advantage of the high traffic these sites produce to generate revenue via ads-- i.e get paid to redirect the customer rather then have google do it for them.

    Check out the screenshot below for an example of this in action. Here is the link if you want to check it yourself...
