    Tech/shop in Purgatory/Durango that will work for whiskey?

    Loyal followers of my rediculously long ski search thread will know that I recently got a great pair of skis at a fantastic price from one of the best denizens of TGR. They are, however, in need of a tune.

    As might be readily apparent, I am somewhat cash-poor... though relatively whiskey-rich. Does anyone know a tech or shop in Durango or Purgatory that might be willing to tune my skis for a $50 bottle of Woodford Reserve?

    most shops operate on attempt at positive cash flow
    they tend to underpay techs
    most techs like whiskey

    This is almost like a moth to a flame. Woodford Reserve might round out my Whiskey stash. What time frame are you looking for as I'm slammed? Do a search for another local who works at 2nd Ave Sports, ZomblibulaX.

    We may both be in luck. The earliest I could drop them off would be Feb. 22nd. If so, I'd need to pick them up by the end of the day on Feb. 26th. We might end up coming up there the week after though, in which case I'd drop them off on March 1st and scoop them up March 4th. I know the weekends suck for asking for this sort of thing but, that's the way it goes.

    Thanks, man. If I can't find someone in Purg/Durango, I'll be taking you up on that!

    Hey man,

    I've got dates picked for my Purgatory trip. I'd be dropping the skis off 2/22 and picking them up by the end of the day on 2/25, at the latest.

    Think we can work something out?

    Well, sounds like Alpinord might be too busy right now; and I'm trying to fly rather than drive, so if that happens I won't be going through Santa Fe.

    Anyway, I'm going to bump this thread again to see if there are any techs in need of a bottle of good whiskey.

    Looks like Meadow Skipper is busy this weekend too.

    Last bump before I head up there...
