I believe you! You should sell the moments flat at $450 shipped. Someone here will buy them for that.

We'll find the Elans. Which size do you prefer?

Count me in for contribution

**mookieman** · 01-12-2023, 11:34 PM

One more here for the contribution fund! You sir are a ski legend. Enough said.

**PARIdaho** · 01-12-2023, 11:49 PM

164cm

**RAB3** · 01-13-2023, 01:26 AM

Count me in too

**optics** · 01-13-2023, 08:33 AM

PAR, are you sure about the sizing? Word is these ski short. Just don’t want you to end up with something that feels like a 15x and unhappy in the other direction…

Still hard to believe but have met and had some great things happen in my life as a result of being a skier. 60yrs skiing and still love it. Have a beer in the bar at Silver Mt a little earlier in the day than before but still skiing down the backside before the lifts turn and down to the freeway at Lookout and hitch a ride back to bar-even got picked up once by the local beer distributor and guess where he was headed, yep, Lookout bar. Very convenient.

edit: derrr... noticed you started the other thread

**optics** · 01-13-2023, 09:06 AM

yeah maybe so!

PAR, if you're good with the 172, DM me your delivery address.

**bfree** · 01-13-2023, 09:12 AM

Given the excellent deal found in the other thread, it looks like PAR can sell these for market price and still come out ahead, but I'll chip in a couple bucks anyways, it was a great idea.

**N1CK.** · 01-13-2023, 09:19 AM

this is so cool.

let's loop @ptex in .. I bet we can get PARIdaho something he'd love.

**cspringsposer** · 01-13-2023, 09:34 AM

Are you coordinating and collecting Optics? If so, could you provide your PayPal or Venmo so those that want to contribute can shoot you some dollars?

Really cool idea for a great cause. Thanks for making this happen.

**Brasso** · 01-13-2023, 09:39 AM

Count me in. If I'm still skiing at 80, something went right along the way.

**optics** · 01-13-2023, 09:55 AM

I sent ptex an email.

Here's how I would like to see this go...

-We ship PAR the setup he wants...if we can rally enough $, we just cover that cost in full.
-We run a little "who deserves" thread and send someone PAR's wildcat setup.

That seems easier and cleaner, and we get TWO wins out of it for mags...

I'm cool to coordinate $ when we nail down what we're doing.

**Percy Rideout** · 01-13-2023, 10:12 AM

beautiful thread with well intentioned goals. Where do i send venmo?

**PARIdaho** · 01-13-2023, 10:17 AM

174cm or 172

I think we can raise the funds. Would only take 20 or so mags to pitch in 25 or 30 each. If we do raise the funds, I'm all for letting him keep his Wildcats to sell them for whatever market price ends up being or whatever discounted price Par would sell to someone in the community. Seems more altruistic to just fund the skis with no expectation of anything in return.

That's just my thoughts, but I'm not a dentist so I could be completely out of line

Honestly was thinking something similar. Happy to pitch in.

**oetk2** · 01-13-2023, 04:27 PM

I'm in to help out. Great idea

**PARIdaho** · 01-13-2023, 07:26 PM

This is so unreal, initially I thought you were kidding/scamming me. If this flys I will happily exchange my skis (Moments) for what I want. I would get the skis I want and someone you guys pick would get a pair of Moment Wildcat 108's, 184cm, with or without bindings. I would be happy and a TGR person you guys know would also be happy with some free skis and only have to pay for shipping.

Par, are you cool with these in the 172?

https://www.pacostruckee.com/product...ck-96-5269.htm

Assuming yes, PM me your address and we'll get them to you.

Do you have an easy way to move the wardens over?

**Zhem** · 01-13-2023, 07:49 PM

This is so freaking awesome, count me in to pitch in as well.

optics. I would like to do this, money makes me hesitant. I paid 699 for Moments direct from Reno. Hows this: the Elans you found are fine 172cm, I take the Warden bindings off the Moments and chg the new owner of the skis (or your group) $100.00 to ship the Moments and probably 30 left to moount the bindings. ??
