I went to a new ski shop with my wife yesterday. They had a good selection, but the sales guy just wasn't that into it. He showed me a few skis and was pretty brief. Oh well. Looks like we'll take a ride to the place we purchases my wife's skis from.

The prices seemed a bit hight too. They wanted $839 for a pair of K2 Apache Recons with m12 bindings. I've seen a few of the shops on the Barking Bear forums blowing them out for prices in $500's. Even with shipping, I'd come out way ahead of the game.

I live in Connecticut...we haven't seen snow for well over a month down here.    However, Mt. Snow got 8" of snow Friday. We can make it up to Mt. Snow in about 2 hours and 15 minutes. I was laughing to myself this weekend. I've seen landscaping crews out doing spring clean up and spreading mulch. You go 2 hours north, and they have about 2' of snow on the ground.
