Jim....the straw the broke the camels back...Ok no caddy work for you!

Michael....I'm no brilliant mathematician...but you said 3 skis...

Now in my mind...and let me be perfectly frank...

You should have no problem skiing those 70 underfoot beauties up to boot high and not hiccup!

I'm still chuckln' over the dims on the Spats, reverse camber and all....they have got to be something to ski on.

Honestly....I figure you won't even find a good reason to take the Spats out unless for our cat adventure or to laugh your butt off as I try to lay down some major High C carve lines with them on a groomer.

Still, I haven't seen a pair and shelping them to the boat is just as easy as tossing them in the car then bring em.

So...you have a midfat in your garage?

Hi Gary,

Yes, I think the schlep-ing won't be too bad. I'm taking a taxi or limo from the house to the terminal both to & fro. I'm being picked up in Denver curbside by my salesman (in a Yukon), he is dropping me at the Inn at Steamboat.

The midfat I could bring is a 183cm Monster 82 with Demo bindings, maybe Ed would like to try 'em. These are also my rock skis and good to have if coverage is thin.

Should I bring three?

Seriously Michael...bring the Progressors and the 82's.....

Powder cats...you get a pair of fatties.

I thought you had a car so bringing 3 not so bad....going by taxi or limo then being picked up, dropped off....ski bags, suitcase, boot bags...etc...

Nope...seems to me 2 pairs should do the trick and the 82's will take you knee high no problem if push came to shove.

coverage is not thin! over 30" and counting.  Still snowing.

Michael, why not ship your skis?

I could easily carry three pair there, almost no lifting on my part, and ship one pair back.

Ron, Gary do we know fur-sure what gear they will give us ????

I would bring the Spatulas fior the PowderCat Tours.  The guides might want to try them out as well.  Might make the day even more fun.
