I undertook two of Philpug's recent recommended projects this weekend and am better prepared for the coming season because of it. The six pair 1" PVC ski rack now hangs in my garage and last year's 30.00 tuning bench (Epic posting) was created and used to do a great deal of waxing today. No waxing of topsheets ocurred however. Gotta offer the project engineer a couple scotch's of his choice at the Boat for his design expertise.
Saturday morning was the highlight however. After many years absent, the Minneapolis Ski & Snowboard Expo returned this year and I was down there to visit. A small show it was (we are fly-over country after all). I visited the Head booth, (the more I ski Heads the more I like the line) the Dynastar booth (they've always got some leading edge stuff) and then I walked around into the next aisle to the Elan/Dalbello both and ran into the original madman himself.
Who's manning the Elan booth in flyover country, non other than Glen Plake himself. Got to shake hands, shoot the breeze for a couple minutes. What a treat, the guy is truly a skiing addict and a great "front-man" for our sport. I wish I had my camera along.
