The "I need to brag about a gear purchase" thread
Here's my new skis. I posted about them right after I bought them but now they're in my hot little hands. These were part of a test fleet sent to a ski shop in colorado. They only have 1 day on them and I got them for $525 with bindings. Photo op over and now my "fatties" are going to sleep until we get some powder or slush. I'm scouting for some used Head SuperShape Rally's so if anyone gets a lead on any please shoot me a PM. Thanks

Because @Mrs. 53 has stated she will not ski with me IF I wear my "Citroen" (pretty bold yellow) colored Marmot ski pants with my Blue Grey jacket, I got this from @SkiEssentials today.
She has no excuses now besides being bored on the bunny slopes
Here it is!

Always a worry when you can't try it on. I am right between a L and an XL and went for the large. It says it has a relaxed fit. I can always wear this one for "warmer" weather and my Spyder for the colder weather with more layering.
I would not say I am a Volkl guy as I don't have Volkl skis... I don't have ANY skis yet, but that will be corrected prior to December 11th

Result: 238 days
should be a day or two to use em'
Well, my statement was a bit self serving... if @MountainMonster is pulling out the powder boards I am too, cuz we are usually skiing at the same area. I like fresh snow.
Here is my purchase I need to brag about. only $100 on Fleabay and the calibration seems to be right on. I had to build my own tilt vise. I just copied what VSS makes. I love having full access to a Machine Shop. now I'll be able to Test all my vintage bindings in the comfort of my own garage.
I would like to start a thread all things Vermont Ski Safety binding Release Calibrator. what would be the best Location? I learned to run one of these in the early 80's and the re is a great training video on their website but I'm sure I'll have questions for some of the more experienced users.

TOTAL SCORE.
Thank you @TheBestSkier and Colorado Freeride Systems for the Antero II jacket, base layer and Bross 3 mid-layer/jacket. Great quality, great service and great deal. Complications are part of life, we had one but you guys resolved it like champs.

may not be the best place to post this.
but for those of you within striking distance of Whistler if you really want to brag about gear purchases your best opportunity in this region is next weekend's annual Turkey sale
deals on everything and in Canadian dollars. have felt like bragging every year I've gone

Ski Diva Lizzy and I went to the semi-annual Chelsea Repfest. This is the Ottawa area sales rep sale of their samples. The Fall sale is more ski type stuff. Lots of Nordica and Blizzard skis. Lots of Bergman, Quartz and other high end clothes. Lole, Giro and Sugoi were there too.
I picked up a new pair of LEKI carbon fibre poles in 42". No need to shorten! Perfect.
Also picked up a floor bicycle tire pump. I have one at home, not one at the cottage where the mountain bike is. So for $20!!
Head rep had a few Supershapes and one pair of Absolute Joys. Too short for me. But he and I going to have a talk about skis to demo.
Ran into a kid (like 30 now) that I taught. He's going for his level 4 in the next few years.
