Nothing good can possibly come of this.
It's like passing a bottle in front of a thirsty alcoholic. :nono:

I already picked up 3 pairs of skis this summer already. I DO NOT need any more.

Note to self. Need a larger pod for the road trip. :eek:

These can be fun. Don't forget our sponsors either, @SkiEssentials, @FOTM and @Sierrajim make sure you give them the opportunuity to meet or beat a deal. They usually can.

Yep. Sometimes, when deals are really stupid low, I almost feel like its insulting to ask them to match.

Let them say "no" don't assume. If it is a legitamate deal...they might take it or they might give you another option that is as good or better.

Don't worry, we won't feel insulted. We will always try to match or beat a price as long as it's "apples to apples" (i.e. same ski, same length, etc), especially for a PugSkier!

Not sure we have one of these. But for when you find deals that others should know about, but don't need a whole thread.

Here's a nice starter: Head Monster 98s w/ Attack 13 bindings in 177cm -- NEW -- for $260 shipped from a reputable dealer (AsoGear == Corbetts Ski)

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2016-Head-Mo...10-Bindings-/201548210664?hash=item2eed35a1e8

Or -- if a Monster 83 is more your ticket -- $250 for 149, 163, 170, and 177 at: https://www.levelninesports.com/head-monster-83-ti-skis
Thanks @jmeb , got me off the fence. I have had these (98's) on my watch list, and figured I better pull the trigger now since the 184's sold out at $349. These will be my new daily drivers and will be the shortest skis I've been on in decades.

Saw that price drop on the Monster 98 skis on Asogear as well and I'm tempted to grab them for another "charger" ski. Have bought 8 pairs of skis in the last year or so from Asogear so know them well. Lol

Great deals on Kore 93/105/117 skis on that site matched with Attack 13 bindings to tempt me too! Just got another pair of Attack 13 bindings from them for a pair of Armada El Rey skis in the quiver.

I got a set of two, weak attempt at humor. I should add that they had these at around $225 Labor Day weekend and a special including the matching skins at like $325, but that combo is currently $342.

I'll plug something on their website, women's CW/X tights for $25. Pro tight is XS only, insulated is M only, but that works for me...

I first read this as "I'll pug something on their website," and had a nice chuckle.

This CWX nonsense is true: http://www.skiessentials.com/nsearch?q=cwx

Please don't ask me to explain how that price is possible. I have no clue. :huh:
