What brand/model of skis does everyone use currently? What brand/model are you looking to get for your next pair of skis? Why? I'm trying to decide what brands to expand to next year. I'm getting a ton of offers. Thanks guys.

i think that if ever in the future you are able to, look at carrying 4frnts... Line and Armada are cool and liberty cause you are supporting core companies really comitted to the NS skiing and you have the one big proven company too, K2... this may be a ridiculous suggestion to though... but faction skis?

The main reason I'm not carrying 4Frnt is because they have a deal worked out with the ski and snowboard club at CU. If kids can get discount 4frnt through the club, they aren't going to get them here.

I ski switch.

Is that it? The bad lt. is cool but I know plenty of people that prefer the nine or fuse. It wouldn't be bad to cary a few of them and see how they sell.

only the bad lieutenant? i hope you have different helmets lined up for when that fad dies out. you should carry *cough*burton red*cough* they make dope helmets. but don't have a helmet monopoly, i personally would purchase about ten other helmets before i even considered a BL

I thought about carrying a lot of helmets, but I don't have much space to store them all, since nearly all of my footage is floor space. Perhaps we will carry more next season.

MSO managed to sell 4frnt's for $500 last season.....i'm sure kids would shell the extra 50 bones to support your shop instead of the corporation that is CU

still, until they lower their buyer cost there's not much profit on them.

We won't be carrying boots this season. We will most likely next season. Hopefully there will actually be a decent boot out next year.
