Replying to New Skis

Yeah, another 'new skis thread':)!

Ok, I'm not sure whether to get new skis now, or next season. Basically a lot of shops are starting to discount stuff, which makes me want to buy it!! But next season I'll hopefully be going to the U.S. or Canada to work as an instructor, and I've heard a lot of hills will give their instructors discounts on skis or know a shop that will. Does anyone know if this is true, and if so how much? Any idea whether I'll be able to get the skis I want (ideal would be Sir Francis Bacons and some Race Tigers)?

I'm guessing that this will all depend on which mountain I go to, but I'd just like a general idea.

Cheers
