What about ski equipment online? And what are your favorite sites to buy from?

careful though, if they mess up your order itll take half a year to return the skis and correct it

There are so many good shops. Jibij and Decade Snow and Skate namely. D-structure is right up there...

Then backcountry.com, evogrear.com. pmgear.com

Look around, use the search bar, so many threads with basically complete lists of shops with feedback too...

Just keep and eye out for getboards. Sketchy as hell for some, others swear by it...they are rated super low from skiers and rating systems alike.

It is sad because you want to support the local shops; but, how can you justify the extra cash when you know you can get your crap for MUCH less online? I would not recomend boots online unless you've tried em on and know what boot fits right.

Backcountry.com is pretty damn good. I ordered some clothing from them, got here in 2 days. Didnt fit me right, so I returned it and they had a new pair to me in 2-3 days. Great place.

Jibij, Josh always hooks it up and takes care of every customer like you were a new born baby fawn (he loves the taste of fresh baby deer blood.)

I bought me ON3P Jmos online. I dont think its like buying clothes online where your never sure how it is going to fit. The only thing you cant know for sure is flex, but a little research online and you can get quite a few opinions.

Yeah def I d recommend to buy skis online if you know what you are after.
I had a look at websites like [url=http://www.idealo.co.uk/cat/6492F1574110/skis.html] this one /url] and then bought mine after comparing prices and really happy with it!
So go for it after making sure what you want in skis.
