skis are so much cheaper in the summer and spring. It gives you one more thing to look forward to when you buy them in the summer.

if you grew 4 inches in one summer thats alot I know one kid who grew 6 inches in just over 3 months and he had to get crutches because his muscles could not keep up with his bones.

i used to get my new skis as soon as they came into stock in the summer. And then i'd be so excited to use them that i'd go glacier skiing and urban all summer. By the time winter rolled around they'd be thrashed. So now i never get new skis until late fall.

I just got bindings a couple weeks ago and they're pretty sweet. I was going to get some skis to go along with them, but the shop was out so I'm going to have to wait until fall and pay $800. Oh well, it's going to be a sweeeet setup.

the worst is when you buy skis and you get them right at the end of the season, you ride them once, and then have to wait all sumemr to try them out again.
