no need for a long thread.. this is the basics.

"Your going to spend X amount of dollars on that ski jacket/pant/suit/glove/goggle/boot/skis ETC.. online and you never tryed it on? You must be out of your mind" - mom/dad/guardian

yeah, well my scenario.. im having my birthday dinner with my fam and my present was a ski suit.. but i have to preorder it online so my rents basically lost it .. haha kinda funny.


Stories?

wjatever u buy u can always send back and get new sizes...the only money u lose is the shipping fees...and alot of ski stuff has free shipping, but if its at a cheaper price, and if u local shop is kinda far away, or they arent carriers of what ur buying...then it all evens out

my parents are always like " you cant just buy things online without knowing what it is" and then i tell them how ive done research on which (thing) to get, and all the reviews ive read, and the different sites ive looked at buying it from, and then  they just kind of look at me and say ok. i never buy things without doing a ton of research first

i buy all my shit online,it works really well. i money order it though. That way, if the person your trying to buy stuff from fucks you over, you just cancel the money order. I don't paypal, or credit card, way to fucked up.

I buy 90% of my stuff local. That way if something goes wrong I don't get anally raped when I need my stuff to be fixed or warrantied. The only time I'll buy online is if I can get a ridiculously good price or it's something that none of the shops in town carry (which doens't happen much with 6 ski shops).

The only sketch things are A) not being able to try it on before you buy it, B) Dealing with sketchy people/stores.

I can't buy anything at all. My parents think that even if I buy something off of amazon that there is some super hacker ready to get our info.

I guess i'm in the minority. the only thing i can think of is buying a new bike when i was 12. My dad didn't understand what was wrong with the one i had. I showed him how bent out the forks were on my walmart huffy from using it how their supposedly intended. Actually riding walmart bikes is not a great idea. I had plenty of money and picked up a nice dk.

So many little kids freaking out. People should make a list for their refrigerator.

Things to remember.

Boots
Socks
Hoodie
Jacket/Coat
Pants
Skis/Snowboard
Hand Warmers
Juicy Juice
Lunch Money
Cell Phone
Most important, remember to take your meds

i guess this thread shows the age group of most of ns

18, in college, online is the way to go for anything you need. just dont go below $0 on the savings account

i do a lot of reseach to find the cheapest, legit seller as i had issues with a store when i ordered my skis for 60% off...
long story short, i paid, waited a few days for a confirmation, contacted them and found that they didnt really have "3 pairs in stock" and had to wait over a week for them to refund my money.

My family buys everything online...
Barely any legit ski shops on Long Island, so this year i got my skis and my whole outerwear setup online.
You can always send something back if it doesn't fit...
