Need help- demo and purchase of skis

I am going out west sometime here for a short trip either over my thanksgiving break or the 16-17 of december to demo and buy a pair of skis. I'll be spending the majority of January enjoying my purchase...
I will most likely be skiing at Breck and want a shop there. I know Christy Sports is there... but I want a shop where the staff KNOWS what they are talking about and they can HELP me pick out the best ski. I want a place that has a good demo program so I can swap out several times a day because I will only have 2 days, 3 at the most, to make up my mind.
Anyone got any good shops? Good ideas? Places to avoid?

fuck recycle! there is a snowboard shop in breck called mountian wave snowboards, go in and ask for sam. sam is the only skier that works there. tell him chris told you to come in and talk to him and he will set you up. everything that the store has for sale they have as demo's as well and unlike recycle, you wont get treated like crap. they carry rossignol, line, armada, salomon, and fattypus. maybe others but i forget. sam is a great guy and will do whatever it takes to get you on the setup you want.

no, i dont know anyone that likes dealing with that shop cause you always feel pressured to buy something from them as soon as you walk in the door. just ask josh from jibij thinks of them, there is a reason that line stoped shiping them skis and its because you guys are so un-profesional and they did not want their name attached to you. not to mention 99 % of that store is stuff that no one on this site would use in their right mind. and is 20 years old.

Just to clear this up Recylce Ski and Sport is a consignment shop first, thats why there is peoples old shit in there. Recycle is a consignment shop with cheap used equipment that gapers from out of town can buy so they can own their equipment rather than renting it all. That is something no other shop in the county can do without a $800 reciept in the end. Secondly recycle stopped carrying line becasue they didnt like the quality of their skis and they had mad warranty issues to deal with and line didnt do a great job warrantying the many many pairs of broken defective skis. It was completely recycle ski and sports decision, line had nothing to do with it. Of course they are gonna try to get people to buy shit, its a business, thats what businesses do. THEY SELL SHIT TO MAKE MONEY! Saying that they pressure people into buying shit is bullcrap. Also on the side recycle likes to support twin tip skiing. Thats why they carry ninthward, high society, and liberty. so please get off the nuts buddy i was just trying to give some information on a shop that this kid could come to and look at skis and possibly demo or buy a pair. If you prefer mountain wave great for you, but please get off the nuts.
