if your looking for something 2nd hand, theres always plenty of scratch bc's about - the old ones that were 88 at the waist. theyre good in pow, but good park and all mtn if the snows not deep.

I heart run-on sentances.
And always sound just so darn stoked Cooper!


But yeah, I live with this kid^, and a fat ski would make it more fun, but maybe not worth it. (Completely depending on the money you have.) Maybe it would be an investment if you're planning more trips out west in the near future. But yeah, you'd manage on you're Skogens fina and dandy, but could be alot more funa nd rewarding on some nice fat ones.

fat skis are nice,

but really you dont need them.

I've lived in BC for years and I just bought some fatter skis.

Also what time of year are you coming?

Rent them ...demo a few different types. Have fun with it...march in BC is usually heavy, but never guarunteed. It could just as easily be hard packed windy and frozen, or 50-degrees and sunny.
