Go to Fanitico (sp?
They have the best selection of Demo skis 110mm+ in Whistler.
It's behind the restaurant 21 steps in the village.

I would guess that you won't find anywhere that will demo those skis, each of them are produced in such small numbers. And as far as I know, many people who have ordered Bacons have either just received their pair or are still waiting on them. Best bet would be to try and ride with someone who has a pair of lizzies with a similar boot sole length and hope they are nice enough to let you have a try.

you wont find those skis at whistler but you can still find other demo skis. I was up today and it was super demo day and alot of the ski and snowboard companies were there. I demoed Seth's and the GUNs, the also had the k2 pontoons but i didnt demo those. mabey later in the season they will have more but for skiing there was k2, salomon, atomic, and some other ones. have fun on your trip, Whistler rocks!!

not too sure about the skis, but pretty much all the parts of the mountain that slope down are sick skiing in thier own styles
All times are Eastern (-5)
