Ok so I called my "local" shop I live in Tucson so it's really the only place, I asked if I brought some skis in could they mount them for me by the end of next week?  I was told "Oh no, no way I got like 75 skis and snowboards to mount there is no way."  Mind you Im in Tucson, Im not even sure there are 150 skiers and snowboarders in this city.  Then he asked "Where did you buy these skis."  And I told him online and he said "Oh"  So basically he would of been able to mount them if I bought them there.  The first shop I called in Phoenix told me "Yeah we are kinda busy, but if you get them here by 1:00 p.m. we will have them done by 2:45 at the latest."  Needless to say Peter Glenn in Tucson is a joke and I wish I had some kinda choice but looks like I will drive to Phoenix from now on to get any kind of ski equipment.  Sorry for the rant but anyone else have similar experiances??

Everything I've ever heard of that place was that it was a gaper chain-shop.

OMG PGLENN FUCKING SUCKS, but it's the only place in my area (Tampa). HAHA! All they have is Burton and Spyder...I hate it. Oh and the twin-tip selection...let me tell ya - 159 Silencers and 159 PE's. Fuck that, I'm going to Jibij.

Where is there skiing in Florida? Well, they do have the biggest ski club in the North America, but PGlenn is the biggest gaper store. They make mad money though.

"Can I help you?"
"I need skis, boots, suit, those stick things, binders, and a helmet."
"Would you like that to go?"
"Yes, I'm going to Aspen this weekend."
"Would you like some skills too?"
"Yes, does that come with the package?"
"Ummm sure. Would you also like the carpet to match the drapes?"
"What?"
"You need goggles?"
"Do I?"
"Only if it rains."
"Has it rained in Aspen recently?"
"Poured."
"Ok, give them to me."
"All set?"
"Yes."
"Your total comes out to $2500."
