alright so im buying new skis before this season and where i live has no good shops so im lookking to get them online.... i live in canada so it would be cheaper if it was a canadian site.. i have looked on getboards.com and the prices are fine but its a US site. so if anyone knows any canadian sites let me know thanks.

I know jibij now charge a lot less for shipping so you might get pretty much the same deal as you'd get from a canadian shop. If  not the d-s guyz are really nice too.

Are there not any shops up at Whistler that would sell and send you skis? Look them up and give them a call. Or buy your skis at Backcountry and have them shipped to someone in the US. Then get them sent up to you marked as a gift. Problem solved.

backcountry.com the best customer service ever, to go along with a straight redonkulous return policy.

also check out evogear.com

Jibij is really good, My brother bought skis from them and he lives on PEI (he got free shipping though because he got them sent to relatives in Maine and then picked them up when we visited them for Xmas).
Evogear.com is also good, they have a really large selection and sell used skis, and have old stock so you can get stuff cheap from them. If you want this years' Chronics you may as well use Jibij though, because price will prob. be about the same and shipping may be less because Jibij is in Colorado which is closer to the East coast than Seattle, where Evo is.
