So could be wrong on this, but walked into Source for Sports yesterday and the title says the rest. I mean that was the price of the mounted but $1,108? I live in southwestern ontario and freeskiing isn't huge here, but come on? is that not incredibly ridiculous? The girl ask if i had any questions and my first impulse was "Yea, are you guys on crack?". She's telling me that salomon is huge, which I agrred with, but then she goes what are you looking for and I said well armada, line, etc. not as big as salomon but still respected names and great company's, and she goes nope never heard of em, must not be good companies, cause i ski alot and i've never heard of them. My jaw dropped, so did the thrusters i was holding and I walked out
They're the only store thats really close to buy skis, so naturally im a little pissed when i these kind of prices> i would expect some markup but this is just rude. I like to support the local stores, but when i can get the same skis for $300 and a really good pair of bindings for $150 online and still be saving $600, I simply can't do it. You wonder why freeskiing has trouble growing. Source for sports needs to get their act together. I can't afford that + outerwear at 8.20 an hour.
Sorry if some of that made no sense.
