Shipping from Backcountry is free for orders over $50 in the USA.  And it's guaranteed.
And you can return the skis no matter what.

hey i just goud a good site so i decided to throw it out there. You can keep sack riding backcountry all you want but I dont know about you guys but I would rather give my business to a small shop than keep feeding money into the corporate machine that puts honest people out of business.

i work at backcountry and have met the people who run it and they're really not as corporate machine as you'd think. i completely agree with the whole support locally deal but backcountry isn't as the man as you'd think.

They have Gotamas, a little fatter but pretty much the same. Backcountry is a very large company, you cannot deny that. I know a couple guys that run a ski shop down here in utah and they're struggling right now, not only because the economy is in shambles, but because they have to compete with big online dealers. Much like backcountry. These guys have families and kids to provide for. so you hve to pay an extra 50 bucks, do the right thing support your local shop

This argument has been gone over many times. People are going to buy from the place with the best combo of price and service. For purchasing skis, local shops offer very advantages in service over online retailers, and online retailers are often much cheaper. Now, for something like bootfitting, the best combo of price and service might be a local shop, but not for most things - skis, bindings, outerwear, etc.

Not to mention lots of NS'ers work for backcountry, and backcountry gives discounts specifically to NS members...hardly a faceless corporation.

Thank you, the funny thing is, is that this shop is offering the exact same deal as backcountry.
