my lady and i both snagged anons for about $45. goggle deals are dope, fat ski deals are dope (gotamas for $350) and obviously cheap snowboard outerwear from last year.

def $450 was the cheapest there for gotamas.

the swap sucked, i went looking for fks and saw two pairs, they were both on rossi race skis selling for over $400. no twins to be had in swap.

mcmaster had some good deals on boots. dalbellos rampage, spk kreation, kaos, pro model, all pretty uncommen big sizes though. good selection of skis but none that cheap. also got in a pretty heated debate about center mounting skis with one of their employees. he told me he center mounted his line machetes and hated it.

wtf is a line machete??
maybe he was getting them confused with the K2 1080?

no one really had good deals on skis, mt kirby had lib techs for $299 but i think their trash. sign on the skier had new anthems which were the only thing that were really tempting for me.

if you ask me the best deal there was at the sbc skier booth. 1 year magasine subscription and a copy of everyday is a saterday for $20. yes please.

sbc skier booth didnt.

but there is one both their that had every dvd from this year and last. and im pretty sure they had refresh.

i got in free, so it was forsure worth it to go. if you need equipment then ya its worth it, if your just going cause your pumped to ski and want to look at ski shit then no, buy the freeskier buyers guide and jerk off to that.

mard hot brodskis walking aboot though.

I'd say the best deals there were at the Ultimate travel booth - 600 for two people for five nights (four days skiing) in Trembalnt (early season but still) - yes please.

Kev I looking around for you for a bit, but in the heat of arguing parents and exessively tall tees we probably missed each other. I talked to a dude who said he got the gotamas for $350 while I was eating my $10 slice of pizza, but maybe he was running me around the block. Where were the EG2's for $70? The cheapest I saw was $80/90. Someone pick me up a pair!

it was at some snowboard shop that i've never heard of, all of the pure white EG2s were for 90$ total including taxes.  every other colored EG2s were 10-15 bucks more...

and yeah skis and bikes had a legit booth for sure, so did Hustler. 

lmao a guy at corbetts tried to get me and my friend to buy suspects and afterbangs.

and yeah the mcmaster store had a sick selection of boots, i think i saw some FTs.  Also they had the new anthems.  I saw the new chronics at sporting life and alot of shops had the new Armada skis.

that is a sweet deal for the sbc, i wish i would have went for that

the machetes were made by volant (the comapny with all metal cap construction) in like 200, and they were carving skis, so the guy clearly had a brain injury

I ended up getting the anthems at sign of the skier. They were taunting me for too long.

Was anyone at the bike sale Saturday morning?  It was sweet. DH bikes were going for $2000.

I went to the ski show after that. Found a few COC campers, bought new boots from 2003 for $50 at the swap, and got a free ticket to the Burton movie premiere across the street which was fun on a bun.

kinda disappointed in this year's outerwear selection. there was not much there that was cheap. some of the booths were advertising 70% off, but their shit was still mad expensive.

did you have a conversation with a overly good looking fellow about your center mounted line machetes and your hatred for them?

I was there on the first day and scoured the place for ski vendors but didn't see any of them.  Did none of the ski manufacturers set up shop to show off their product lines?

All I saw were retailers, and they really disappointed me selection and price wise.  I don't like it when the whole place feels like a flea market.  All last years shit or just low end stuff, etc.
