Agreed. I look at posts and see so many people bitching on someone when all they wanted was an opinion or an idea.

True, but doesn't the whole world want everyone to be honest? It'll never happen.

If you send me the money I can double it in 3 days with my Nigerian export company. Western Union money transfer only.

a) Discussion about the site should go in the Ski Gabber forum, always.

b) Welcome to internet commerce. It's a sketchy shitshow where you gotta take a leap of faith. Don't be mad, be happy you didn't get fucked.

c) Buying boots online? FACEPALM.JPG

OP: Always get your boots fitted. Always. Do not buy boots online unless you were fitted for them somewhere else and just want them at a cheaper price.

Worth it homie. Don't fuck around with your boots. They're the one (well, two) piece(s) of equipment that last/s a while and are critical to your skiing comfort. I'd argue that it's worth the day trip to get a boot that will last you for at least three years.
