Whats wrong with fucking hand flexing?

Justo used to work at Nestor's and that's what he does.

Ok have fun. Too bad I cant ski the true mountain with a buddy today. 

Hilarious. Didn't you try to sell passes to BC to the forum the other day?

I wasn't even thinking that.  That's so messed up.

This purchase is such a fucking disappointment.

 

In other news unrelated to eaf’s and SaltAss’ short skis, I’m ripping my 191cm Head Cyclic 115s at Blue today and they are fantastic on the groomers.

Someone who never tried delicious deserts at Blue has no rights calling others a gaper. Plus be careful on the lifts out there. I heard some people here like Enforcers 93-100 a lot.

Tried them.  they suck.  too wide.  

[saltyant]

I just rode the lift with a dude who is on the same ski, 171 cm, 6 foot tall and larger than me. Vindication!

Was he a gaper?

Lol not at all. He seemed like a pro, except he didnt have a GoPro.

On a circus mountain... Would that be a gaper squared? On the other hand whom am I kidding? When a 100 is wider than a 115 you can just use a PRNG to generate advice.

Ok

I’ve been hand flexing my monster(s) every day. A few days I hand flexed twice in one day. Can wait for the mounting.

Good one eaf. You need to come to CB some time so we can ski together. Too bad you missed opening day or you could have had some hot cocoa and sugar cookies with Ski2Live and myself.

This thread is epic!

Bumped for stoke.

Buckmans wants $71 for a full tune, and that includes a $10 upcharge to have them back in 3 days. That's highway robbery! I'll go to Blue or Stowe for a tune, I just called Blue and they can have them ready for Saturday morning. Sick bird.

Back in 3 days for a tune?! 

 

I dropped off skis for a remount yesterday (not buckmans) and was told they’ll be ready Tuesday morning. They just called me and said they were done. I’m no expert but mount takes longer than tune.

I think it’s only $55 or so at blue plus 10% off. You have a pass, right?

Have blue tune them.  

[NMSKI]

Correct. 

And if you don’t really need a base grind I’d just get the edges sharpened and a hot wax. Will be way cheaper.

Yep. I just called Blue and was promised next day turnaround. Thought Buckmans would be more convenient but when the guy told me $10 extra just to have them back in less than a week, I said fudge that.

[JFskiDan]

Buckmans usually has a good deal on pre season tune for like $35. That would normally be about a 3 week turnaround. Buckmans and speedy service dont go together.

I was surprised that it's more expensive to get a tune in suburban Philadelphia than at a ski resort shop, but down here is where the big money is.

You guys were right. Just wanted to shop around first. Tune ups aren't cheap yanno.
