| Thinking of getting these... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=002 They look like they could be fun. Something different to try than my usual recreational skis. (Which Brian would complain I haven't even skied on yet as I just got them at the Ski Swap a few weeks ago...those are Dynastar Novas, BTW) But I do think there's a place for these. I want to try new things this year. Not park stuff, but from what I've been reading, freestyle skis have a place elsewhere on the mountain, too. And for the money, you really can't go wrong. Any thoughts? Am I misunderstanding or misinformed? Am I too old?

You should try to get a "girl's league" going at Sundown. MRGisevil, maybe Grassi's bride. Hell, maybe my wife might even get out a few times.Seriously though, you're just getting back into skiing. Start with what you have and work on your technique. You'll then have a better feeling for what you want/need as far as equipment goes. Who knows, maybe after thrashing through the Nor'easter moguls, you'll want bump boards... | |

The desire for new toys is always there. After three seasons I'm still not sure which toys will suite me. I agree with waiting it out another season to see what you are into. Outdoor Sport usually has a good selection of women's skis at the end of the season.

 We've discussed getting that pass as it's the most cost-effective way for me to get out on a regular basis. I can't guarantee the same night every week as my work schedule fluctuates, but I will be there at least one night every week!I have to laugh a little. Ask women about these, and they all say "go for it, good price, can't go wrong!" Ask men, and they all say to wait and see.

 That's just not nice!  A weekly night for the women would be nice. But like I said, I work in retail and my schedule is never the same from one week to the next. Might be difficult to organize. Though if I jump ship mid-season when they do the layoffs, that might be possible.

| Sevie, I'm taking the winter semester off so I'll have a few free nights during the week if you want to try a floating girls league. I don't work too far from Sundown so it wouldn't be a problem for me to get out there Also, about getting new skis, I'd agree with Greg on this one... you're just getting back into it so give yourself the season and see how you feel at the end of it. You'll be much better able to assess your needs then (although they are quite pretty)
