    UPDATE: The bindings no longer were on the approved list so I ended up getting seasonal rentals for boots and skis. I am looking forward to the new experience. All that is left for me to do is book me some ski lessons. I figure if I can snowboard I can learn to ski, even at 67.

    If the bindings on these skis are considered non-serviceable. I am going the rental route for this season.

    I took them to the shop today so I will see what happens. I know these skis are not beginners ( I am not exactly a beginner so to speak) but I wanted to get to carving plus I already have them. They haven't been used much ( maybe one time) and were stored properly, even the grease looked fresh...

    Gunstock

    I was injured at the end of January which ended my season. I dislocated my ankle which I never thought possible on a snowboard. There was a lack of snow making during this season and I was told it was due to frozen pipes during the end of December freeze.

    I would have no issue with the State purchasing the property and then Leasing it back to SMF ..

    Saddleback

    SMF had a couple of million to put down too .. Berry's held out for all or nothing. The Majella Group never impressed me and even less as time went by .. Maybe the Berry's will be finally willing to deal with SMF and work something out that keeps ownership in State.
