And it is sick that we have Black Diamond, Level Nine, and Backcountry.com right here in town (BC has an actual store/warehouse where you can get goods...yikes!)

Yeah if I could actually got to Backcountry.com's store, I'd be broke...

So far I have bought

Watea 114's: Got the skis and Fischer X13 binding for $379 sold the binding for $125
Marker Barons: I bought hte 2012 model, because the toe piece is adjustable for alpine and touring boots and I waited to long to get the cheaper last years model at untracked.com

I will be likely buying skins at sometime in the future, I don't see too much BC or sidecountry in my future this year, so i may wait until the end of the season.

My '08 Scott Missions are in pretty rough shape...core shot down to the metal on one of the skis, de-laminated top sheet down to the front binding I feel is compromising the strength and stability of the ski. Edges are virtually non existant tho I know thats just a tune job.

Looking at one of these three skis: Liberty Morphic, Surface Green Life, Scott Venture.

The Missions are a nice 89 underfoot with a 128/115 tip tail and I love the sidecut 16 which has these doing well on the hard pack/groomers. Like to get something similar but a touch wider and maybe a tad longer (I'm 6' 1" 2 bills riding on 178s right now)

anyone have any thoughts on any of these?

We had Spring Bock cans on the Mountain one weekend last year. I was surprised by how good it was.

The slightly metallic / sugary goodness is made even better by adding a hop flower or two into the can. However, you will gain 15 lbs by the time the stores have run out (14 twelve packs consumed yields a billion and a half calories). In the words of Will Ferrell "Do it up again.....its so good......once it hits your lips.... its so good...."

Ye gads, man! Don't wear that jacket when I'm on the mountain. People might think we sing in a choir or something like that.

Yeah, or that I ski as good as you do!

And one last item...my wife will kill me, but got it on super clearance and for literally 70% off the price.

LL Bean's top of the line softshell. Gets great reviews. I saw it in person and was like, "man, that is a nice jacket." And yet, again, for some reason I don't see that they are making this for 2012....at least not yet.
