Easing my wallet into the 09/10 season

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I wasn't planning to buy new skis until after the season but it was kind of an internet impulse buy. So now I have to decide weather to mount them and use them soon or stick with my old skis for now. Seeing them leaning against the wall leads me to believe that I'll use the new ones soon and ski both pairs this season.

Use the new ones right away..unless it's really rocky..new skis are way more fun to ski due to the stiffness..

This thread could be getting some love from me this weekend when I'm up in VT and seeing lots of tents infront of ski shops with "SALE" signs hanging off them

I get a kick out of how in Vermont there's just one area code for the entire state..

Just a bit over a half million people. Gotta love that!

Same for Maine and it's a bigger state.

Depending on my arrival time Friday and departure time Monday, Wahoo's will be getting at least 1 visit from me too! LOVE their VT grass fed cheddar bacon burgers with a side of fried zucchini chips!

I don't think those qualify as fat anymore.

Maybe in a couple years after I've gotten a few more expenses out of the way (I'll probably be putting an offer in on a house in the next week or so,) I'll add a pair or two of skis I'll use less than 5 times a year. For now, the Wateas should do.

We're heading up tonight after work.

I think all the sales start on Saturday? If so, we'll be doing a Wahoo's lunch break that day. Haven't been there since Memorial Day.

I have been easing and emptying my wallet for the 2009-10 ski season since purchasing season passes last spring. Last weekend did the VT trip to get seasonal rental for my skiing son and new boots/binding for snowboarding son. Pulled the trigger on new boots and will be buying new skis for my wife in December. House rental still to be paid for...

Picked up a softshell on Tramdock today. Price was made even better in comparison to the car insurance bill I paid right after it (though car insurance does drop considerably once you hit the age of 25.)

 

[wa-loaf]

Picked up a Giro Omen off of Tramdock this afternoon.

I've really done some damage this off season. Not having a SO to frown on my purchases is dangerous.

Since spring I have bought:
1pr of goggles
1pr of smith sunglasses
Patagonia Fleece
Puffy Jacket
Watea 94's and Dukes
Atomic CS130 boots
2pr of kids boots
1pr 90cm kids skis
Kids helmet
Fischer Progressor 9+ skis
New helmet ...

:smash:

Kids did VERY well today

The almost 6 year old is now sporting a pair of Rossi Viper X1's in a 110cm (she wanted the "boy" colored red ones which is very uncharacteristic of her)

Then leased her a new pair of Rossi 3 buckle overlap boots ($40 for a full season lease with the ability to up size as needed - no brainer)

The almost 4 year old is a full lease package ($99 for the full season with the upsize ability again) and on some 80cm solomon's - already forgot the model but they look cosmetically like their adult crossmax red/blue/gray ones of a season or two ago and some 2 buckle overlap solomon boots

While things were being set/mounted, I did some scoping out of various goods for myself Now I gotta start dropping some not so subtle hints to my wife
