What's on your shopping list for this year's ski season?


me -
3/4 length baselayer pants
helmet
waxing kit
ski rack
thin ski socks
all weather floor mats for the new SUV
maybe some pants if i don't drop a few pounds before season start :cry:

at the end of the season i'll probably be looking for a closeout deal on new skis for next year.

Picked up SMS pants & jacket at Momentum, won gloves at the final dinner. Need a new helmet after I broke the old one (broke the visor hitting the back of the head - figure it's probably good idea to replace it.) New buckle. Might need new baselayers.

Nothing on the radar for me. This will be the first season in a while that I'm not planning on buying anything skiing related.... Wait, I take that back... I need to buy a new jacket... so never mind... :lol:

no new toys here.

well, hopefully no new toys. have a pair of bindings that hopefully can be repaired instead of having to replace them.

i have a bit of a jacket fetish.. i don't need one this season but i'm sure i'll be trying several on and relying on my wife to stop me from wasting the $$.

Already got new skis, new Dynafits, and new skins to go with them so I am pretty much set. Oh yea, new digi cam too. Still considering a nice new jacket. Not something I need but my current jacket is falling apart and I have never been thrilled with its performance when wet from the inside. Waiting for BC's annual 20% off sale prior to winter and might pull the trigger. Need my annual glove liner purchase as well.

Man, when stuff goes wrong it all goes wrong at the same time.

I'll probably consider some new skis since mine were demos and have lots of miles on them at this point. Otherwise pretty well set.

In my mind, northern New England
- cheap flight to SLC
- cheap lodging
- cheap alta tix

This.

I should also get a new helmet. Banged the old one on a tree. No dents but they say they're only good for one major impact. Maybe a helmet with a visor or a full face because I'm getting tired of getting smacked in the face by random tree branches and twigs. May sell one of my skis.

You need to learn the fine art of cross blocking with your ski pole, gate bashing race style. I still get a few good ones to the face every year even with this technique, though.

:-D

Not quite sure yet as to what's a definite on the shopping list - do I REALLY need some new stuff??? Probably not. Will some impulse buys happen in the coming months, that's pretty much a given! :)
