    Three pairs 98mm skis for sale, preferably to someone from NY tri-state area...

    That is a 7mm difference - my guess is a redrill wouldn't be necessary. Perhaps a ski shop tech could give you a definitive answer on if it would be necessary or not.

    Three pairs 98mm skis for sale, preferably to someone from NY tri-state area...

    Hello people! I have 3 pairs of skis for sale. All 3 skied only 2 days or less. Selling at best offer. I was a bit of a gear junkie and probably went a little too crazy buying skis. I now know which skis I will hold on to and which I am going to move. For your information, the bindings are set...

I...

    Thanks a lot guys! Yeah, the Jansport website lists the Humbolt 82 as an external frame pack - but it sure does not look like one and nowhere else can I find it listed as an external frame pack! Could this be a mistake on the part of the website? VERY attractive looking bag - and it looks...

    please help me choose a new backpack!

    I have considered getting a "top-of-the-line" ArcTeryx, Gregory, Osprey or Dana Designs... but, to be honest I don't really have that kind of money o shell out for a backpack - and I am wondering if it is really necessary - I have seen backpacks for half the price that appear to be just as...
