I would consider narrowing down your options and doing a demo. A lot of shops will let you apply the cost of the demo to a new pair.If it happened in April it wouldn't be quite as bad, but now I just have groomer death cookie busting rock skis that weigh 1000 pounds and powder skis with no powder. So I'm having to do lots of research, which is annoying and will need to pull the trigger on something quickly.
Will probably go down to the Front to all those ski shops outside the canyons soon and see what they have in one or two years old. Evo in SLC is good too. First I'll go to a shop in PC where the guy knows us as frequent fliers and gives us really good deals to see if they have something. I'm honestly more annoyed that my Leki carbon poles were stolen at the same time as those suckers cost $170, and even though they were about 15 years old, it doesnt matter as poles last forever.
Also give a call to the Alta Ski Shop. They have been selling off their demo skis from the last two seasons and they are a good price, include bindings, and are in good shape.
