Pretty much if it's on their retail rack, its available for demo's. Sadly I'm guessing for you, when I walked by their retail rack on Sunday, it was full of just mid fats and park skis, no true skinny stick bump skis. :(

Mount Snow has actually had a couple of free, relatively unannounced demo days lately though(usually 1 vendor) since their main demo day this past December was cancelled since it fell on "Ice Storm Saturday" :eek: If you call Mount Snow Sports, they may know if a specific brand's demo vehicle will be there on a certain day :idea:

The rack was holding your standard assortment of K2's, Nordica's, Atomic's, Volkl's and I believe Rossi's too.

My wife and I have used their demo program now for our last few pairs of skis. Real convienent with it being right next to the base of the Grand Summit Express! Plus, Mount Snow retail stores are getting into the mid season sale mode right now too.

We were up there the week of the ice storm. I noticed that a few of the demo vans were setting up and were demoing skis before the demo day. I saw a few of the vans out there on Tuesday and the remainder of the week. I said: "I'll wait until Friday to demo!" The ice storm hit Thursday night. :oops:
