Ah… I just ordered some Mountain Force ski pants at :
https://startingate.net
I had a $350 credit b/c I ordered some pants a few years ago that completely fell apart… I emailed the store with a photo and was told to send them back.. I was given full credit which is awesome… The pants I ordered are called the Mountain Force Rider III… I ordered the arrowhead color in a size 34 which is like a 2 I think. The sale price was $249……check them out… Not sure if they will fit b/c even thought I am petite and don't way a lot, my body weight (sadly) has shifted a bit and I'm not tiny in the waist anymore. More of uni - body… thank you menopause.
as far as the gear addiction goes..... I am some what into researching, partly b/c I'm getting back into skiing after some time and as a competitive athlete for most of my life, I am interested in the technology etc..... that being said, I can relate somewhat to
@kasuncion6 in researching and looking to see whats out there, but only when its something I feel I need..... had a hole in my ski quiver, and after much research and demo can honestly say that when I bought what I was looking for it was a relief and I stopped looking at ski items on the internet ( whew) ..... it can get kind of OCD.... not denying that I don't have a mountain full of goat stickers etc..... however, I will say, I do try to purchase at my mountain shop when ever I can get what I want, I prefer to support those that support me throughout the year...... the online research is to see what alternatives are out there, and to get what I can't find on mountain .........
