Amazing that you got three seats! That is ideal! It would be fun to meet up sometime. I'm actually in Tahoe City with my daughter right now. We'll be skiing Alpine or Squaw. It will be slushy, but she's just in California this week for Spring Break.I'll check out the conditions report, thanks!

Ouch! This certainly has been the year for stubborn bindings. Since there's no specific culprit identified, I hope the injury just resolves itself.

Thanks so much. It is feeling better but still not sure what I did, or if it is indeed serious. Gave myself the anti blood clot shots as doctor in Switzerland insisted.....that was a big deal for me!

Thank you.....I hope so . Pain is in weird place like right below my knee in the shin area and behind the knee. So far no ibuprofen today and sleeping like a baby at night.... so tired from all the traveling , but it was so much fun...

We're in Sun Valley for a long weekend and I knew I'd need good groomer/hardpack skis, so I reserved a pair of Total Joys from a great little shop in town called PK's. They told me they're selling off their demo fleet but they would put them aside and not let anyone buy them so that I could use them this weekend. I really liked them on the extremely variable conditions here, and my husband noticed they have the real bindings, not demo bindings, and that they are in pristine shape. So we stopped by the shop to ask if I could buy that pair and how much it would be. The owner said how does $499 sound? Well that sounded perfect. It turns out the owner is also very particular about taking care of skis and he asked me to bring them back in so he could make sure they were perfect, and then he would ship them to me which also means I don't have to pay tax. Yay!

Not only do you not have to pay tax but you don't have to schlep them through the airport!

I'm thinking of ordering either the Great Joy or the Black Crows Camox Birdie. Can't decide which one yet but issue is I live half block from the beach and don't want skis sitting on front porch... Will probably ship to business address.

You ordered the Atomic 95C W right? Think I saw that in another thread. Did you try the Head Great Joy? Probably not great for eastern skiing but good for your Whistler trips.

If you create a UPS My Choice account you can have them re-directed to a UPS store for delivery then pick them up at your convenience. I've started doing that with high value shipments, especially since my packages are often mis-delivered to a wrong address.
I don't have access to Head skis. I know the rep's wife from social media stuff. Yes I ordered the Atomics. I live 4 blocks from the Canadian warehouse. The rep thinks that Tremblant might let them in for their demo's next year as the rental fleet is changing to Head. If so, I'll be trying.

Yaay, you bought them!!
One of these days, we'll actually SKI together at SV, and not just chat for a few minutes! Glad we left early, as my man friend's Grandma passed away this morning, so going to see her last night was the right call for sure. She was 95--what a life!
I haven't had a problem here. You could have them delivered to my house ....

@Christy Awesome! So glad you tried them. Congrats on your Joys! How much longer will you be at SV, btw?
My SO is there now (until Tuesday afternoon). If you happen to bump into a tall guy with bright red/orange Blizzard Bonafides, red Nordica Speed Machine boots, black pants and black helmet, and a Mountain Hardwear blue jacket, ask him if he's from Virginia and if his initials are GP. (Well, don't ask him on the lift -- he might fall off! lol)
Stranger things have happened. Too bad I didn't realize you were there sooner.
Enjoy the rest of your trip!

I didn't know about that--I'll have to do that before Xmas season when the package thieves are out in force and the Amazon lockers are full. We are very friendly with our UPS guy and I know I'll see him this evening as I'm dog walking and he's careening around the 'hood, so I'll just ask him to put them in the backyard when they come. Sorry @vickie they won't be making a layover at your house.
