Well so far - new suit - needed one badly. My old ski instructors suit is too big. The new suit is a Rossi ladies jacket - Elips and matching pants. Jacket is last years (read deal) and this years pants. Also when I was in Toronto last weekend I picked up a base layer and gloves from MEC. The gloves are a two part system and should dry better. I picked up another base layer at a "ladies night" sale locally. Oh I got a soft shell from Columbia on the pro-shop deal. It goes with both of my suits, black is always in!!

I bought a Marmot triple trouble shell that has lots of pockets, powder skirt, etc. It's 2 different pink colors with cream and grey, but that's ok because I like pink. I really don't need another jacket, but couldn't pass it up because it was marked down from $230.00 to $79.99. I went into Dick's to buy son #1 some UnderArmour and it was staring me in the face on the sale rack. I also bought a patagonia zip t-neck and a pair of black Marker ski pants (petite!) I'd like to get another pair of skis, but I don't think that is in the cards this year.

Sounds good to me. And if I sell gear, it gets added back into the spending side right?? So my C-9's sold yesterday at the ski swap - 3 years old and I got $ 127.50. (they keep 15%, asking was $ 150.0, somebody got a good deal.) There is still another pair of skis out there and Hubby's boots that he doesn't like. So I could add more to the budget side yet. Might get a pair of all mountain skis yet. Our local shop has a pair of SIAM 10's from last year that were demo's. And he owes me big time. I took out 50 items to put in the swap under my name as he didn't want the shops name on it.

I went to a large sale at a neighboring resort. They always have great deals on clothing. I bought some turtlenecks and ski socks. Somehow, I find that one can never have enough ski socks. I also did a little Christmas shopping and got some stuff for my nephews.
I'm hoping to buy skis this year, but don't want to buy without being able to demo. I'm in a small market, so the shops don't carry a large variety or much in the higher end. Finding the models I want to try won't be easy. I drive about 2 hrs. anyhow to get a proper fit/alignment as the local shops aren't trained in that area. I have 2 pr. of slalom skis now (1 good, 1 pr. rock skis!). I'm thinking of adding an all mt. ski. I guess I'll have to wait on the skis until I have a chance to hopefully ski a few pair.

Bought some stuff at the beginning of our season, but the season didn't really happen!
2007 Lotta Luvs
DaKine Heli Pro Backpack
Alpina Fight Goggles
and very recently K2 5 Karat Poles.
I'm not planning on buying any more ski gear, but I do need a few things for our European trip, a new suitcase etc. And I will no doubt shop up a storm in Chamonix and Paris.

In just the last 2 weeks I've been raiding the SAC closet. I've order 3 pairs of goggles (it's like a drug!), an insulated Camelbak reservoir, and a new base layer. Prior to that I got the new Volkl Attiva AC2's. And NOW, I've talked hubby into some new ski boots from Boot Fixation in Summit County with a proper fitting and alignment from Jeff B. for Christmas. :D

I didn't start looking at Steep and cheap until I started posting here. You all are a baaad influence. :D I just bought the Arc'teryx Delta AR jacket. It looked like it would be warm and cozy and would fit really well under my shell - not bulky. I hope this doesn't become too bad a habit.
