Here is some background......(readers digest version!)
My wife and I are burnt out on CA, wanna cash in on over inflated real estate market and escape before CA becomes mexico. (don't call me a racist, I'm not, I have plenty of hispanic friends.....but I'm real tired of supporting the illegal aliens with my tax dollars!)
Among other reasons to move out of CA, of which there are several, there is just too many damn people here! So we have decided after much discussion and investigation that we are moving to Idaho. (don't knock it till you've tried it.....I will admit it was the 51st state I originally thought of moving too though....!)
This isn't really supposed to be a discussion about the advantages/disadvantages of moving there, but I wanted some advice on buying some ski equipment since I will be able to snowski pretty cheap up there. I have gone snow skiing maybe 3-4 times and had a blast each time. I expect I will be doing downhill skiing not cross country.
Anyway, what brands/type of skis should I buy (gotta be reasonably priced) and please mention any other highly recommended equipment. Also maybe some advice on the best places to buy this stuff.
BTW, any AT people from Idaho wanna PM me with their thoughts about Idaho in general, feel free.
Thanx.........
