Poster: A snowHead
|
This internet is an expensive business. I happened to be browsing the Filarinski website a couple of weeks ago and noticed they were selling some of last season's skis at half price. I tried to resist, but failed, miserably. So the courier has just delivered a new pair of Elan Magfire 12s which were being sold at half price. I'll use them instead of my slalom skis which are a bit too much like hard work in the bumps and off-piste. By complete coincidence the Magfires are almost the same colour as my green Les Arcs ski suit. Not sure it would be wise to wear both at the same time!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

They have some very good deals. I am tempted by the Volkl Supersport 5. I hired some for a day last season, 165 I think they were, longer than I would normally ski, and found them very good, though I'm not much of a connoisseur when it comes to different skis. My husband said I skied a lot faster on them, though I was not really aware of that myself, maybe because they felt like a very solid platform. I have Volkl 727 ES (? can't remember, and they're in France) in 156 which I think I'm finding a bit light and insubstantial. How's that for a technical description. The S5 say they're for men, but I think I'll ignore that. I live very near Filarinski, and often wander in there; I might be tempted just to pop in tomorrow.... Or the Elan Magfires, maybe.

Tell me about it! I only need one pair of ski. But the shop ran out of my length so I "had to" go on the internet to look for other sources. Now I'm the proud owner of 3 pairs of skis!!!
Last week, I was online looking for a cheap shifter for my commuter bike. This week, I have in the post enroute to me a 9-speed upgrade kit, disc brake (for another bike), new helmet, new lock... and what not that I forgot now but will find out when the box arrives!

rob@rar, You should have popped down the A3 to the shop

That would require time away from the desk/keyboard!
