well yes you might think it a bad time to buy, but I have been informed that next year ski hardwear will be even dearer due to the exchange rates, and also it cost us €338 to hire two sets of skis for 6 days in St Anton, so for us it is the right time.
mistermouse,  No, not at all, I got what I wanted for xmas, although we were originally going to buy skis for each other for our pressies, we never quite got round to it.

The real answer is probably yes, yes and yes (except that the determining factor is price). So, once you have set a price band and decided on one of a few skis the other factors come into play (be honest).
However, ever noticed that if there is a particular ski we 'need' we can just streeeeetch a little more.
(Price of my last skis: £125 from ebay, plus $99 and import charges for bindings). That of course is the flip side; trying to outdo your mates by boasting about your latest bargain.
