 Poster: A snowHead
|
Now i hate shopping as much as the next person, but I have just ordered some skis from Jon (spyderjon) at the Piste Office and it was a total joy. He took the time to talk me through the ski options, the pro and cons, asking me questions about my sking style, locations and ambitions etc...then we moved on to binding options and what not to buy as well as giving me a few options to think about - even recommended some skis that he didn't stock as he thought I might like them - good old fashion service and knowledge. He then did some phoning around to find a shipper that could guarantee to get them to me on time. I never once felt that he was trying to "sell" skis to me, more like a good friend making sure I made the right choice regardless of where I purchased them from!
Ended up splashing the cash and going for a two ski quiver of Whitedot Redeemers 190cm and 189cm Preachers mounted with Marker Dukes (due to me size!) on quiver killers. I think the redeemers will scare me a bit for the first few runs, but really looking forwards to spending the season on them both...
I will do a review soon, although I will tell you now it I be biased as I just bought them.... there's no way I'm not going to love them!

Wow BenAS, , sounds like you're going to have some fun!!
Did you visit the Piste Office in person or did you do this all by phone?
I look forward to your review. What was it that sold the Whitedots to you? I have never tried them (I tend to use atomic) - indeed you hardly ever see them in use.

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

All done via the phone, I was sold by all the good stories of the Piste Office and Jon on here, so I didn't feel the need to go up. I also had a feel of he WhiteDot at Ellis Brigham in Covent Garden so I knew what I was getting to a certain extent. It is nice to by from someone that clearly has a passion for the sport.
I'll let you know how I get on when I get the skis on the white stuff... Jan 2nd will be the first day!
