i have a pair of old ski pants that were handed down to me, they used to be my dads, and they were made by SLALOM USA ( as far as i know they went out of business)
they are very warm pants, very form fitting pants as well, they had removable suspenders that came with them but those have begun to lose their teeth grip and the inside insulating layer is ripped as well as they are starting to show signs of the seam on the rear, i was wondering what kind of ski pants would be good, im not looking for scallopettes, im looking for the baggier type of ski pants, any suggestions, anything with a decent price would be good, thanks |

i did forget about that fact, call the airline, then call the airport and talk to the security people for that airline, and for the airport in general, ask if there is anything you can do to allow those on the plane, or possibly if there is any special accomodations they can make for you and your equipments if not, the last and not possibly the greatest option but feasible would be to have them shipped to the destination you are off to, via a package shipping company, fed-ex, dhl, whatever you use, and call the hotel, resort whatever place your going to be staying at to have them hold the package for you, that may be an option, it all depends on how customer service oriented they are.

it all depends really, in America you generally can because they are open and can be checked easily although some airlines wont let you, your best bet would be to call the airline, and ask them ahead of time, to see what procedures are required. I'm not sure what other customs are in place in other countries but your best bet like i said would be to call the airline ahead of time.
good luck with that and good question its always a heart break to see your expensive gear get knocked around i know when I'm skiing and i feel like i hit something i shouldn't have or run over something, a little piece of me dies inside |

my dad has given me three patches from his glory days of skiing, A U.S. Ski team patch, A Schlitz Giant Slalom patch (from a GS race), and a Zugspitze patch from when he was stationed in Germany during Vietnam and did some skiing there, he has also given me two stickers one being for Vail, and one that has a poorly drawn snoopy on it and that is colored yellow with a red outline, with text that reads "don't eat the yellow snow" it is a round sticker about 2-3 inches, he said that they used to make patches like this too, i have been looking all over for it, i have found some close looking ones, but none with snoopy, as peanuts are my favorite cartoons this has a lot of sentimental meaning to me, i was wondering if anyone had a patch or knew where i could obtain one that would be great.

i have two questions for you, why by chance do they have race skis that are 06' models for 99$ i paid 550 for my intermediate downhill/carving skis that were 06's that was including bindings. how long have you been skiing for and what were your last skis that you used ( and who makes em for 99$ thats what i wanna know) |

ironically, heres a kind of funny incident that happened just recently, im taking geometry as a elective in school, and my dad sent me up his old slide rule to use the other day, he said it would come in handy, but the thing is i dont know how to use it and i told him i have a graphing calculator

thanks for the help trencher, ebay is a fairly good reference point for stuff like that, but like i said about the ski shop i got my boots from, that seems to be the best option as they are real professional about everything, but as for the snowboard comment, i have tried snowboarding, not really a big fan of the whole thing, something about both feet strapped into one board, kind knocks me around, plus ive tried and i tried and i broke my wrist
so ill stick with the skis |
