Tele boot, Walk mode
Probably this has been discussed before, but it's kind of new to me. Couple weeks ago decided to descend on Scarpa T1's in walk mode. I actually liked it better.

Re: Crazy Lift ticket Prices!!!!
2. They are not low margin- Val Associates are rolling in the doe as are several other consolidators, if they ever appear to be low margin turn to the executive compensation and management salaries page. First off. Good discussion; I appreciate a good back-and-forth. Rolling in the dough and high m...

Re: Crazy Lift ticket Prices!!!!
1. I think most skiers in the US buy more than 1 lift ticket per season? 2. They are not low margin- Val Associates are rolling in the doe as are several other consolidators, if they ever appear to be low margin turn to the executive compensation and management salaries page.

My 2-cents... 1. The implied exclusivity of a premium priced lift ticket tends to make American market feel like they're getting a premium product.

Re: What is the closest you have come to buying the farm skiing?
Oh yeah, and that incident where you almost cut your ears off was pretty serious, especially considering it was preceded by the incident of your ski that was leaned up against the car slid off and almost cut your nose off.
