Thanks for the info Montrealer! By the way, If you are interested in selling those 2 pairs of Asnes skis, I'd be in for trying them out and i'd bet lil'cliffy would too! I'm in Rimouski and have friends in Montreal who could pick up if that makes things any easier! PS: Let me know if ever you go up to the Chic-Chocs, I'm on the way up!montrealer wrote:
