I don't think I've ever been part of a fad this big but I guess most of these people aren't going to be mounting their own bindings, or skiing with climbing equipment on their backs...

Crazy stuff. Good thing I have about 15 pair of mounted skis! Wish the situation was not the same with decent housing.

This happened to me last winter. I went to a re-use sports shop last early winter looking for some old wax skis. They would be my first try at wax and I didn’t want to spend a lot of $$. Got some names & models to look up here. Went back 2 weeks later and 75% of them were gone. Guy said they flew out the door, he’s never sold that many in a season. I ended up buying the USGI from Coleman’s. This years it’s a pair of Fischer Europa 99 from eBay. With the ski areas severely limiting the number of skiers, the BC equipment here in Colorado is already selling like crazy.

Similar thing happened with mountain bikes last spring/summer.

I'm happy to send supplies from Norway.
