I know a lot of you guys are from Canada.
Where do you buy your gear? proctor doesnt have the skis I want in the size I want...or I would have gone with them.
Any other suggestions?
I'm also having a lot of trouble finding a place that sells look bindings in Ottawa. Help appreciated.

I buy my gear from a store.
WOOHOO
buying gear online has become quite popular. And I don't know why.

D-Structure seems expensive because those prices are the canadian prices. Those are the actually MSRP. TO really get the feel of that shop you have to be there. In shop they have tons of great savings.

They have one in Quebec, and Montreal. Ive never been to the quebec store, but the montreal one is sick. Super mom and pops style.

'07 K2 Fujatives 179cm
Look PX 12 Jibs
Corbetts sells in a package with shitty NX binders for 529.99...substitute PX 12's for 599.99
glaciershop.com is the same as local shop at 399.99 plus Scratch 120 for 199.99
My local shop sells them in a package with Salomon S810 Ti's for 549.99...I'm sure they'd subsitute Scratch 120's for 599.99 but that's not a deal at all.

to the guy above, this is the reason so many people buy online...its TONS cheaper...instead of having to chose from a local shop you can get the best price of shops all over the place.

I have no problem buying online...just trying to find a site where shipping to Canada doesn't cost more than the savings.

the site that i bought my skis from had free shippping within Canada, it cost me less to buy them from BC and ship them to NS than it did to buy them here.. kinda rediculous but that seems to be a common occurance
