I have a friend who skis, but wants to try out some twintips to see which he prefers. Is there any place in calgary/surrounding area where he could rent some?

Don't think so.

The second a ski touches a rail it loses 1/2 its value.

If I rented, I wouldn't have'em, would yoU?

dont you have a backup pair, or even old rail skis would work if he just wants to try it

you might be able to get demos at mountain magic in banff. i know they have the atomic thugs so i dont see why they wouldn't carry the 4frnts

If you demo a pair of stl's and hit a rail I imagine you would be buying them.

the catch? my legs are too fucked for me to ski the rest of this season...stress fractures in both femurs, cartiledge on top of both tibia's is almost gone, and theres some weird ass growth INSIDE my right femur...doc told me not to ski rest of this season

only catch is i don't want to ship them...i need money now, and i HATE shipping stuff!

another thing...they're of course true center mounted for a 27.5 (315mm) salomon 1080 boot...
