    Not yet. I talked to them today, because I got the pre order e-mail from DPS. Escape Route is still doing their pre order special on the Wailer 112. They will give a discount based on how many people buy up to 15% You pay full price, then get refunded the discount amount. They have indicated that many people were interested, so 15% should be reasonable to expect. It works out to around the same price even with sales tax for locals and a lot less hassle than shipping across the boarder and paying customs fee etc. You have to do a search on the website for DPS and then buy the ski on line. Check with Corey at corey@escaperoute.ca for further info.

      Yeah, they called me back yesterday to inform me the order was actually still available, but at the current number purchased, they would only be able to provide 5% discount (at the time they had only 4-5 other pairs ordered). They also informed me I had to order by 3pm PST to get the order in - guess they are probably holding out to try and get more orders in - hope it works out for everyone! I'm having mine shipped to a post office in America and will pick them up myself. Fortunately, downhill skis are not subject to duty, but are taxed, so at worst I'm hoping to come out even, maybe slightly ahead, with the $150 saved with summer sale.

            Got notified that my new skis arrive this Thursday, hard to believe that if I was motivated to mount them I could get turns in this weekend in Tahoe, crazy year!

                Got mine. They are dead sexy. Now, to choose the proper binder!

                  Got some emails recently from DPS, my order has been delayed couple weeks. Not skiing anytime soon, just want to hold and examine these SE's in person! Anyone have pics of their new SE models?

                    I got mine. Haven't even had time to unbox them yet. Going to mount them with the new Sportiva tech bindings.

                      Mine have been delayed a few weeks as well, but I need mine because I am going skiing! Someone who received their skis post pics of the Special edition graphics please!
                      My bindings look so pathethic in the corner waiting for the skis to arrive. Like a dog waiting for the owner to come home. Hopefully soon!!!!

                          hey there chowdahridah and mxpowder - just a quick note - DPS sold a few more pairs than anticipated on the wailer 112 184cm special editions. the next batch is due in 2 weeks or less and the pending orders will ship immediately. there are 184cm yellow standard graphics skis available to ship immediately if you would prefer.

                          my understanding is that mike has contacted the few impacted, but if you have not been in contact with him, please feel free to ping me any time. cheers and thanks!

                                You've clearly drunk the DPS koolaid, Carbon fiber shavings and all.
