that is steep. they won't make up a cent if it keeps even more people from coming in to their stores!
for that amount you can get the needed drill bits and still have bucks left towards a jig purchase. if you have an old pair to practice mounting on it's well worth going DIY. i was inspired to do my own mounts after one too many botchy mounts at a previously trusted shop. i've probably mounted a dozen pairs since and never botched one. it's easy.

digital calipers (Harbor Freight for $10 or so)
glue or epoxy
chisel to get rid of volcanoes if necessary
beer
Yikes!... 2nd the DIY... not that hard.Quote:

A bit of trivia for Boston mags, this is the SI cover model and daughter (Ashley) of Ski Market cofounder, Tom Richardson:

Anyone gonna be skiing MRG midweek this year?
20s midweek pass is only $199 (for the next 5 days, then goes up to $300) and I'm gonna either have Sun-Weds or Weds-Sat off (hopefully the latter).
Driving 2 hours to ski solo is pretty lame, though.
Great stoke up in here.
Wayyyy off topic, but the last search on my computer is "how to convince my parents to have another baby". Sounds like my wife had a talk with her because I started to type in mtbr and "my dad needs a reversal" popped up.
Very awesome, many thanks.Quote:

Especially since Hickory is Weekend only, and Plattekill is Friday-Sunday only.
Decisions, Decisions.
tBatt, you're only young once. You can save for retirement later. Do it.
ski a midweek pow day (or even few weekdays days after) at MRG and you'll know you made the right decision.
saturday's are usually frustrating, as are sundays til folks start calling it a weekend and head home.

or save yer dough and come ski wide open terrain w/ no trees to dodge with steeps and everything. no liftlines evar.Quote:

sounds like good math to me. ever since i was yer age i've made more and more but never really needed to spend more. streamlining. play as much as i want. just sock it away tbatt. 20k a year @ 5/6 % compounding tax deferred extra at yer age and you may not need to work much by 40. and could have well over a million at 50. just my .02.Quote:
