4. Garage Sales - you should've looked over the weekend but there's one final Friday sale day coming up.
5. Maggot borrow: mine the local and extended collective for pairs. It's Tuesday and if you move quickly you can probably get a pair shipped for ~30-40 on loan from a W. Coast LBD Hub (ship back via the slow boat for <20). Or sack up to telemark, there'll be a wide array of tele-enabled LBs at LBD, the bindings are much easier to adjust.
Please feel free to add any add'l tips, especially our W.Coast brethren that've had longer to work at it.
