I've given up "asking" for anything. These days I just order stuff and divy out the costs to the gift givers. Saves them the hassle and all but eliminates the crappy gift pile.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some Christmas shopping to do.Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

already found out one of mine today. Picking up my car at home (was in local garage for service) "Hey dad, a pack that could carry skis would be cool for christmas" His response? "lets go to EMS, I'll mess it up if you don't pick it out now"
So I'm ending up with a nice north face pack with place for bladder, shovel, A frame and diagonal ski carry and a nice semi-hard turtle shell against my back. Score! Too bad I have to wait till dec.

Last year Santa brought me V-Pro's.
This year Gotama's.Avoid employing unlucky people - throw half of the pile of resume's in the bin without reading them.

I'm pretty well set for this year except for a helmet.....I recently ran over mine with my truck because, apparently, I'm retarded. I'm thinking Giro 9.
Looking California, feeling Minnesota.

Same here, a $20 max on each person for gifts. It is a pretty cool rule, if the gift is no good then there is not a lot of guilt. The big family dinner is awesome, then the whole family goes away for the next 10 days to ski together. Originally Posted by basom

That is what I am talking about. I am in the process of shopping, I mean ordering stuff right now. Already scored some sweet gear yesterday from STP. And have been researching new ski's for a few weeks, with my credit card slowly getting warmer in my pocket. It is about to burn up, so I need to order somethin fast. Originally Posted by bagtagley

Plan on doing the same or similar this year, but I really need some new boards. If in Salt Lake again, I hope to be stayin next to the Krispy Kreme again. Can we say, free dougnuts . . .A gay-rage full of toys. You can guess em.
