Help! Needed: Smith Z-Bend Baskets in Utarr

[ill-advised strategy]

I just got back from going to the Lift House, REI, and that strip mall peice of shit on foothill and 1200 South, whatever it's called. Nobody has baskets for my smith z bends, and they all seem to think the other does and don't know anybody else.

It's frustrating the living shit out of me.

Anybody know where I can get these? Thx.

Do you need the powder basket that you can twist on or the small one that has the tip. I have a pair of pretty beat up red Z bends that I don't ski with anymore that I could ship to you for the baskets (both sets). Say $20 to cover shipping and the cost of some cheap whiskey.

small one w/tip is what I'm after.

I've seen really really small racey small ones, I don't want those. I have the factory ones with the tip...you know if something else will work I'd do that too, whatever, just some baskets that aren't all huge or really small and will keep my z bends going. PM me and I'll send a paypal or work something out.

I had a couple of pair of Z-bends, but I thought there were only two basket options on these. The stock ones that came with the tip, or the slip on big pow ones. Might be worth getting some baskets from another company and taking a dremel to them to make them fit... Just a thought.

yeah, I'm starting to get the feeling that's going to be the deal.

I really like these poles but the baskets are the definition of gatness.

That's the only way to go. I've been using the $3 BD powder baskets for quite a while now. With a little ingenuity they'll fit on anything.

i've got a pair of slip-on powder baskets for smith z-bends. i have kept them around thingking i might be able to use them somehow, but nada.

if you are in utah, they are yours for the price of a pitcher of PBR.

you'd better let me check though. i just moved and i hope i can find them.

PM me if interested.

The poles have the small one with the tip on them and I don' know how hard it would be to take them off. But if you want them they are yours.
