    Can take only one pair... WWMD?

    Next weekend I am flying to SLC, will be able to ski Snowbird on Saturday the 29th. I can only bring one pair of skis from my dilapidated quiver. WWMD?

    Ski----------------------------Pro-----------------------Con------

    1. 185 PR's w/997's.........Smaller/good binders....one has slightly bent tail

    2. 195 lawnchairs/S900's.....I love this ski.....bindings have NO brakes/big ski

    3. 193 LINE Dragons.........squishy & fun........beat to shit, no camber

    What should I pack along?

    Well, I can, but the bases are different. The brakes on the PR's came from the S900's on the lawnchairs to begin with. But when I did it, I bent the plate underneath pretty bad. It was a pain int he ass to get it back straight. I don't know if I want to go through that all over again...

    I did, I'm talking about the metal plate under the part where the arms go in.

    Bring the Pr's just in case, but every manufacturer will have a demo tent that weekend. Just bring your best PSIA impersonation.

    Having never really done it, how much do demos cost for the day?
