Boston Ski Shop AT/Tele Ski Deals

[jshefftz]

Bob Smith’s has AT (and I think tele too) boots at 40%, plus I saw a pair of $200 27.0 thermoflex Lasers (still a current inline boot in Europe - softer than Matrix, but lighter too), although the $200 non-thermoflex Laser next to it is not such a great deal. Markdowns on skis varied, but worth a look. (Plus lots of $20 lycra xc race suits for the aerobically inclined, and the Karbon vests & jackets are a great deal too at $20; climbing gear at 40% off, but not much is left.)
Across the street at EMS, lots of good deals on prior season and current season skis. Forgot to check what the boot & binding discounts were.
Meanwhile at REI, the remnant ski selection has been moved to the basement - for shame! (Although more deserving of shame is the person who returned a pair of BD flicklock poles after FIVE seasons of use - as the clerk remarked, “those are the customers we don’t like.”)

:rolleyes: Brother. Tell me about THEM! :rolleyes:

Glad to see you're still around Jon, long time. Let me know if you're headed through Utah anytime. I'm hunting these end of season sales like a shark man, need new :skis:

There are some 05 TM-X (184 @ 118-84-110) at EMS for short money. The '06 Crossbows (179cm, 2 more pairs left) rang up for one customer at 180 with the extra 30% off clearance price sale this w/e.

Some rental sell off TM-22 with G3 binders are $275 one pair is 180 and the other is shorter.

:badwords: Damn! I just got some Crossbows in N. Conway for $269!!! I thought that was a great deal given the retail price of $570.


Oh well, I learned how to mount bindings myself and took 'em up to Jay for the weekend--haven't seen snow like that in a long time. Over-the-knee pow in the woods, and still snowing!

RR-you said once that the crossbow is for tall people who like a stiff ski right? Local EMS has 2 of the 179's except noone arond here buys skis, im just waiting for the one pair to dissappear before i jump in.

Last year's was stiffer, in the tail. This year it's not stiffer in the tail. very round and smooth with the evenness giving a nice release to the next turn whether short or long radius. I guess the super stinx and some others might be a trifle quicker, but the 'Bows are the quickest I have ever skied.

Still stiff for a ski that much on the light side. Last year I would have picked the Ethic for my tele boards (176cm) but this year's model I'd go with the 179 Bows...same as my AT ski lerngth.

Question about crossbows: If you ski them on the wrong feet, do you really notice a difference in their torsional stiffness/edge hold ability?
