not like is tough to get good deals or free shit in this industry anyway. next time you see a rep at a demo day, just ask if you can shlep stuff around for him and more then likly he will give you a profrom. this is my 4th season working in a respected shop and i get deals out the wazoo. but thats just it, I GET DEALS. Its not that i dont want to hook up everyone and anyone that i meet, but in turn if i did do that then i could loose my privliges of free skis and such. so my advise, just work part time at a ski shop. I started as the guy in the shop that would punch in after skiing every day, tune up the demos and take the garbage out. now ive moved up. you gotta start somewhere. another nice thing about working in a ski shop is that you learn usefull information like how to tune skis and such. anyway, any more questions post them up.
