Hey

I was looking to buy some ski t shirts and what not. I have shirts from every sport but skiing. I have snowboard shirts, motocross, water sports, snow mobile, basketball, soccer, etc etc.

So I went to check out some prices on D-Store and I saw that the shirts are running $40 a pop... thats alot. I know skate shirts are alot, and I do have some, but to go out and buy a bunch of new cloths is rediculas. There are alot of ski bums, and the industry is aware of this, so why have prices really high? They are out reach of ski bums who barely make enough for rent let alone other stuff. Then ontop of that they have to buy a pair of skis. These people are the ones ripping it up all year round because they do it because they have nothing else to do. I think these prices should be lowered. Anyone else agree? Please don't flame, it's just my two cents.

yeah and poor highschool students dont have any money either

"if all your friends jumped off a clif would you?" -my mom "i would if there was snow on it" -me

 
Work in the industry. I get more free tshirts, hoodies, stickers, shoes, etc than I know what to do with every year. I stopped buying clothes in "regular" stores because I can get everything I want cheap or free.

Moral of the story; go to your local shop and beg, plead, or bribe your way onto the staff........it's worth it.

Great gear cheap @ Jackson's Ski Outlet

Really, how?

For someone like me, I live in Newfoundland Canada on the east coast in Corner Brook, look it up. There are only three ski hills in this entire province. Two in Newfoundland and one in Labrador (the province is called Newfoundland and Labrador by the way) The one I live by is the biggest. It has like.. fuck I dunno 40 runs at the most? The mountain out in Labrador is so small they have a life half way up (a t bar lift, one that you shove a plate thing through your legs and it pulls you up) then you walk the rest of the way up. And the one on the east coast (i'm west coast) is just shit, it's the second best.

There are no ski shops, there is one but it it's a pure ski shop, infcat maybe 10% of it is. The rest is Newfoundland souvineer crap. So to buy stuff is shit because we have to order from away, and we are charged 15% tax. Then we have to pay for shipping to here. So add that up and it gets expensive. No i'm not on walfare or anything I just dont think this is cool.

The last time our mountain had a local comp was last winter, it was canceled due to lack of intrest. Everyone knows the good people on the mountain. There are four good skiers on my mountain, two moved away to BC for a year and are comming back and I bet they'll tear it up.

The reason young kids are wicked at skiing is because they start on big bad ass hills like Blackcomb or Whistler (yes there might be better ones in your opnion but we don't care) I have nothing. Marble Mountain (the one I ski at) has one table top, one half pipe that you can do maybe four good hits off it at the most (if you don't shoot off the walls which are at 45 degree slants). There are two rails , one 10 foot dfd and one straight on the ground 4 inch in diameter rail and one 10 foot box. Thats it! It sucks so much. We don't get that much snow and the guy that made the park was fired for some reason. So basically there is no park what so ever. The top half, which was made last year, was cut down and covered with snow, it had two jumps on it the first year it was built and that was it, you aren't even allowed to ski in it anymore.

And the jumps, they weren't even real hits. I could build one in an hour, thats how shit they were. They were just mounds of snow with a landing that was pretty short and flat, it was pointless to hit it. Anyway I wish prices were cheeper so skiiers at small hills could buy more shit and look like a skiier, not a boarder or something else.

The grammer and spelling in this was shit, sorry. And I kinda trailed off and had to get that off my chest.
