My unbiased opinion (honestly)
As far as lower prices and all that bullshit...I can gurantee on all of this years stuff (09/10) there is no online retailer right now that has a lower price than snow or ski company...I know for a FACT that the owner checks all prices online and matches them. Although the sometimes specials promotions (like jibij last year did 10% to NS members). I'm not trying to put down online buying (i bought my moments online..only cause no shops here carried them) but that's just my opinion. On last years shit, that's a complete different story. When a company like ski company buys skis from a company, there's an absolute lowest price that we can sell them for..until a certain date. After that date passes, you can sell the skis for whatever price you want. Hugeee online companies (ie. backcountry, sierraskis, etc) can afford to sell the skis for cheaper because they bought more of the skis in the beginning of the year, and were offered a better deal on them. Hence, there still making enough money to get by. Also there is a tonnn of liquidation (idk if that's what you would call it) companies that buy tons of skis from say LINE and then sell the skis to a shop like snow for cheaper in the middle of the winter. Online companies do this a tonn. Also, (trying to avoid a sales pitch just cause I work at snow) no other online store can you get 50% credit on your old skis/bindings setup towards a new setup. Since working at snow I've come to appreciate purchasing gear from shops more and even though it's hard...I know when I'm a parent or w/e and I have a family I'm probably not going to go online to buy my crap..I'll go to my local shop. Will all that said...come to snow, we're cooler.

That kid is always at his papas side though he's never let off of his harness. He's kept in a metal cage at home and is sometimes allowed to run around the yard as long as he has his collar on. Plus he sold his Bacons for drug money.

Oh and keep in mind people... That if you buy skis online, it's not worth it if you're not saving more than $60-70 over buying the skis at a local store. You could end up paying more if you bought them online just because you have to get the bindings mounted.
Like getting Anthems at Snow for $300 + Free Binding Mount = $300
Getting Anthems online for $275 + $60 Binding Mount = $335
Just do your math first.
