If I still lived there I would definately use my older skis till the base gets decent.
Since I don't .... I will live vicariously here on the board till my first skiing of the year --- which will be at Gore in the Middle of January.
But I am able to bicycle and camp year round so I am not complaining. I will ski about 15 days this year.
- 6 at Gore
5 in Utah
4 in Tahoe
