John, all the good sizes are gone by now, but that's why I got the bibby's. I don't think I'll ever beat $355 for new bibbys again.

So sad. All the good sizes are gone.
I am evil. I swear.

Smokin has Magne Traction with a true cmbered board. Likely to go that route

Magne-Traction? I didn't know there were some other Lionel Train enthusiasts on the forum:
LIONEL “MAGNE-TRACTION”
This locomotive is equipped with “Magne-Traction” which means that its driving wheels are magnetized by powerful Alnico magnets inserted in the driving axles in order to grip the track and enable the locomotive to pull heavier loads and climb steeper grades without slipping on the track. Be careful not to let pins, paperclips, carpet tacks or other small iron objects come in contact with the locomotive or they will be attracted to the wheels, gears, or axles
and interfere with the action of the locomotive. NOTE: “Magne-Traction” is not effective on aluminum, brass or other non-magnetic rails. The locomotive also includes two traction tires, which will improve traction on both magnetic and non-magnetic rails.

Hope the lawyers that are searching out Champagne Powder® do not get wind of this!

I was looking at the Superpark and the KT-22 myself.

Yeah I was scoping either bibbys or PBJs but the sizes I wanted were all gone. I probably shouldn't buy another pair of skis now anyway. How do you like the bibbys?

Don't need another ski, but after my REI dividend check came in I bought the Rossi S7 in 188's. Pick em up tomorrow! Regular price I beleive $699, clearance price $520- $160 dividend for $360. It's the 2012 model, the only change for 2013 is graphics.
What now?

I have the S7 in 188. I use it with my touring bindings. Fun ski, unstable on bumpy stuff at speed but on the other hand, turns easier than snow blades. They take some getting used to but I like them now.

Legend's don't suck. You just have to ski them and not let them ski you. It's a great ski! What sucks is Firestone....kinda tastes like tire!

Not Union Jack, bub. Double is waiting for a special day. Well, not too long of a wait.
