Ski Huntin'

Well, pretty much got shut down on pro-form skis this year by Keating and Day Dogg. Fortunately, Day landed some Scarpa TX Comp NTN boots at $500 bills (actually a really good deal on boots that retail for 770!) and I already have the binding and two plates. I sold all my old gear: all hammerheads, BD boots, O1 binding, etc. ALL IN!!! The ski conundrum remains. However, I think I've come to a satisfactory decision. Aramda JJ's, Atomic Bent Chetlers, Rossi S7's & Moment Josh Bibby's are all stupid expensive right now: 600+. Even used skis with NO bindings are going for over $500!!! My buddy Marshal works at DPS and can hook me up with a Hybrid Wailer RP112 184cm for $480. The only catch....the ski doesn't get here till January. Sounds like this ski rips and at just over 8 lbs a pair....could be nice for the backcountry. I may just mount up my old AKs as a powder board till then (Volkl bridges are already mounted.) What would YOU do???
