If the importer has them in his warehouse I can probably get them.

Just been googlin and now know what they are for, but how's the waxless base an advantage for the Back Country?

[Legolas]

apparently they are patterned so less stopping and starting with skins etc...I gather...but I'm just the messenger and actually care even less than I know...point me downhill fast anyday:cool:

If you keep associating with those "wimmen", that request can't be far off :D

Legolas,
just noticed they got some @ Rhythm at Cooma for $799, if Paul can't get hold of them for ya! www.rhythm.net.au

I would just grab the ones from Rhythm in case I can't get them, I just got back from a 2 day boot fit clinic in Melbourne so haven't had a chance to ask the importer anyway, I was going to do that tomorrow.

Rhythm have Karhu Guides and Targa T/9 bindings advertised online for a total of $958, and am sure they would talk a deal for cash! I owned a shop at one point in time and I assure you that you don't make a "killing" in retail, go into most Ski/Board Shops and odds are that you'll see the owner working in there (and not sipping champagne on a cruiser in the Bahamas), and one of the reasons is people buying from OS via the internet. One thing I did see a lot of was, people wanting assistance with warranty on their purchases. If the money is spent here then it is also better for our economy as well!
Will they Detune your Ski's and chuck in a couple of free wax jobs? Will they give you free advice and spend an hour fitting your next pair of boots?
There are countless advantages in using an Australian based business to buy your stuff from! You really do get what you pay for!

David only made two posts both promoted buying online from an overseas website and he rubbished local shops for charging more than this overseas shop, that sort of thing gets you banned.
