Roxy sweetheart question

[Vet]

I saw these Roxy's on the new Equipment Guide and want to buy a set to award as an encouragement award to an average 'non-Race Club' type kid who partakes in a certain number of ski club's weekly hit'n'giggle race.

Are the Roxy Sweethearts for mid level kids and what age group of girls would these appeal to mostly?

Is there a ski shop in Wodonga that stocks them and can get the set to Ski Club of Victoria at Mt Buller in the next 3 months?

At $349 including binding I think they will be very popular with young girls on the slopes.



I'm almost certain Paul doesn't stock Roxy skis.

Paul'll be my first port of call if he stocks them because he puts in and obviously cares about fitting the right gear to the right person.

I'm thinking the Roxy Sweethearts will really appeal to 10-14 year olds - and to parents who see them in reception and never thought kids skiis could be that affordable.

Maybe even the older females as well.
Back in 06 was on the tube from blue cow to perisher with my daughter JB who was 16 at the time. Sitting opposite us was a woman in her 20's kitted in in a complete Roxy set. White with colured dots Roxy Skis, white Roxy Boots, white Roxy poles, and white one piece Roxy ski suit.

Luckily I didn't have to restrain JB too much since she was in her own khaki coloured Roxy pants, white Roxy jacket (that she paid $25 for from a surfy shop) and striped Roxy beanie & scarf. After we got off the train she turned to me and said in a haughty tone "My Elan white Pearls, Salomon Performa boots and Scott Princess poles are SOOOOO much better than hers anyway".

I just laughed.

Maybe that's why the Stockli rep lent me boring skiis - my wardrobe was a little out of date.

I must say that my wife and daughter have Roxy parkas that are elegant and dignified. Best of all, they quietly stood out from the americans and drew admiring glances.

I'm just hoping parents on a budget see this award (and its RRP) in the club foyer, enter their kids to race against others, and maybe get the kids into their own gear. I mean $349 for skis with bindings is what it'd cost be at Bunings to get two planks, oil, clamps, and bolts for a Kiandra toe piece.

I may be able to get them, they are the result of Quiksilver buying Dynastar, and it was only a matter of time before we saw the Roxy brand on skis and Snowboards, they have been around for a few seasons now.

Great Paul. [img]graemlins/woohoo.gif[/img]

They're not needed for 3 months but I'm happy to pay now (and if need be add in freight/postage . I'll pm you card details.

Should the bindings be left unattached so the winner can fit them?

I can collect them in Melbourne or pay extra for them to go to Ski Club of Victoria PO Box 62/Summit Rd Mt Buller 3723 attention Sheridan Nelson.

This'll sure beat a tin medal or a plastic trophy.

I pm'd you. Thank you Paul.

I've got a warm fuzzy feeling about giving away a pair of skiis, and its not because the scrooge in me says the prize is tax deductible.
