The "I need to brag about a gear purchase" thread
I did start with grey once.
Both pairs are looking good! Now all you have to do is make sure they are all tuned up and ready to ski. My Slicers and Menace 98 were both edge high at the tips/tails but a stone grind and tune fixed that.
I seriously love those topsheets! Moment just keeps nailing the graphics game...
Pretty! I just love the name, too.
Yeah, I bet. But if you own it . . .The jokes are pretty much never ending.
Not sorry
Already posted in the quiver thread, but it occurred to me that I should mention the purchase here as a public service to my fellow Canadians. Having bought items from the U.S.A. in the past I was a little worried and half expecting I would need to ransom them at the post office coughing up custom inspection fees and the like.
An e-mail from 4FRNT said they would pay shipping and all fees. They did. Skis arrived at my door via Fedex on time with no problem and no extra fees.
I did get hit by the exchange rate (ouch)- fully expected and can't be helped.
Got me some 179 cm 4FRNT Devestators, the new lighter 2021 version, and some Look Pivot 15 Gold bindings. Lighter is not really my cup of tea, but for a deep snow and tree ski I figured I would risk it; all the other specs were pretty much what I was looking for. Maybe my knees will thank me for the lighter load when I get (even) older.
I love the graphic.
Still in plastic, will get the bindings mounted when I get new boots.

Whenever I've gotten skis from @ScotsSkier, it's turned out to be something to boast about, whether SL or GS or whatnot. If you get a chance, try it!
In this case,
These skis are, for me, something to get excited about. I feel like a rich man (in skis), thanks to @ScotsSkier .
For now, more use on steeps: a secret weapon for that, seems like. (But also, I'm not yet ready to slow down so much, so far.)
The Beavers @ A Basin will see a lot of these - run after run. Even in a few inches of fresh.
But like a bunch of old guys I know and sometimes ski with, I too figure to be using these SLs more as I get older - hopefully.

Scott Orbit touring boots for my wife. Fischer My Traverse also fit her really well, but those, like most lightweight touring boots, are only compatible with tech bindings.When we go out with our whole family, my daughter will use the AT skis, and my wife will use her K2 Fullavit 95 Ti, which have Shift Bindings on.
Also useful for days that have some touring and some lift riding.
While I'm not sure this is the best place for this information, this forum has helped me immensely on researching what I wanted in a ski. I just picked up this year's 20-21 Moment Bella 108 (MSRP $749) for $515 plus taxes and $25 shipping from a seller I've used a lot in the past for bike gear. The seller is a legit business, for those of you who are cautious of eBay. I'm very excited to get these on some deeper fresh snow in the west coast this season as long as Epic holds up its end of the season pass bargain.
Fortunately for my bank account, I don't need these for myself or my spouse, but think they are a great deal that I found during my search. The Moments are pretty much sold out or full price anywhere else, and are new unmounted, and only $25 to ship. I hope someone takes advantage of these deals, before I convince myself into the Prior A-Star for the helicopter trip that's not even in any budget. Trying to only buy skis for the conditions we typically ski, not the conditions we wish we skied.

That's great! Welcome to PugSki!
Thanks for sharing, it is always good to share a bargain and yes this is the thread to do it.
