Ski's..... to lock or not to lock... that is the question?

I really enjoy them so somebody will have to pinch them before I buy new, I have seen many instrustors on a pair of 8000's some more up to date other the same.
Mind you I did not repair the bases from last years cr*p snow so I have that job coming up soon.

Bon Skiiiiiiiiii

Still I have my new P-tex gun to help with the repairs this year

Every few years the Salomon R&D hit the marketplace with a proper blinder. I think that the BBR is the latest, superb innovation. Having had some BBR's in my hands, I don't think they would fit the bill for Wickers.

Wickers, they are a very popular ski. Dependable, tough, and the choice of some Guides. They were in production for many years.
I'll not tell the OH that you trashed the bases )

Ugly.... I am far too pretty to be seen on a pair of them :lol:

Is that because that they are for fat blokes and I'm far too slim 8)

You mean you don't want him getting a pair before you do?

I assumed it was because the colour way would clash with the bobble ....
