More skis, boots just arrived
by Joel on Nov.30, 2009, under Ski
More skis, boots just arrived from Madshus and Salomon. We have finally received all of our Madshus product and the first half of the Salomon preseason order. We have some of the new S-Lab Pro skate and RS skate boot in stock. The new Salomon S-Lab Pro skate boot feature a ratchet system across the instep holding your foot more firmly in the boot giving you more control. We have also received a couple of the new Salomon Skate ski. Come check them out.
We also received the Toko pants and gloves last week. They are the warmest full zip warm up pant available. I grabbed a pair for myself and they are incredible.

| Notes: | LF top coat wax will be better with the humidity and LF waxes are also harder and resist drag from cold or dirty snow crystals. If your are one of the first over the classic tracks the Start Tar Black kick wax would be a great choice. |
