Rod's second pair of new skis arrived yesterday by UPS. During his first day of skiing this year on Christmas Day he busted a binding on one of his skis and "had" to buy a new pair of skis that day. But he loved his old skis so much that he looked for them on eBay and found a pair, which arrived yesterday.
This morning Rod went to try them out to see if he likes them.
Text message received from him when he was on the slopes in Sundance:
"Frickin awesom buy on these sticks...great hi speed first run. Yummy".

Rod's on the other side of this mountain skiing and happy as a clam.
