I've got everything else I need here, but the ski's and the boots just are not the same without some bindings or skins. Im looking for a deal here. Can anyone help me out before I resort to bailing wire and duct tape ?

I sold all my old stuff already, but I'd suggest maybe you start with Craigslist and GearExpress. Are you near any ski swaps that are imminent this time of year at all the resorts?

Nice white jacket, BTW. How long did that stay clean?

Especially useful on those solo climbs when you don't want anyone to find you!

Nice, thank you for the advice. I've been checking for some time now, just trying every medium that I can think of. I loved that white jacket! It was my first serious shell jacket before I bought my Arc'teryx Sidewinder. Visibility would have been an issue for sure, however it wasn't my time that winter as I watched a gal tumble to her death down in avy gulch the day before that picture was snapped.

Lesson learned long ago.
