Last night I took my wife and daughter out to purchase there first pair of skis. I can't tell you how much fun I had watching them get outfitted. I took my wife and daugther to Pro Fit in Leesburg and Brian did a great job with my family. Now I can't wait for the season to begin. My son actually started to show some interest, in skiing, but I think that was because they were getting new equipment. I am sure once he straps the snowboard, back on his feet he will forget about the skis. I hope to get him on a pair this year.
I know I mentioned this last year when Brian set me up with boots and skis, that he truly is a great bootfitter and takes the time to get it right. My wife was very pleased with the service and that's whey we drive over a hour away.
I did make sure my wife received better boots, than I have, so next year it will be a easy upgrade

Maybe it's a sign of becoming more mature, that I had just as much fun buying them eqipment as I do for myself. Well maybe almost as much fun.
