Yesterday's revelation:
If you buy new skis, don't get them waxed or have their edges sharpened - they come machine sharpened & waxed and you should ski on them as long as possible. (good advice from a ski shop guy who told me this instead of taking my $25 as a sucker)
Today's revelation:
Even if you buy skis online and tell them your weight and boot size, they won't necessarily properly mount your bindings according to your weight and boot size (luckily I discovered this tonight when I was around some tools).
Today's secondary revelation:
Maharaja's Indian Food buffet on Banksville Rd. is kinda average - you are better off just ordering some good dishes from their menu.
