Well, I am getting back into skiing as you can tell by my recent posts. I took my old skis (Rossignol Viper X) to a local ski shop (Ski Wolf) to get them checked out, and tuned up.
Unfortunately they (Ski Wolf) missed the checking out part and only did the tuning up part. When I got to the Ski hill on Sunday, I could not put my boot into the binding. Something obviously wrong - seems broken and unfixable. Ahh well, these things happen.
What really rubs me the wrong way is that they did not inspect the ENTIRE ski, and proceeded to do a tune up on an unusable ski, which I had the priviledge of paying 30+ dollars for.
When I went to complain about their lack of attention to detail, they pulled the work slip - which said only 'tune-up'. It did note that I dropped off a boot as well.....hmm wonder why.... They just looked at me and said - we did what was on the slip. All I know is, I didn't fill out the slip, they did. I also know that I told them that I hadn't skied for a few years, and I needed an inspection and a tune up. I also said this over the phone before I came in. They suggested that they could maybe talk to the owner (?) and they could maybe put the value of the tune up toward purchasing new skis - since I hadn't skied on them. Haven't heard back from them yet.
Nice. Well, I am not going back there (Ski Wolf).
On a happier note, I may have found a great pair of skis at Sport Chek - New 2007 Volkl AC3 Unlimited.
I will update soon!
