Default Demoing skis in Park City

Hey all

I'm going to Park City in 10 days and I was wondering where the best
place to get some higher performance ski demos would be. I raced
throughout HS and College but the fact that Im now a poor law student
has left me unable to buy the planks I want to ski on and kept me from
skiing very often. Any place anyone could recommend that will let me
demo good skis, for reasonable prices would be greatly appreciated.

Peace,
Dan

Find a place close to a lift so
you can try different makes and models
on the same day. Should not cost
much more than a plain rental.

There's a demo hut on top of the hill near the Summit House restaurant.
It doesn't get any more convienent than that. It was fairly
inexpensive IIRC. Of course, you'll need a beater pair of skis to get
up there.

Given the lousy snow in Park City this year, demo skis are the only way to
go. Why ruin your own?

Buy the insurance.

Even Deer Valley has exposed rocks all over the trails.
