| 939.1 | Colorado's only REAL pro shop. | COMET::KLEINM | NOTHING IS TOO EXTREME | Wed Mar 25 1992 00:13 | 18 |
| The best Pro shop out here in Colorado is WATER SKI SPECIALTY located
in Denver,well,Westminster actually,a suburb of Denver.
They offer a complete demo program.
They have a 30 day satisfaction/performance gaurantee
They will meet or beat any advertised price except close out items
or blemished stuff.
they carry Connelly,Kidder,Jobe,and Obrien water skis.
they carry Ski warm,Bare and Eagle wetsuits.
They stock Straight line,Connelly,Advantage ARS,and World Class lines
and handles.
I have been exceptionally pleased with them on every occasion.
Out here,they don't really have any competition but they don't let that
get to their heads.
They will be Malibu/flighty promo reps this year.

| 939.2 | Celebrity Weekend | SALEM::MOE | | Fri Mar 27 1992 08:48 | 15 |
| For those that might be interested, Baert Marine in Plastow is having
what they call a Waterski Sale and Celebrity Weekend on March 28 & 29.
An add in last nights paper said "Meet in Person" Cory Pickos - World
Champion Trick Skier, Dave Reinhart - World Champion Freestyle Skier,
Carl Roberge - 3 Time Masters Champion and 9 Time US Open Overall
Champion, and Darrin Shapiro - National Skiboard Champion and World
Record Holder. It did not give an exact time that they would be there,
however if you call I am sure they could tell you. The add looked like
it had some super sales including 30 to 40% off on '91 Ski War wetsuits,
and 50% off on '91 Kidder Skis. They are also offering Free trip to
Orlando (Airfare and Car) to the first 50 Customers to purchase any ski
over $400.00, restrictions do apply.
Greg (who still misses Peter from Baert's and all the good deals he
gave me in the past)

Post ski-season sale ???
Well, the flyer says, "Going out of Business Sale"
Anyway, Water-Shis Plus in Spencer Mass is opening up again on Nov 21st
(this saturday) for the "Gift giving season" so if the skier in your
life (maybe youself ?) wants/needs something they didn't get when the
sun shon maybe you can get it now.
10:00 - 4:00 this saturday then
tuesdays 10:00 8:00 {20:00 military time}
fri 10:00 6:00 (18:00
sat 10:00 4:00 {16:00
sun 12:00 4:00 {16:00
'til dec 24th
Based on conversations I've had with Ed this season I guess its
likely that they're closing down for good {unless they can sell it as
a business ?? anyone interested ?}

Yup, they're serious about getting everything outta there.
I blew about 115% of a mortgage payment on saturday, went back on
sunday to find the store looking a lot bigger (more space). There are
still quite a few skis left, also small (very small, child sizes)
wetsuits. For someone who could fit in it (Jeanne ?) and REALLY wants
it there is a Sahara dry suit for $100 {typically $299 M/O}
Reg {all spent up}
PS A very moderate mortgage, fortunately (-:

Say it ain't so! Is this sad rumor true? Now we'll have to venture
to Danvers or Seabrook?

Well, since the topic is awakened....
I went back to W/S + a couple of days after the sale to
return a "medium" farmer john style wetsuit that I had bought for
$100. A heckuva deal, except it was in fact a "small" at best.
Although all sales were 'final' I got "most favored customer"
treatment and just couldn't resist the O'Brien Synergy TC that was
about 3 inches too short for me - but at $270 (minus $100 for the
wetsuit) it WAS irresistible. Due to many factors I didn't get to
ski on it last year. Due to winter fat it is now 4 or 5 inches too
short for me, but the ski is a lot of fun and will probably be only 2
inches too short by the end of this season.
So, where else to shop ?
Zimmermann's in Nashua is carrying O'Brien stuff and I think
they're going to be getting Kidder as well. I was in there a couple
of times toward the end of the sn*w season (thats how I know this) and
I dropped off copies of Bart's and Overton's catalogues to help them
with their pricing (-:
Where ? oh, just outside the Peasant Brain Mall - on DWH, sort of
near to UNO's Pizza, I think its called "Ski Chalet"

| 939.7 | Looking for skis/tube... etc | IAGO::PROVENCAL | | Mon Apr 11 1994 16:47 | 12 |
| Hi,
I'm a new boat owner and am trying to find some local shops to go and
look for skis/tube, etc. Nothing real fancy. I have a 5 year old that
wants to try tubing this year.. and possibly skiing, as well as a husband
who hasn't skiied for years... but is dying to give it another try.
ANy suggestions?
We live in Fitchburg.
Thanks

| 939.8 | Here's a couple of places close to Fitchburg. | HOWLIN::NPARE | | Tue Apr 12 1994 10:31 | 21 |

re -1 I'm from Fitchburg too and the places that I usually go to
are Tri-City Marine on route 2A just before Lunenburg center and Valley
Marina on route 202 (take a right on 202 just before Winchindon (sp)
center (approx.1/2mile) to just the NH border. Both have pretty good
selections, prices are close (you need to compare) but in NH you save
the Mass.tax.
Since I work in LKG, if I need something in a hurry, Tri-City is on
the way and close to home. Valley Marina is a little longer ride but
what else is there to do on a rainy Saturday/Sunday afternoon but to
go on a joy ride and look/buy/spend on boat stuff ;-)........
Of course there is always KMart/Rich's/Prime Value and other
discount stores that has boating stuff sales every so often.
Norm
PS: Boating is almost here :-) and add usual disclaimer here.......

| 939.9 | Generic ski outlets - and long wide skis wanted. | NOTAPC::BURGESS | | Tue Apr 12 1994 10:55 | 28 |
| re .7
I replied to the author by mail, but just thought I'd also
comment here. The request was for "Nothing real fancy" I suggested
USA Marine on Rte #20 in Worcester {near Shrewsbury line} Gauche and
Doug Russel. Also Hermans, there is probably one at SearsTown Mall.
re .8
I'm a little embarassed to admit that, for some odd reason, I
never seem to think of Fitchburg MASS and Ringe NH as being close to
each other - though I've done enough bicycle rides in the area to know
that they aren't far apart. Anyways, I tend to think of Valley as
being more toward "pro shop" than "Nothing Real Fancy".
re ..beginner skis in general
I'm casually looking around for another pair of "learner
combos" the ideal would be a pair of LONG plywood skis with very wide
tails and bindings that open up for LONG and WIDE feet - preferrably
around $59.9x (-: Yes, I have an oversized student this year - and
yes Rick, its nobody you know (-: Of course, an old pair of jumper
skis would be I_D_E_A_L ! and we could play other games with them -
but they ain't cheep.

Reg, It's about 20 minutes to Valley Marina from my house so that's
not what I consider far. And yes, Valley has Pro equipment, but they also
have beginner stuff at good prices (Combo skis ~~ $110.00, Kid beginner skis
~~ $50/60.00) and sometimes they will match mail-order catalog prices.
As I said, what else is there to do on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon
other than a joy ride checking/spending money on toys :-)......
