Well I'll be skiing my first tourney of the year over Mem Day weekend. At The Ski Ranch. The reason for posting is two fold. First, I read this forum off & on and have posted occasionally but was just hoping to say Hi before the weekend. This seems like a reasonalble friendly environmet here. Hoping the tourney will be the same. I think there's a few people here who may be at the tourney. In fact I'm pretty sure I follow jdarwin off the dock as I recieved the running order the other day. I could be wrong, but if correct, would you say hi just to make me feel somewhat welcome. I'll be easy to spot. I'll be the pale white guy talking with a north-left-coast drawl. Second, if I have any problems with my ski during the flight (heaven forbid broken) where might be a good place to look for D3 of any vintage as a replacement? Jim
