Yesterday I was riding with my club at one of the local hills (we don't have mountains) in Ontario.
Interestingly enough, the resort (Devil's Glen) was hosting a demo day by snowboard manufacturers for retail outlets in the greater Toronto area.
Brands included Capita, Arbor, Salomon, Ride, Lib Tech, Gnu, Never Summer, Burton, Endeavor, Yes, Jones, Now, Union.
We rarely get that kind of demo day here in Ontario.
And this was all next year's equipment!!!
Since I wasn't a retail staffer, technically I wasn't allowed to demo any of this stuff. But of the three boards I wanted to try - Never Summer Ripsaw, Salomon Man's Board, Endeavor Clout - only Salomon gave me a hard time.
But when I went back after lunch to try and demo, all the demo guys were at their own lunch and I couldn't get any of the boards.
:crying:
