  • How many hours did you put on your ski this year so far?

    I put 84 hours on the ski this year. Up in Minnesota we have an abbreviated season, end of May-September, so that's pretty good.

    Not like you southern boys, that basically have a 10-12 month season.

    So to make things fair, I am going to introduce the "season norming scale"

    #hours/# of months you are able to ride.

    Calculating this, it comes out to about 21 hours/month for the season.

    Who has the highest average hours per month?

    Here in N.J. - April through October - 106 hrs. But October has just begun; so figure another 15. 121 /7 =17.3

    Wow- you do ride a lot. Costly ain't it!

        Meeper: Did you get a good deal? What's the name of the dealer? I might have to get one for my wife!

          DEAL

          I know that people do not like dealing with them very much, hard to hagle prices because they know they are the only ones with skis left. They are SHorts Marine in Milsboro DE, Lewis Beach area.

              106 on my 05 RXP. But I may be done for the year because of work.

              106/5= 21.2

                  Meeper: A buddy of mine bought a yellow '04 leftover in March from a place in Pa. for $8147 exactly. It was some type of internet blow out. I think there were four at that price. 2 green, 2 yellow. I will post the name when he gets back to me.

                    We put around 55 hrs on each of ours since the end of May. Hopefully we'll get another 20 hrs or so on them this season.

                      hours per month

                      55 hours in July to September (I had to promise my son I wouldn't use it until his exams were over!!! - bought it new at the begining of MAY - THAT wasn't easy!!!!) = 18.3 per month.

                          Thats awsome. I have called around to every place around here, the cheapest place was $9500 for 05 RXTs and i can not find anyone but shorts with new RXPs.
