Silly it may sound to say this but I envy you. I have $1200 worth of ski equipment that I bought as a gift to myself(Santa is good to me) 3 years ago and I've had it out ONCE!
Minnesota is thought of as a cold snowy place by most but right now as I look out my window I see more grass than snow...lots more!
And contrary to what some say I find the Contour to be very good in snow!
