Fattwins 0 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Anything used in this country. Fully kayaked out 2 people just over 100000 new brand ski clothes last years 20000 Skis minus my country Canada's crazy taxes. 15% where my parents live. It balances I think. Most of us here are saving big bucks, No. Could we ever save as much back home, I think its harder. Link to post Share on other sites
