Kathleen I just picked up my new backcountry set up from Blue Zone Sports, South Lake Tahoe. I had researched the ski I wanted, and was impressed to see that they had it in stock, and in a variety of lengths. Mark was very helpful with my decision on length, and Dylan got me all set up with the mount and skins. (Not to mention Dylan spent a great deal of time with me on a challenging boot fit.) I ended up with the Tecnica Zero G Scout. Blue Zone has very knowledgable and helpful employees. I trust these guys and am very happy that we have a store of this caliber in South Lake Tahoe.
