I was really looking forward to trying out my new alpine touring skis from *company*. They were supposed to be top-notch gear made by people who love what they do, so I was pumped to head up into the backcountry. But man, was I let down. Those skis were flimsy - the edges started chipping after just a couple runs. The bindings kept coming loose, which was beyond annoying on the slopes. And don't even get me started on the boots. They were so uncomfortable, I got blisters every single time I wore them. All in all, I'd say the gear was pretty crappy and definitely not worth the money.
