Zilch, zippo, nada, nothing. That is what I got this year.

It's actually not that big..maybe a foot and a half long. It wasn't even very expensive, but certainly more than a three year old should be getting.
You are correct...I was seriously considering getting me a real one of those, but it was upkeep time and expense costs that prevented me from getting one.
Any boat is a big hole in the water that you throw money into..some friends of mine bought one two years ago. They say that BOAT stands for "Break Out Another Thousand" because they never received one bill for less than a grand..even for minor repairs.
Given that I am quite possibly the worst mechanic in the world I would be at the mercy of the boat mechanics here...and they would tear me a new one.
-
but certainly more than a three year old should be getting.
we all know who's REALLY gonna' play with it :)
actually I know what you mean about 'boat's...
I had one for a year.. got smart and sold it...
got my wallet back and moved on to other expensive hobbies...
well...at least they're expensive up front but usually don't require the 'upkeep' expenses per se

Yup they are REAL new..My lady gave me the ski bag on xmas day and when I said it was nice she said we'll fill it up boxing day..
Went out and picked out the skis(come with bindings as you know) poles, pants, jacket and gloves.
The mountain opened last week and has 240 or so cm snow...
We are going up with friends on Wednesday...
I noticed a weird thing when I found those skis on that web page..They were listed for 1200 US. They retail here for 1200 CDN..and I got them for 900cdn..600 or so US..
Does anyone pay 1200 US for such skis? That is like paying 1800 canadian for them...lol
