Hello, We are a Company called skipool. "WE SELL SKIS!". More accuratley
right now we sell racing equipment. What happens every year, if ski racing
is your full time job, your sponser's rep. gives you 2-20 pairs of this
years race skis plus boots , helmets , suits ... depending on who you race
for. These skis are the R&D skis, the best technology available. Your job
as a company sponsered athlete is to win, and test the skis, giving the
company feed back so that in 2 or 3 years they can introduce that ski to
the retail marketplace. To make a long story short we sell "race skis"
obtained from company sponsered athletes at a provincial and national team
level. If you have never skied on race stock, the difference is worldly;
like the difference between your Car and Al Unsers or your skates and
Gretsky's. Also you may not know it, but the Canadian National Ski Team is
an amatuer orginization which, to the athletes, means no huge personal
Corprate sponsers. So, we sell their gear. Some has been used and lots is
still in the plastic but ethier way this is the only place in the world to
buy a the fastest skis and the best Descente suits made. These guys have
every piece of gear known to man. And they would like you to buy it.

    By using the internet we are trying to do several things.
1.Contact a global market to sell Canadian equipment.
2. Promote ski racing, heighten awarness and hopefully Sponsership for
World Cup,Europa Cup and NorAm skiing athletes.
3. Start a Retail Store to Sell Skis Online!
This part is new. So we would like to tell you what we can do and would
like your input on how comfortable you are with the internet aswell as what
would be important to you in an online ski rep.
We can buy new skis from Rossignol,Salomon,Dynastar .... as well as
boots,bindings,deflex,bags everything you see in a store.
Retail Stores sign a contract to sell a company's equipment. In that
contract is a lowest possible advetised price. This is the least retailers
are allowed to advertise they sell Skis for. This provides that huge
retailers don't cut out the little guy and makes sure top of the line skis
are associated with top of the line price tags.

Rossignol ex's:
Suggested Retail $650 $US
We could sell you these skis for $430 $US, $220 less, 66% of retail.

Well, we are poor and we think that type of logic is stupid. In Banff we
have been buying skis from reps or through a pro deal for half retail since
time began.
If we could provide equipment, online technical support to help you with
making the right decsision, UPS 4-5 day delivery, and 100% money back
guarantee, would you buy skis online? And would you tell everyone you know
that it worked very well and saved $220?

We believe that the best way to help you feel comfortable with an online
ski store is to help you feel comforable with the internet.
Download Netscape.
You can download Netscape for free at
http://home.netscape.com/comprod/mirror/client_download.html
or order the retail version at the same place.
We are looking for help telling the world about skipool. If you liked
skipool and would like to link to us or know somewhere our link should be,
please feel free to contact us at flakes@www.skipool.com or add us to any
link list you would like. We would really appreciate it.
Soon we'll have Malcom Charmichael World Cup Photography
Race Results, Canadian Team Bio's, A sponsered athlete of the month,
...full retail Skis & Snowboards......
But first we are trying to get a feel for if an online ski store is
fesable. These are services we would really like to provide. If you agree
please visit skipool, send us mail or buy something. If there is a good
response, we promise to be able to provide anything snow orienated you can
dream of, for way less, before Christmas.

If you would like to add a link to skipool, we have attatched an animated
gif skipool logo for you to use. Just copy/paste the code below in the
<body> tag of your html document and add the local pathway to the folder
where you plan to keep the wesellskis.gif. Any questions call us at
flakes@www.skipool.com
