Nordic Junior Ski Boot Rental?

Been trying to find XC ski boots for the girls on eBay. The hard part is getting the right size, because you can’t just walk into a shop around here and try them on. Luckily they’re so damn cheap on eBay. Normally $63 brand new, I haven’t paid over $11 for nearly new. Even with […]
