SKI BOOTS! Oh my god, boots are the most important parts of your ski equipment! The latest and greatest skis won't do diddly for you if all you have are ill-fitting rental boots!
How's the rest of your equipment? A new jacket alone could wipe out that $500 depending on which brand you go with.
Pick up some marino wool socks and baselayer items. A boot dryer. New helmet (with MP3 player support if you like to listen while you're bombing.)

I'll spend whatever I have to then to get good comfy ones because my feet are slightly wide. The Thirty-Two snowboarding boots I have fit really well on wide feet.

I like the trip idea but I already scheduled a trip to the Dominican for next month, and flights from Canada to elsewhere aren't overly cheap unfortunately.
And you could always get a cash advance on credit, hand in the receipt, and get a hooker. Or better yet, just bet it all on black.. then get a $1000 hooker.

Any other good ideas before I start shopping online for a new deck?
Hookers don't give receipts or accept debit/credit.

So one of the bonuses my company passed my way at Christmas was to go spend $500 and just expense it back to them.
So now I need to buy something/some things.
After thinking a little bit about what I'd like here's the list I've made, and I need to pick one or something else.
- IPod Touch (Not IPhone, gotta stay on my company's Blackberry Enterprise Server)
- 80GB IPod Video & Sound Dock
- New head unit for my S2000 with DCI and IPod controller
- Ski Boots (I have brand new skis and poles but haven't bought boots yet)
That's all I can come up with. I've got a digital camera, blackberry, etc etc etc many other technology items out there but definitely not everything. Anyone make some suggestions?
