Why don't you just return it? I never had a problem returning stuff to Moosejaw. DWR doesn't last anyway, you have to re-apply it periodically.

Not a chance. One open blue trail is called "Boredom-on-skis- punctuated-by-rocks-and-morons-on-boards-being-hyped-by-media". > thinking about flying out next weekend so i can get a couple of turns in > before my knee surgery. if the doctor botches the job it may be my last > chance to ever turn my boards... Then forget about the resorts. Hire a snowmachine and have them take you up high and ski unbroken powder on your own. - Lord Slime
