Inner Bootworks at Stowe is my favorite boot shop, but I doubt it's worth the drive up there to just buy boots. but if you feel like going away for the weekend anytime soon to go skiing, head up there.
re: ski's, I don't think it matter nearly as much as boots, and have little problem buying them sight unseen/untried. I've bought my last couple from Sierra Trading Post. you can find coupons online and get some sweet deals.
like
http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/3...-Bindings.html these. find a coupon, and they're yours for $450 ish. you can probably do better even.
edit: the ones you linked to are fine as well. but I don't think you should plan on buying skiis for just a season or 2. especially if you don't ski that much, you can get 4-5, or more, seasons out of a good pair of skis (it's really about "days skiied" not "age"). I think it's better to spend $50 more on something you'll grow into (like the Rossi b78's) instead of something ok for now (b74's)
