Is it cheaper to buy skis and related items in Europe than in the US?

I was in france a couple of years ago. Ski boots were cheap, skis
were not.

The prices I was comparing too were canadian and american
prices look good to canadians so I really don't think you will
find too many bargoons...

I was looking af rosignol skis (made in france) and salomon boots (also
made in france) at the time. I bout sx 90 boots.

Note that I found parts for boots etc to be real cheap there. I broke a piece
of my boot and the $10 (can) cost $3 (can) in france.
