SKI buying help?
K2 has the best skis in my mind, but a pair of rossingnols wouldn't be bad either. but isn't it a bit early to be looking for skis
Reply:Last year's nordica supercharger ignitions can be found for only a few hundred dollars brand new on ebay. They have vertical sidewalls and a wood core like the more well-known k2 public enemy, but they aren't a rip off because nordica twin tips are less well known. Whatever you get, get one from last year (not used though). Twintips usually go way down in price after the season is over, and they usually return unchanged except for the graphics at double the price of an older model. Buying even an 07 model could save you a few hundred bucks.
Reply:Good luck!!! A good pair of boots it $500...A good set of bindings is $150...A good pair of skis is $400.





I would recomend looking at last years model boots and skis or going to a ski swap to find a deal
Reply:well first you have to look at size and weight. I'm 5'4 or so and weigh roughly 100 pounds.Size 158 park skis are perfect for me. I use Volkl Dogens they are in my mind one of the great twin tips. Good brands include Volkl,LINE,K2,Rossingols.


Any bindings below 100$ are pieces of junk so 100$ and higher on those. Good boot brands are Lange,Salomon. Hoped this helped =]
Reply:Dynastar and Line make pretty affordable skis.


You can get last years models on line for $250...


I would suggest checking out a local ski swap for all of your equipment. You can get great new and used gear for half the price it would cost new.
