Hey!


Looking to buy new skis but as always would like to try and do so for as few pennies as possible. I am an advanced skier looking for a some all round skis (on and off-piste but not park). I have an option of buying some Scott Sheelas (incl bindings) for £160. I appreciate Fischer Koa,Dynastar Legend or Rossignal S3 would be better but are they worth the extra money? Any other recommendations for other skis would be helpful.


Thanks.

Re: Buying New Skis

For that money, they're a no brainer. Make sure they're the right length for you and in decent nick, if used. I can't think of any skis anywhere near that price with bindings. For any used ski, it's about condition.

For something very pokey and freeridey, a pair of Dynastar Paradise would do very nicely http://www.fall-line.co.uk/gear/skis/dynastar/exclusive-paradise-1011
