Skis have about 25-35 days. Bindings 65.

These were primarily my powder skis for last season. Wood core, but still light enough to tour and bomber bases. 90mm wide, very similar to the Line Prophet 90s. Not so much side cut, they ski like a fatter traditional ski. No quivering at speed, floats in pow, a real all mountain board.

I would keep them but they are a little long for me in the trees and bumps and need i to thin my quiver. I really liked to open them up (think mach ten on grinder into downspout) on steeper bowls and rip powder in them though. If they were 178s I would keep them for years and years.

However, I only weigh 140 pounds, so I think this would be perfect for someone north of 150 and a little taller than me.

Top sheets are very clean with normal type damage.

Bases are in really good shape. I took the pictures with the flash for dramatic effect to show exactly how "bad" they are. I dripped some ptex in at the end of last season when i detensioned the bindings. Most of what you see are just light scratches - there was only one significant dent in the bases, and i don't think it went to the core from a May slog in summit county.

I tried to be as detailed / brutal as possible with the pictures, so you could see what i'm talking about. Basically, they could use a tune from a real shop.

They've only been shop tuned once professionally, hand filed at Ski Sharp in December which is an amazing tune place that you all know about. I think Rick is the best - but that was about 20 days of use ago!

Bindings are scratched from two seasons. They work fine, keep you in when there supposed to and release when they're supposed to. these are the pluses, better and newer than the white and grey ones that have been going on ebay used for near $200.

Most of the cosmetic damage is around the tips of the skis (scuffing only) are from my skins which are a little beaten up there. The skins are now electrical taped to prevent further scuffing along the tip loops, and work fine. There is some minor fraying along the edge, but that happens.

I believe it to be a great setup for someone who wants a wider than traditional East Coast ski or a BC / all mountain setup.... the fritschis are definitely great to have on when Heavens Gate goes on wind.

Hit me up with questions, comments, concerns, requests for pictures etc.
Would prefer to drop off en route from NYC to the MRV but can also ship.

This will probably get moved, even though there isn't a dedicated for sale / sugarbush folder on this board.

You're right! :wink:

Moved to Misc. Hope any interested will reply here or thru PM. Granted there is not a specific board for sale, but there is a specific board for non-specific things... this one. 8)

I'm sure you won't be upset to sell these to someone who skis Mad River, or even Bolton, for that matter.

Actually, I'd suggest posting it on Alpine Zone, too, if you're registered there, and wish a wider market.
