I am 90KG and 186cm tall. intermediate/advanced skier. Not expert. . I have always messed around off piste and am fairly reasonable at it but want t get better. Booked some off piste lessons in feb with my daughter so really need some skis to take with me rather than the AC 2 Volkl that i have used up until now. I used some wide twin tips last week in Chamonix from the USPA bag of skis and got on ok with them on and off piste.
Has any one anything out there gathering dust? I'm afraid i need something fairly cheap as long as its suitable for my needs age doesn't worry me.

Well the HSFW are a good six years old, but only used for 10 days in Japan. Great there, but I used the smaller 105mm standard one as a daily ski. £75?
The Lhasa here is about four years old, and although longer has more rocker so skis shorter on firmer snow. They were my daily ski after the HSFW were retired.
I liked them both to be honest.

@Mosha Marc, do any of the above include bindings?
I'm only in Litti, Litti, litti, Litti, Littleborough so may be interested

@homers double, that's handy.
I wasn't going to, but I may be tempted to part with a pair of Look Pivot 14's if I have to.

I may be interested, very interested!
We're off to the land of snow in two weeks and may be collecting some demo powder skis tomorrow but if that doesn't come off I'll be back in touch...
In the meantime, will they (the bindings when mounted) fit a size 8 boot and the dual pivot doesn't mean they're for touring?

No, those Pivots are these.

How about a pair of Stockli Stromriders? I have a very lightly used pair that may well fit the bill perfectly for your height and weight. They are a great do everything ski, very good off piste but still fine and be carved on piste. I need to check the actual length but they are approx 180-185 long.
Let me know if these interest you and I'll send the exact details.

How much were you looking to spend?
