Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all, I'm after a little help finding a ski for my wife, on a budget.
I am looking for a ladies all mountain ski. Length between 143 and 155, waist between 80mm and 90mm. Probably to be used 50/50 on/off piste. The budget is an issue (skint) so it's about trying to find the best possible deal out there.
Please let me know if you've come across anything in your internet shopping travels that skis well and is coming in at around £150 - £200max (yes, I know...)
Have found good deals on the K2 Superburnin and Fischer Koa 84 so far, the latter being the favourite but it's high in the budget bracket.
Many thanks,
Si

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

If you can push the budget a little, there are some Volkl Aurenas (£238) or Blizzard Viva X7s (£224) over at Absolute-Snow.co.uk, but TBH, if cash is properly tight - do you really want the added cost of shipping kit too and from the mountain?

Thanks all for the replies. Definitely can't stretch to above £200 though I'm afraid.
Some good options there, I'll add them to the list. Please do let me know if you come across any more.
Cheers y'all

@SiWithington, if you're skint, go to resort, visit rental shops, ask if there are 2nd hand/trade-ins, inspect it and ski it.
But remember to get ski carriage (and bag) for the return leg if you take this option.

This is a good idea, you will get last years skis at a good price, with the added advantage of trying them out first.
