 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi, now I'm at uni, I've got back into dryslope racing. I would say that I race at a pretty high level, but I don't want to use my lovely snow skis on the plastic!!
So, I need to get myself an affordable pair of decent SL skis (as a student I really don't have much cash to splash...). I am 100% expecting to buy a second hand pair. Where would people recommend looking? I'm a member of skibay, and my mate's getting me added to racers skibay, but as far as I can tell, no retailers have a second-hand sales system set up? As far as I can tell, my best/ideal option would be to get in touch with a racer/coach with loads of old skis, and dry and work out a deal. All I really need is a bit of edge on a decent pair! I really need to try and stay around £50 - its only dryslope!!
Thanks

Where are you at uni? Lothian Schools used to have an annual ski sale... Picked up a lovely pair of Blizzard SGs there in about 1994.

@jjebarron, you may already know about the Midland Ski Club? If not maybe worth checking their website / Facebook pages.
They used to have a second hand ski, equipment and clothing sale a few weeks before the main season started.
