Was it collection only? What was the postage cost?

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

With bindings? Bit short for a true GS ski but I sure good for instructor tech stuff.
Problem is deals like that are where you start on a path to a quiver of more skis than you can ski.

I collected as it's not too far from me. Happy to add £10 of fuel on and say the cost was £55

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

With bindings!
Well i'm already down this path, I did my L3 tech exam on a pair of 175 19m radius Dynastar Master GS skis, but i'm going to flog them and use these instead.

Are they not the same ski with a different top sheet?

They have a different radius so I doubt it

@swskier, I got a set of skis from a rubbish bin and tele'd on them for 6 years before passing them on to someone else....

I have the 2nd greatest bargain ever then?

I'm guessing these are from 2020 at the latest. There have been Dynastar equivalents for all of the Rossignol GS Master skis.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Sounds a great bargain.
I acquired two pairs of volkl race tiger from Interski Les Menuires for a modest rental fee of £60 a pair.
When I went to return the skis at the end of the week the shop had been gutted. Zero contact details on what to do with them.

I bought a pair of Factions from a snowhead as they were well used for the price of the used bindings (about £40 IIRC) I then used them for around 140 further days as they were a rock ski that I just got used to. Plus they looked kinda gnarly so got all sorts of useful people taking me for runs in new spots or patrol tipping me off about rope drops (seems that ski cred can sometimes outweigh gaper vibes  ) Probably the best buy I ever had in skiing. Actually the two powder laps with one girl would have been enough payback.

You know it makes sense.

I still have a pair of Movement Gladiators that I bought on here (from @the_doc, I think, when he started up WhiteDot skis?). Can't recall what I paid but it was on the order of £100 to £150 I think and they've served me well, I've had 32 ski days on them over the seasons according to my logs. Sadly the BSL on my new boots is too small for the bindings so they're just sitting in the shed...
