|
I'm searching for affordable used skis, priced around $100, suitable for my total beginner girlfriend who stands approximately 5'8 and weighs 125lb. I'm considering the two options mentioned earlier. Given the skiing locations in Ashland and Shasta, Oregon, as well as NorCal, I'd like to know if either of these options would be a good fit, and if so, which one you think would be better for her skill level and the terrain she'll be skiing on.

What options? Assuming this isn't some crude cut and paste the recommendation would be to check out ski swaps in your local area and/or Craigslist, ebay. At that price skis aren't worth shipping in the US so you're limited to what you can find in person so specific recommendations are useless. I assume she already has boots otherwise skis aren't much use. Most entry level piste skis come with adjustable system rail bindings so at least that should work.

@Jonny996, Sorry to trouble you but in your opinion are the C quality skis on this website too far gone to be worth the hassle or are they ok?

@Jonny996, Thank you for your answer. I suspect B is the way to go.
