If anyone driving by Lincoln could collect and drop off to you my Kneissl Black Star XC 168 skis I'd be happy to give them to you. They have rental bindings, which could be useful.

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

@achilles,
Wow thanks, they look great. That's really generous. I'll see if there's anyone from the club can do anything.
If not would you be prepared to send them? The club would be happy to cover your time as well as the postage.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@achilles,
I've been in touch with Mike at the club and I'm afraid nobody's going to be in your area to do a pick up.
If you're happy to send them, I think the simplest thing is if you package them up and give me or the club your details, length, weight, height (of the package - not you!) and when to collect and they will organise the freight.
Also bill for your time and materials.
Would that be ok with you?
Thanks again for your generosity.

@Hotdogger, If I have the necessary packaging already, I'll pack them for you free - as long as you are happy with bubble wrap and a ski bag. They are not new, but they were still going well when I last skied them. As, sadly, my skiing days are over, I am glad they are going to be of further to a good cause. I'll PM my contact details.
Cheers

After a few hiccups, the skis were handed, packed and labelled, to my local friendly (yes really) UPS depot yesterday.
They were a demonstration pair at a Tignes pre-season snowheads bash years ago. I liked them so much that I persuaded Tim McCann to let me buy and keep them for the rest of my stay - with my Scott Missions being used as part exchange. In turn that meant that they are a rental standard pair, with guarded tips and fully adjustable bindings so I hope they will be handy for the Club.
I have had my own pair of skis for about 40 years, so it was a bit of a wrench knowing it was the end of an era for me. However, looking again at the video, I have a warm glow about where they are going.

@Alastair Pink, It's been a pleasure to ski with you. I shall always remember our run down from Piz Gloria to Lauterbrunnen

Off the top of my head we've got a set of K2 Juvys, a set of Rossignol passions and a set of 1080's in the loft. The 1080's are missing a brake though so unless someone has a spare they might not be much good.
Theres probably poles to match the juvys and rossi skis.
If you give me the address and the total weighs under 30kg and is less than 1800mm long I'll send them FOC.

@Hotdogger, got a message from M that the Kneissls have arrived - impressive effort by UPS.
With @homers double's offer as well, looks like the OP was worth the effort

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

@homers double,
That's fantastic. Thanks so much. I'll PM you soon.
I'm sure one of us can come up with a brake for that 1080!

@Hotdogger, hello. Glad you posted this again as I’ve been meaning to reply I might have some kids gear to donate after our next trip (this April) - boots, maybe skis, I think it will be grown out of by next season. Will you take stuff after April?
PS Its in London.

I might have some things, including quite decent boots. Also have cross country skis, poles and boots if that's of any interest?

FAQ
On a personal note I'm sorry that your skiing days are now over, I enjoyed meeting and skiing with you on several occasions.
