Sorry, this may be completely clueless question as I’ve never owned my own skis, but I’m interested in these for a similar purpose. Would it be easy to change the setting on the bindings for my boot size or is it a professional job only?

@abricotine, they are rail bindings, like hire skis. No problem adjusting bindings if you know what you are doing or can follow instructions. The video linked shows them to be Z12 bindings on the RaceTrack rail, and you can clearly see the dots and boot size labels above and below the RaceTrack logo in the video.
The only slightly difficult bit is working out where to find the forward pressure indicator, and knowing what the correct reading is. And knowing what DIN value to set them to, if you don't already know.

@abricotine, nice ski but maybe a clueless question : you’ve made sure these will be long enough for you or the purpose you intend?

@ousekjarr, thanks, I did think/hope they looked adjustable so that sounds very promising!
@ster, thanks, I’m only 161 and tend to take a 150 indoors at Hemel (I’d go a bit longer outside in the mountains) so definitely tempted!

Hi.
150 is a good option for indoors for your height. Many people who are 175 or taller ski use 155 at Hemel.
I’m pretty sure the forward pressure is set automatically on adjustable bindings . The DIN is easy to set up. The Hemel crew could probably do it for you. It’s generally based on ability and weight (I do my own).

Hi, I would also be interested in these skis if still available and can arrange collection.

@archaway, thank you, I have only skied the RC4 PWR before — wonder if these could be on the stiff side for me so if you have another buyer go ahead

Hi yes the skis are available.
These skis are not very stiff at all. I think they are a forgiving version (possibly junior but I’m not sure).
I found them forgiving and easy to handle (but that’s obvs personal opinion ).

OK then I am definitely still interested in that case!

@JohnS4, @NJClark, I have just sent archaway a message that I don’t think they work with my gripwalk boots  so I have sent him my apologies that I don’t think I can take them after all
They look like fantastic skis so I’m a bit gutted

Last sale fell through. They didn’t have correct ski boot soles.
Actually available again. I’m on holidays at moment. Will be back in UK for pick up Monday if you are still interested

Strange that, I thought that generally GW boots would go into non-GW alpine bindings, and that it was non-GW boots that couldn't go into GW bindings

Thanks for the info, it's my son that wants the skis, for indoor use at Hemel, however his boots also have gripwalk soles so I'll check whether he is still interested, he does have standard alpine soles that he can swap on to his boots, but I'll need to see if that's something he wants to do or not. I must admit I didn't consider that the skis would not have GW bindings but they look as if they are 2018/2019 model so I guess GW boots were very new (if existed at all) back then.
I'll send him a message and we'll let you know tonight if he's still interested
Thanks,
John

Those are Gripwalk bindings on the skis in the video, you can clearly see the logo

I checked with my son, he will have the skis, when you get back from holiday we can arrange pickup/payment details.
Thanks

Yup. Around 34 seconds in it has the grip walk logo on them.
