Poster: A snowHead
|
I was wondering how much skis change each year? Is it worth spending extra money on this seasons skis or is it only the graphics that change?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

depends but often it is only the graphics
any particular models you had in mind?

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

Line Celebrity's
There are some 06/07 I have found for a bargain (85 GBP, RRP 299).

cbaylis, do they have bindings on?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

That's a very good price if they're brand new. Very unlikely to include any bindings, but neither would the RRP at £299. You'll have to do some digging about spec changes, but probably not that much difference. Could even be identical to the current model year.

They are binding free! I think I would buy several pairs if they had bindings on at that price!

I thought it was a very good price too so I have bought some... They are indeed brand spanking new! You are correct also that the RRP of 299 doesn't include bindings either!
Decided I'm probably not good enough to notice subtle changes over a couple of seasons and it was too much of a bargain... They are on ebay and I think there are more in different lengths if anyone else is interested?!

i wouldn't touch Line 06/07 skis with a bare pole...
That was their last season before K2 took ownership of them. Line Skis are notable for thier poor durability pre K2 manufacture...
By all means buy them, but don't expect them to last.....CAVEAT EMPTOR my friend

Didn't you know that last season's skis don't work at all? You have to buy new each year.

For that price they'd be good value even if they only lasted a week. I wouldn't stress over it, I'm sure they'll be ok

My Line Celebritys - bought 3 years ago, cheap, ex-rental bindings included, have been used for the equivalent of around 5 weeks, I'd say, including a very heavy week's use by my nephew, who's bit of a nutter on his skis. They show absolutely no sign of any problems.

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

I bought them... agree that even if they only last a week it's cheaper than renting now! I have read loads of good reports of the 06/07 Celebritys so I'm sure they'll be fine! Can't wait to get them on the snow
