Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Buying skis off an ebay shop, but unable to find the skis/reivews anywhere else?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Im a first time buyer (solid intermediate, 6ft, 82kg), looking for new skis under £100 (ski quite often, be it at resort/indoor so renting isnt really an option). Problem is trying to find skis for this money isnt easy, and the only main place that i find skis is the ebay shops. The problem im having is the skis i find there (Rossignol, Orion etc) look good, are priced well for me...but the minute i google the ski to find reviews/comments on it etc nothing comes up. Even google images struggles to find any pictures on them. Is there a reason for this, and is there anything to be concerned about?

Main skis like;

Cheers guys Smile

edit; from scraping together infomation(everyone says different things it seems) iv gathered the Rossignol Opens are beginner skis? If this is the case, can anyone recommend any intermediate skis for the £100-150 price?

I think skis that get independent reviews tend to be at the top of the range and not reduced to this price bracket. Sometimes you have to take the shop or manfacturer on trust. Or hope that you hit something like below before it goes.
