 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
I've found a pair of K2 2010 Crossfire for £360 inc del for 170cms. I need o make sure these are a good price before I buy hence need a bit of advice. Are there any shops I can get these cheaper in mainland europe and get them shipped? Sport Conrad don't have them but there must be other shops. I fly to Chamonix on the 11th March so need to get a pair asap. Would they be cheaper there?
Help is appreciated.

I doubt it very much (Chamonix) - your currency is failing as we type...  seriously, sounds like a cracking deal and I'd be very wary of getting them shipped and happily in y our hands from the EU in the next 10 days.
*Caveat: someone else will be along in 10 minutes to tell my I'm wrong.

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

mrlossyman, Dunno about the K2's but I just bought some Rossi Zeniths from Wintershack Dundee for £418 including VAT and Delivery. Same skis were €599 in Ischgl and the same in Meribel two weeks ago. I'd buy before travelling if I were you.

We bought a pair of skis each from Snowtrax in November and their service and prices are excellent. Chap called Andy helped me with recommendations etc. Skis shipped safely and well packaged. Can't recommend them highly enough. Website is www.snowtraxstore.co.uk. Good luck

mrlossyman, try Telemark Pyrenees. If they don't have in stock ask them if they can source. Rarely beaten on price and service is superb. You won't get anything cheap in Chamonix.

I second Telemark Pyrenees. Sport Conrad were good when the exchange rate was better.

I live near Dundee and visit the Wintershack regularly. Its an amazing wee place but you have to be careful which model you are buying - sometimes the skis are older than you think and whilst sometimes the differences are cosmetic but sometimes they aren't! He has some of those Rossi Centenary Olympic 41's in just now. The ones that are basically, from what I could see, Bandits but with a wood finish and very retro. I was tempted but at this time of the year paying 299 for a ski, that although new, has been sitting around for maybe 3 years doesn't seem like a bargain to me. My skis are bunkered in Switzerland as I am going back at Easter and saved baggage not bringing them home. Bad move - 6 rentals later - skiing in the Caingorms and Glenshee has blown the savings about 5 fold. He also has some Bandits that are 72mm underfoot. They appear unknown on the internet - I reckon they are possibly made for the Bulgarian market or somewhere similar with virtually no off piste - are they the same as the wider Bandits otherwise? Without trying them you couldn't possibly tell.
