 Poster: A snowHead

A friend of mine is after a set of these (last years model) and i do recall seeing some go on ebay not too long ago (at largely marked down prices aswell)!
Just curious if anyone knows where i might be able to pick a set of these up?

Sean_daly93, If you are in touch with Andy,why not ask him? My information is that the Inferno was only ever produced in 155 and 165,as it is based around FIS regs...and this comes from a guy that has fitted bindings to a number of pairs.
I also strongly suspect,that the ski posted by gatecrasher, is one and the same(albeit with a slightly different decal).Again,sure that Andy could clear up any confusion.
And the guy running said auction,is a chap called Lindon,and he most definately is not a skier(nice though he is)

Or wait till tomorrow,when mine should land,and I will measure them.
Given that all is as I think it is? Then £129 is a steal

snowskisnow, From what i can see the model on ebay isn't the one i am after. Different variation of the inferno maybe?
Deffinitely not an FIS type ski though looking at the specs.
Anyhow let me know when you get yours because as you said, they are a steal!

Latest update They have landed,and they are indeed 161cm  It now appears there are two variations,as you suspected.Mine being slightly softer than the one posted by gatecrasher,as well as being 161 not 165cm.On the plus side,they are brand spanking in original wraps.
My reasons for having them may be very different to yours,I suspect? For me,they are a back up ski,as I usually thrash around on fats  So very much reserved for when its piste only,and then only if absolutely essential.I'm having Quiver Killers put in,so no additional binding cost.For me,at £129,a cheap solution.
The other skis appear to be closer to slalom spec? and,as they come with Vist bindings,will also be a good buy and a very capable ski.As ever,the choice is yours

Sean_daly93, The piste precision model which I believe is the one you are looking for can be had in a 165 from Nevis sport in Newcastle upon Tyne. I am not sure if other branches are stocking them, or if they can mail them out but worth a call.

No, the slalom ski is 'Race Carver' and Mounta1nGoat's 165's are in front of me now, the 'piste precision' is the softer tune, slightly wider spec.

I got 165cm infernos from that ebay seller for £99 delivered back in June, maybe worth asking them if they are expecting any more in stock???
