 Poster: A snowHead

Sport Conrad is offering all their range at €99 a set! I have never heard of this make, but being a cheap skate I was wondering how far wrong you can go to get a 2nd pair that you use when its rocky, you are going on a pub crawl, or just hacking about and dont want to wreck or lose your good skis!
Anyone know anything about these ski's and what would be a good powder/back country ski?

Thanks for heads up - currently sitting with 2 pairs of skis in my basket - tempted by the Watch Out but that would just be insane , RC110 also looks pretty mad.

Those prices are crazy. Even I'm tempted and I'm about to spend my last pennies on a different pair of skis anyway.
Edit: do these sort of stock clearance prices usually appear on some brands like this at the end of season?

Oh well - trigger pulled even though I really don't need any new skis 
DannyB01, Conrad closeouts are usually exceptional. The R110 is a killer deal - I'm just not man enough for that.

Damn it, I wish that kind of sale would happen with telemark bindings! I already have 3 pairs of perfectly good skis. All I'm really looking for is a beefier alternative to my frankenstein Rottefella bindings.
Ah well, the €99 will be better spent on skiing at the 'gorm this weekend. *smug*

Whoah that's cheap. I fancy some short park fun skis for playing in fridges...

Wow... Candide Pows would make a very good daily driver...
|

Oh, and Driver 14s too if I recall, on or about the same price.
So roughly 250 Euros for a brand new rig; which is remarkably good if you're in the market for some new kit - (but remarkably bad if you're trying to downsize...)

What did you get?
Skied a few lines in Saalbach in January with someone on the Watch Outs, they seemed pretty good! Stiffer flex than I expected too.

I think I want some Lunatics or maybe Yards in 165 or 161. R79s are fairly appealing too.
I assume it would be possible to take the bindings off my current skis (WD Ones) and put QKs on both sets.
How much is postage?

kitenski, About a lot too many but as my 10 hours of stress after arriving at Innsbruck showed you never know when some airline barstewards are going to snatch them away.

Heard a lot of negative reviews on the durability of these.

yeah that's what im thinking, not sure whether to get some in 181 and use them as a park ski for next year and sell my punishers OR whether I should get some in 151 and use them on my summer setup.

I don't have enough money for these skis. I don't need more skis. I can't decide between the R110 or the Asention!?

I need to get bindings for my new Whitedot Ones.
If I buy a pair of Coreupt and package it with bindings, it pretty much costs the same as buying bindings on their own.
Free skis!!
Now, which bindings...

Intuit, me too.
the R110 speak to me, the asentions only whisper.
R110's it is then.
Boosterfaceman, i got a spare set of BNIB Storm branded (Vist) 412's with 115 brakes............ £100 incl P&P.

Anyone know anything about the Lady's Rock. Thinking of them as an off piste ski for my daughter. She's only 16 but skis well (BASI1 this summer) and has done a fair bit of off piste stuff. Would get 163cm which would be just a bit taller than her.

Colin B, Looks pretty good - also available with a Marker Squire at Euro 249 direct from the Coreupt website.

colin, getting squires will be the worst decision you make if she skis at all fast, I have griffons and I've broken them about 5 times this season, broken brakes, heel piece partially broken, toe piece exploded, afd broken, I'm never buying markers again for sure.

Ordered them anyway, they look suitable, she's quite keen. I think the bindings on her She's Troubles will fit, Jon may have to bend the bindings a little when he fits them

She only weighs 7 and a bit stone so she's not that hard on bindings, they're Dynastar badged Look PX 12 Jib on the She's Trouble.

I'm only 10, and griffons are a significantly stronger binding than the squire, the px 12s will be good.

I think I'll put the PX 12's on. Doesn't make sense to buy another pair. I may lose on the sale of the old skis but I think it will pay in overall.
