Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm wondering if anyone can help me.
I purchased a pair of Atomic Theory 2013 skis in November due to their effusive reviews. However, I was told by a number of BASI trainers that the skis were too fat for me and hindering my development on-piste. Thus they have only been skied on for 3 days.
Is it possible to transfer the bindings to a new narrower ski, and would it be more cost effective to sell the skis without the bindings? Also, where is the best place to advertise them? I would be grateful for your advice.

Ben2012, what are your stats, ht. wt. etc. and are L1 or L2 BASI suplicant.
You're right, they get rave reviews for pretty much all conditions but it's possible that you've yet to have the skills to best them. If you take the bindings off I'd be tempted but I'm a weirdie free heeler. Your best chance of selling is with the bindings but the sad news is . . . skis depreciate faster than a fast thing and even new they are already being discounted on line. If it's just to do your BASI training then look to get a second hand set of narrower skis off fleaBay of the classifieds here to put you through your skills development and bring out the Theories when you're ready for them.
Edit: look on-line from the german etc ski discounters they sometimes split sell skis and bindings, if yours are rail mounted then other Atomic skis will accept your bindings.

Ben2012, Theory too fat for BASI on piste training and for exam, I turned up years ago on a 89 and a max width ruling was introduced after I passed (PK said they would anyway).
Sell them with bindings put them on here Buy sell and exchange for around £250 should sell, however I would buy some cheap SLs for training and keep the theorys to get your O/P up to speed.

Thanks for your kind replies! I was on a BASI 2 course and just needed a ski that was a little easier to get on the edges . Based on your advice, I am happy to sell them for £250 with bindings, with any postage/collection costs down to the buyer.
