What year Racetigers are they? The skis didn't come with a race plate already integrated?

I don't think the race stocks come with an integrated plate, not everyone wants to use Marker. Plus these are used (I haven't gotten them yet) and I'm pretty sure they are the 06 version.

I spotted some 06 Salomon GS race skis on skis.com today for $69.00 and tried to order them. They disappeared while I was ording them. They are back, but for $199, so I think the price was a mistake and they caught it while I was ordering.

Anyway I'm now on a mission to find a pair of GS skis for $100 or less. Almost any brand will do from within the last 5 years. Preferably new.

EvoGear sells a whole crapton of their older stock on ebay.

Example of one pair, GS, 167cm, 59$ + 12.95 S&H, new:

Thanks, I picked up a pair of Racetigers on ebay. I know about Evogear, they had some Moto GS's for $99 that I missed out on. 167's are too short anyway.

Oh, and anything K2 with team in the name is a Junior race ski.

Well that was just an example. K2 Mach GS 186's are there for 79.90. But either way. I always look at both EvoGear *AND* their ebay listing specifically. Seen situations where something ends up on ebay, but NOT on evogear.com

This gave me an idea for a thread: Ski Deals Thread
