No way I'm dishing out $500 (even at discount) for a ski that I'm going to beat up.
The cost of skis is actually going down..for me at least thanks to the internet. My Rossi Sprayer BCs were only $170 on Steep and Cheap and with binders and mountain the set up was still only around $350..and back in college I paid $500 for my K2 El Caminos with Marker M-51 binders..Race Stock Atomics are uber expensive but you can get good deals on 1-2 year old models..
