i can't imagine starting the ski season without a pair of sticks, but i also couldn't imagine dropping over $500 on something that may or may not do the trick. what skis were you on before? if you have M1000 binders i imagine you were not skiing rossi which normally get mounted up with looks, iirc. |
I have to agree with river. I have never skied on them but my skiing bud, who is a high-end skier bought these B2 sticks untested because he got a good deal (he muttered something about being born in VT so he had to buy rossis....)
Now I get hear him whine and complain about how slow and unresponsive the skis are. Comes down in part to your skill level. For a mid-level skier, they are probably OK, but they are not gonna help you advance.
