By the way, I bought the Scratch skis in the Ski Barn in Ramsey, NJ. I got very lucky. It took me a while to get over the fact that they would be selling a brand new pair of undamaged Rossi skis for $150 - thinking that there was some 'catch' i wasn't seeing.
They are last year's model, but the Scratch skis haven't changed much (if any at all) in a couple of years, so I think I got a very good deal on them. Hope I am right and they aren't made out of wax or something
