Tree Skis

[RossiSkier]

Need another pair of skis just for skiing trees. Not the glade areas but the woods. They must fit the following qualifications.

*They need to be used with demo bindings on them.

*They have to float so must be 74cm mid or up.

*Need them inexpensive enough that I don't mind taking core shots on the bottoms.

*Need to be very short to get my large frame around objects normally painful to run into.

Anybody have skis like these?

i love my legend 8000s in the trees. used demo skis should be floating around somewhere on the cheap, ebay most likely. they are floating around ebay for $500 new w/o binding or slightly more with a p12. worth a look, try them on a demo. i find them to be quite quick and nimble.

Yes, the 8000's are 117/89/110. They would be perfect. Would like a pair at 158cm. Not new. Wouldn't care if they were beat up a little. I'm gonna wreck them this season anyhow.

You dig those legends huh? I will admit I do like the ski I have the swallow tail Intuitiv BIGS....however there are MANY MANY choices for this application. Just like everyone on here says time and time again...DEMO DEMO DEMO...go back to the place you DEMOed at the season end...and pick up the skis you demoed...HA

Demo-shemem-o, you're missing my point. I'm looking for a pair of skis from Ebay to trash in the trees. Dynastar from the class of 2003 and 2004 have several qualified selections.

2002/2003
DYNASTAR TWINBOARD LITTLE BIG FAT 116-88-103 158
DYNASTAR INTUITIV BIG 117-89-110 158
DYNASTAR INTUITIV J.NOBIS 117-89-110 158

2003/2004
DYNASTAR TROUBLEMAKER 112-78-102 155 14; 165 17m
DYNASTAR INTUITIV 74 113-74-99 167 16m
DYNASTAR INTUITIVBIG PRORIDER 117-89-110 158 21m; 168 24m
DYNASTAR INSPIRED BY J.NOBIS 117-89-111 158, 168
DYNASTAR ALTITRAIL WIDE 103-75-92, 150 18m, 160 21m
DYNASTAR LITTLEBIGFAT 116-88-109 158 21m, 169 24m

The Troublemaker and the Intuitiv 74 with 17 and 16m radius' would be perfect in their smallest size. I'm gonna hunt down a pair on the 'Bay.

They're a little too short and too fat and too expensive for me. But we're on the right track. Nice spotting.

Here's some Troublemaker's for ya...

Probably too exspensive for you, and they're new...

Why are you going so short? I know they are tree skis, but where there are tree's you'll find powder, and where there is powder, you'll find people nose diving on goonie skis...
