New Nordica N7.1W Carving Skis 150 cm (2004 model)
New Atomic e3 Carving Skis 150 cm (2004 model)
I've also seen some Rossignol 10.4 and 10.6 cut skis, I think 160's |
I recently bought the Dynastar Omedrive 154cm online, probably even from the same ebay seller you're checking. The skis have been great so far. Simply fantastic. I've skied for 8 years but only started skiing a lot last winter.
I also bought some Fischer bindings online. The skis cost about $100 with shipping, the bindings about $60 with shipping, and mounting at a local Ski Market was $40. Total: $200 for skis and bindings. I had shopped around for a long time but couldn't find a better deal than this. Sometimes stores would have a $199 ski deal but the skis were usually not my size.
Being also a poor grad student, I wouldn't have been able to afford my own skis without buying stuff online. I bought my boots in person though--there's no other way.
BTW, I'm 5'6" and 128 lbs, and the 154cm skis have worked well so far.
