Looks like the EXT to me based on the shape of the tail...

there is no way those skis could be a decent model. mountain dew? c'mon. magic mountain had a fleet of beginner mountain dew skis. my vote is for a beginner or intermediate model. the side cut looks like a "learn to carve" type ski, the flare on the tips are pretty extreme. sidecut measurements would help pin it down.

tip 104
waist 65
tail 92

measured by hand in inchs and coverted so might not be exact spec

Thats the question are they worth putting bindings on for anyone in my family or are they going to be mounted on the rec room wall

Its most likely the EnergY 320 then.

Looks like it's their entry level ski...

tree_skier: Do you have a beginner/early intermediate that could use the skis? If it were me (with my children), I'd mount them up and give them to one of them when 163 becomes an appropriate size. My children would probably fight over them becasue of the cool Mountain Dew graphics. That's all my kids care about when evaluating skis.

If I were you, I'd hold onto them for future use.

no beginner/inter in family

Son age 10 is skiing on Fischer WC SL 148's
Daughter 8 is on Fischer WC SL 133's

Wife expert cruiser

I would rather be snowboarding but have to ski with the clan (for Bob)

next season son moves to JIV's and needs at least GS skiis and hopefully he won't grow too much and can get another season out of the SL's he also might need SG skiis. He wants the mountain dew boards.

I am hopeing for another season out of daughters , but we'll see how much she grows.

I am hoping to update my gear before I need to be into 4-6 new pairs a season for the kids. would like new SL and GS boards for me.

Also would like to update the wifes boards, she has Soloman 3s's about an 8 yo sl ski, to an expert all mountain cruiser.

So it looks like the mountain dew boards won't fit the bill.

Make something out of them or sell em on eBay...

My friend has an older pair 02/03 of Mountain Dew skies that he uses all the time. People are always asking him about the skies..3 to 4 times in one day. I don't get what the big deal is but people really seem to like something about them. I bet you could sell them easy.

it is funny, people who know something about ski look at these mountain dew skis and dismiss them as worthless. people who don't know anything about skis would think the design is cool and they must be good skis volkl teamed up with porsche with their px0 series before, those were actually high quality skis they put a different top sheet on. but these mountain dew combos are definitely not meant for the serious skier.
