Great deal on a pair of skis for when you're ready to step it up. Unfortunately, I don't need a 3rd pair of DH boards.

But you cant do human slalom with those!

Human Downhill > Human Slalom.

These are second only to a NEXT for shredding the mountain!

I don't know why you would need a single pair of DH skis.

Men's race league?

Problem is the skis mentioned my the OP have a huge turning radius (45 M) and are extremely long (219) and are designed for pure Down Hill or Super G courses and most race leagues are more of a side by side GS layout that I find require a quicker turning ski - having been there done that. IMO, no one really needs a pure DH ski.

Naaahhh, too short of a radius. Real skiers don't turn.

Assuming you aren't racing, how could these skis ever be the best choice for skiing in a manner that would not subject you to having your ticket clipped?

This seems to be an attempt to be "manly" by having better gear than logic.

DH skis for a recreational skier are the massive pick up truck equivalent

At that price, I'm assuming they are stolen.

They go well with the pink fat tire bike.

I've skied DH skis on public trails for over 10 years now. Not much worse than having 208cm GS skis back in the 90's.

Used to see this on the tennis courts all the time. Folks with expensive tech they cant possibly take advantage of.

Same with golf clubs, most folks cant generate the clubhead speed to take advantage of the tech.

Better low Tech and skills .....And you always have an excuse if things don't work out as planned .

Those are pussy ski's. You should've skied 210cm Fischer Presidents in the 70's. They only went one way, straight.
