I skiid fairly consistantly for 3 or 4 years, just renting skis, then dropped off a bit. I gave snowboarding a shot for a couple of years, and then last year our mountain never opened. I plan on heading up to the mountain more frequently, and am considering picking up a pair of skis. I'm 5'10", 145lbs, and would consider myself an intermediate skier. I like to ski all over the mountain, and don't tend to favor any particular terain.
I'd like to keep skis, boots, and bindings under $700, am am trying to locate a good deal on some equipment that would fit my needs. eBay seems to be a good option - I've seen a lot of auctions for 2004 or 2005 model skis that are still new, but considerably cheaper than the 06 models. I think this may be the best way to go, but I'm not really sure which models to look at. Unfortunately I don't really have the chance to demo any skis where I leave, so I basically have to buy sight unseen.
I'd appreciate any recommendations.
Thanks, Josh
