Just bought a pair of Solomon Crossmax 10 skis at a Girl Scout Yard Sale for $18. They are in unbelievably great shape. They look like they were skied on very little. They are only 150 cm long, but that is perfect for the purpose. I bought them for when I am patrolling at my little area. I have ruined the backs of several pair of skis with the toboggan running over them as I stand near the back of the handles when I pull it. They have a decent Solomon binding with a din of 12 so they will be fine. The binding length was set for a pair of Solomon boots (model down from mine) with the same sole length as mine so NO RE-DRILLING will be needed.

Yeah, they are a little on the short side, but heck, the price was right.

At PR I could ski on 100cm-200cm and it wouldn't make a heck of a lot of difference...still only 2 turns. ;)

Got a pair last year (165s). So far, they handle anything I throw at them.

And, dropping down to that size wasn't as drastic a change as I thought.

Didn't know they even made them that small...

It's good you have a purpose for them. I've seen alot of people buy the wrong length because of a good price and that isn't usually something that works out well for them.

Oh, I would have bought them at that price even if I did not have a purpose...then I would have put them in a ski swap or donated them to Special Olympics or something. I figure, I am on 160's now, so that should not be that big of a difference...and it is only Pine Ridge ;)
