What do you do with 10 year old straight skis?

give up?

If you've exhausted all the fine suggestions as non-starters, consider this:

http://freecycle.org

I use the one for my town. I've given away everything that I don't want to see in a landfill but no one will give a penny for. Just gaveaway a rug there on Monday. Costs noone nuttin.

p.s., ever notice when you have a yard sale and put your boards out for $5 nobody takes them. But later that week when you put em with the trash they are gone before the 'man comes!

Well I put them out with the trash today and lo and behold they were gone when I got home...sniff, sniff.

Honestly did not think the G-men would take them so perhaps a neighbor snagged them...

I think I would have an easier time cutting off a finger than tossing out old skis. I still have 1978 Renn Tigers to prove the point. Can S444 bindings be serviced?

Geez, I haven't heard "Cubco" in many years... Ah, the old "ankle breakers"...

Those were the days, before than ambulance-chasing liability lawyers were in their prime...
Now that I think about it, I'm suprised that Cubcos didn't dissuade me from skiing... Then again, the notion of "premature release" was just something we all were accustomed to. At least I missed the leather boot era. I digress.

I' m ready to make a 4 shot glass holder out of my old K2 Fours (193cm)..i've seen where the shot glass is held onto the ski by a rubber suction cup...any ideas on where to find that?? i have the ski and the glasses, just need the suction part...i guess i could scuff up the bottom of the glass and ski and epoxy/silicone the glass to the ski too...but i'd be nice to be able to remove the glass for cleaning etc...
