I've never bought any new race skis, only used stuff from gear swaps. Do these come with any sort of factory tune on them? Or 0/0 edge/base bevels?

Can I mount any binding on those Volkl DH skis? From the pic, it looks like a flat binding mount area.

flat binding mount area, no race plate.

I believe the GS skis are "yellow stickered" World Cup unfinished - you structure and bevel to your preference. And that the DH skis are set to the standard Volkl 2/1 factory tune. But don't hold me to this, just know that if you get your skis and they are unfinished, Volkl puts a yellow sticker saying such on there.

get em with bindings for $280

or the DHs for $240 (that one is getting it's icon created for it now).

HA! No, no owner am I. But a minion no doubt. Legend in my own mind.

Please share some feedback to the owner - remove out of stock "deals" from the site. Kudos for great pricing on gear that does not exist.

Forgive us Kneedropper. We just transitioned to a new POS system in the middle of September and things have been touch and go importing old inventory numbers from 3 different locations (our brick and mortar, our boot fitter, and our warehouse/web offices which are offsite). We have been pretty frustrated trying to get all these numbers accurate before things go crazy in the next few weeks, while simultaneously receiving pallets upon pallets of new gear. Hopefully when we do oversell we can offer a decent compromise on a comparable or newer ski, but that don't always come to pass. But we try. Again, we are all better skiers than we are programmers so some things do slip through the cracks.

And trust that any gear I am putting out here is most def in stock when I post it and ready to go.
