    Wanted: Cheap POS ski (single fine) in Seattle

    Like the title says, I'm looking for the cheapest ski I can get my hands on to do some testing of overlapping mount strength with inserts. Happy to document what I find if anyone gives a shit. I'd like something without metal in the binding mount area, and a real wood core (i.e. not some shitty foam kids skis or something) but other than that I'll take anything. Broken in half is fine as long as there's a solid chunk I can mess with.

    I'm in Seattle, though out of town through the weekend.

    I've got these---they're not quite fence skis, but you can do some "real world" insert testing on the slopes with them when you're done instead of throwing them away? But I'm sure someone will have something that isn't $40.

    I just took down a ski fence.

    Have a pile of skis that you can have.
