WTB: CHEAP 165-175cm ski for a teen

**scmartin69** · 02-08-2021, 06:36 PM

My son's buddy has been borrowing my wife's powder skis and she's getting tired of it...

He's an (upper) intermediate and a good athlete and tall, just doesn't have much time on the hill. I'm looking to buy him something easy skiing 165-175cm, with some stability as those jackasses ski waaaay too fast for their skill level. Mostly skiing Mt Rose in Tahoe, so some width would be appropriate.

Don't need binders as I have plenty.

Really want to keep this down to $100-150 out of pocket. May be willing to pay a bit more for something I can pass down to the younger boys at some point.

On a different note, Rossi Experience 88s for sale locally that might fit the bill; anyone know anything about them?

Thanks in advance for your time and abuse...

If he's not too concerned with them being pink, I have a set of the 174 Rossi Scratch Stz (140/110/133) that I could donate to the cause if you want to pay the shipping.
They were actually men's skis but I get complimented by little ripping skier girls every time I ski on them
I tuned them last winter thinking I'd ski them at our town ski hill, but my husband keeps buying me new skis so they rarely get used.

I think they may have been drilled twice but they're in excellent shape and shipping shouldn't be terrible from WY-> CA
Holler if interested but np if the color is too much

Props to babybear for the sticks! Those graphics are SICK.
