If you ever want to get rid of the Formidable and the ?? Star Dotted Spalding ( what are they ? ) , let me know !
The Starboards and the Formidable are part of the permanent collection. If I come across any more I will keep you in mind. If you want the drilled spectral, I will send them, but they are 185.If you ever want to get rid of the Formidable and the ?? Star Dotted Spalding ( what are they ? ) , let me know !
Hi Dave!! Where might I locate the "starting gate" poster for my black squads? My mom threw mine away 30+ years ago ... and now I need this poster for my workout room. I still have these sticks hanging on the display rack (with BLACK spring MRRs mounted on them). Sweet package, but will probably never ride them again. Pushing 60 years old. (p.s., I also studied geology for BS degree, but later got masters in civil engineering. Still marvel at knowing about the origins of mountains that I see.)

Thanks for the tip, Dave.Hi -- check with Richard Allen at Vintage Ski World. He would be your best bet! If he doesn't have the original poster, I know he has a big printer and may be able to print one.

Spalding skis have a loyal following, we have a few of them here on PUGSKI @Lowell Watson is one that comes to mind. One of the shops I worked was a Spalding dealer, they were not always appreciated by the average skier but a fine brand for those in the know.View attachment 72173 View attachment 72174 View attachment 72175 View attachment 72176 View attachment 72177 View attachment 72178 View attachment 72179 View attachment 72180 View attachment 72181 View attachment 72182
Found yesterday ....
Too late to try them on the snow !
I just cleaned them and ajusted the bindings for my Salomon SX-91 Equipe
These are from 1986 and are in good overall shape .
Enough to ski powder next year .... in fact enough to burn the slopes of the little ski hill I go to .
The 09 means it is the Slalom version so it should be perfect for deep powder ... next year !
It is a shame , throwing away perfectly good skis . I got them for $9.99 Cdn .
The bindings are bombproof and should do the job even if I hate Marker .
If I could reach out the general public , I would try to save every pair over 2 meters : give me your ski and I will find them a place forever .
Spalding is my favorite ski brand ....
All I have to find now are Sideral and Formidable .... that can still be skied .
My ultimate goal is finding a pair of Toni Sailer - my first pair of skis - but I am dreaming there !
But what is life without dreams ?
Are the heels all the way forward and still too far apart or heels all the way back and too short by .25 ?View attachment 82851 View attachment 82851 View attachment 82852 View attachment 82853 View attachment 82854 View attachment 82855 View attachment 82856 View attachment 82857 View attachment 82858 View attachment 82859
Another pair of Spalding found in a basement ...
$15 !!
Sad ... it misses .25in to accept my boots . Can't go farther ... should I drill them ? Only the toes binding ?? Would it matter a lot ??
The gadget is full of ''micro-beads'' of carbon that were used to dampen vibration ... if you could believe that !
1987 , these Spalding VVC Titanium .
Not the Sideral or the Formidable but still ...
I am waiting for your advice , gentlemen !
