That’s a shame your wife didn’t like them.....that’s a great looking ski/nice structure on base.

Your posting might be improved by some minor tweaks:

-1/2 tune (always list base/side edge)
-Marker Griffon binding

Good luck...

So, these were bought for you?
What makes you think they are not right for you?
Have you skied them more than one day? Sometimes those of us who are progressing need more time to work with a new piece of equipment, etc. and sometimes, we just have bad days where we just aren't skiing well.

Amy, thanks for the questions.

My wife bought the ski to be her on piste powder ski. She skied them two days and did not like the feel, hence the tune to see if that was it. It was just not the ski for her. She is not a new skier, knows what she likes, she went another direction. Her loss will be someone else’s gain.

Ahhhh got it. And I get it-I get on some skis and have that same feeling. That’s a tough length to sell, but KSL always comes through for me if I’m patient, so I hope you’ve listed them there?

Jenny, no and of course I would not have thought of that. If anyone is interested in helping me find a new home for these skis I would appreciate it.

I am in Heber City, Utah if that helps

No problem - I just put a link over there so anyone interested can come here and see all the pictures, too.

I just bought last year's version, in the next size down, but I tend to like my skis a little shorter than others. Your wife and I must be about the same size because the BSL matches the boots I just replaced, too. New ones are just a smidge shorter.

Yeah, about 5’10’ish :) I think she might have just over powered the skis as she is a very fast skier too
