Blossom White Outs
170 cm, 14m Radius
Fitted with Marker WC Piston Plates and Excel 16 clamps set for 309 mm BSL.
Skied four times and in perfect condition.
The bases are fully saturated and the edges are at 0.5/3 from the factory, they have been stoned but not filed.

Why I am selling:
I ordered the 176 cm ski and, with typical Italian efficiency, I received 170's in 176 packaging.
It was easier to keep them than return through customs and I got a good deal on 176's because of this error.
I wanted to try them so I had them mounted with the best but found I really liked the 176's better for my style.
Skis flat cost nearly $700 delivered and binding setup cost me $550 retail.
That's $1250 invested and I will sell for only $650 plus shipping

Who is it for:
A high level carving skier who weighs in at no more than 160 pounds and really likes to make a lot of turns.

Who is it not for:
Folks that buy skis for prestige value, nobody knows what these things are.
Folks that skid turns and don't like warp speed.

These are pure carving machines and some of the best skiers on PugSki have them in your their quiver.
They work much better than pure slalom skis in the real world of the frontside with some fresh snow.
I'll post pictures soon, I'm travelling through the weekend.

Now that's a ski.
Luckily for me it's a 170, so I can resist.

Back home after a near miss in airline hell.
Pics below of the tops and bases.
Since they have only been skied four times, they are in factory condition.
The factory structure really seems to work well.

I still want $650 plus shipping and won't come down.
Another way I would go is to pull the plates and clamps.
I would even plug the holes if another binding is wanted and use blue tinted epoxy to match.
$350 plus shipping that way.
