So here in Japan I was talking to my regional HEAD representative. And he said that outside of sponsored athletes, Japan will not be importing race skis from overseas. HEAD will import other models for general skiers, but RD models will not be imported. So I was then asked...
"After demo days are finished, do you want to buy the new/used set of SL and GS skis at 50% off?"
That got me thinking, outside of the usual demo day scratches on topsheets and the occasional nick on the edges and base, it seems like a hell of a bargain. Anything related to running surface and edges can probably be fixed at a shop. Sure it might look a little battle worn, an they might be a little bit softer from extended use, but...
Would you buy demo day skis?
(I also figure coronavirus and lack of snow around the world may limit demo days and preserve the skis more)
