This is an exceptional pair of Fire Arrows. They are three seasons old, and have been skied 25 days or less. They show some signs of wear, as the top sheets of these skis tend to scratch, then essentially get no "worse" if that makes sense. They don't look brand new out of the wrapper, nor do they look heavily used.
These were set up by a "pro shop" that actually does work for a number of WC skiers, and these were done properly. Sidewalls pulled, top sheets shaped, bevels set at .7 and 3 degrees, based ground and structured, then multiple cycles of hotboxing with SBC-1, and later Holmenkol Beta. That services costs the athletes $130/pair. If you want to PM me, I can give you more details.
The skis have just had the one grind. Bases are in excellent condition, but they don't look like a fresh grind. However, no reason to need to think about a grind for a LONG time. Edge wear is minimal. they have been touched up with stones, or a SnowGlide.
Tha bases are loaded with wax, and always have been. Skis are always stored with either Alphamix or Beta.
The skis are 127-84-112.5., Radius is 18M. Typical price was $1300. They come with an excellent system binding made by Marker. One of the best system bindings out there, according to our @Philpug. DIN is 4-12, and it's a very solid interface.
If you're reading this, you're probably;y familiar with the ski, which is no longer made by Nordica. Tough to hit that price point. The ski is exceptional on firm snow, and skied out crud. Incredibly damp ride, and solid as they come, the ski will respond well to a skilled skier, and will arc rail to rail all day long. Snap, Power, Control. The ski has a great, almost cult following for good reason.
It's built like a top quality WC GS ski. Two layers of titanal {metal}, laminated wooden core. Top quality materials in terms of base and edge. It skis like a rock solid GS ski, wider and stable, and a shorter radius.
They are being sold because they are a touch too long for the owner {a female coach}. This is the best length, IMO, that the ski is built in. I have skied the 184cm, and was not impressed. This is the right size for most men. It's too much ski even for an incredibly skilled 135 lb woman skier. As a result it was skied about 15 days three seasons ago, and about five over each of the past two. We don't have anybody in the family for whom this makes sense. Too many skis.
The skis are in the Lake Tahoe area. Pickup can be arranged there, OR they can be picket up in Summit County, CO between November 10th and the 22nd. Otherwise, they can be shipped. Rather than guessing at a flat shipping cost, regardless of where you may be located, we can figure out an exact cost, and ship the right way.
$375, plus shipping if needed.
I'm listing for my son, and his GF, as they are "quite busy" at this time of year. I'll get answers to any questions.
Pictures below are not great. The skis are, though. I've sold a lot of skis here, and on Epic, and they all have arrived better than described.
Thanks!
