I skiied most days all winter when I was in high school. I since fell away with college and life. Now (fast forward almost 30 years) and I am restarting with one of my sons. I want to get a decent set of skiis to restart but not interested in spending a lot for something really good. Basically the local ski shop has a set of 2020 Blizzard XCR skiis with bindings (don't remember binding model) from last year (new) for $300. Anyone have any experience with these or have any input on whether they are reasonable for the price and are a generally decent ski? Any concerns with them? Are there other (previous year model preferably for cost savings) ski packages that are widely available with skiis and bindings in the $250-$400 range that are known to be a good package I might look for. There are 4 ski stores within 2 hours of me so if there is a good recommended options I can check and see what they carry. I am looking to buy local for peace of mind if I need service or have issues with the skiis. Thanks for any help.
