An awesome update -- I just found someone on Sideline Swap selling a very lightly used pair of 2020 V8's in 163cm for $225, with bindings. AND the same person was also selling 2019 Volkl Racetiger SL's in 160cm for $200, so I had to grab those, too. I still have to buy bindings for the Racetigers, but for the cost of the iRally, it looks like I get my hardcore carving ski and a lighter weight bump ski - more toys! Now I just have to wait 8 months to try them out . . .
Turns out that the Racetigers are FIS skis, with a Marker world cup piston plate and three sheets of titanal. So . . . not quite sure what I am getting myself into, but they definitely will be an interesting ride. Look out!
