vintage Pierre Cardin branded skis

[SkiOrDie]

Can't find any info about these. Are these just custom branded salomons?

175cm skis

115cm kerma poles

First, your name is great. I had "Ski Or Die" video game back in the 90's.

The 337's are early 1980's bindings and Salomon didn't start producing skis until 1990 and were cap/monocoque construction. Skis from Japan were Ogesaga (sp?), Swallow and Nishizawa and maybe some that I am not familiar with. With that said, this was probably a promotion ski for Pierre Cardin.

Oh, bonus points for putting this in the right section. Usually missed by many first time posters.

It looks like they had been drilled for an earlier, simpler toepiece prior to the Sollys ?

Thanks! I saved these because I saw they were Pierre Cardin. They're a little short for my height and I have too many vintage skis already.
Would anyone be interested in collecting these or should I just donate them to a second hand sporting store?

Too many? I don't understand?

Pics please.

I've seen that 3D cylinder/circle motif associated with Cardin's Jeunesse collection. Pretty sure it was meant to look like staring down a tube. '73-ish?
