Anyone have any beginner skis they want to sell?

[Robyn]

Hi Divas,

I have a co-worker who has just moved to Colorado this summer and wants to learn to ski. She is getting a Colorado Pass and is slowly but surely gathering gear. She's fairly athletic as well. We're trying to get her into something used to save some money here to get her through her first season or 2. Does anyone have something up for sale that would work? Or see any good deals around?

Stats:
5'6"
173lbs


Thanks, Robyn (and Sarah!)

Will pm you.

Dang! Too slow! I have a pair I was bringing to the ski swap...

 

[Robyn]

Carrie, send me a pm as well.

Num, I'll get a reply to you in a bit. When is your ski swap?

FYI, my aunt may have a pair locally but I won't know until this weekend

Hey Robyn-
When you are up in Summit County pop into Recycle Ski and Sport in Frisco. They are in between WalMart and Safeway. It's a used ski/sport shop. Great deals on used skis of all makes and models. They also have a bit of new in the lower end models.

 

[Robyn]

Excellent, thanks for the tip Katy. Are you back in Colorado yet?

It was pretty nice up until you got here!
It has rained and been miserable for about a week and half.
Still, I do love my cozy home in the country. I can see the windmills from my kitchen window.

Hey, maybe Katy will bring the precipitation back here when she comes. Preferrably in the form of snow. :D

I got beginner boots I work like 4 times...

They are Tecnica Boot Attiva M6 6.5

 

[Robyn]

She's a size 10 foot so I don't think those boots will work. I know we all advocate tight but that's probably a bit much.

 

[toughgirl]

LOL.. yeh I guess there is a difference between 5'6 and 5'1 :P

I actually have my beginner boots that I was going to bring to the swap this year, too. And I"m a size 10/10.5 foot. BUT these were technically sized too big for me, so likely wouldn't work for her. They're 26.0 Salomon Performa 4.0 and I was recently put into a 25.0 Nordica Olympia Beast 10.

 

[Robyn]

I think I've got some boots for her that 25.5 that I used to ski in. I'm around a 9 street shoe (10 running shoe) but recently got put in a 24.5 boot so I think these may work for her. I'll let you know if they don't work though!

 

[Robyn]

I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who has contacted me with options both for skis and other items! I knew I could count on Divas to get us moving and create a new Ski Diva. We have some decisions to make and I'll get back to each of you by early next week. Thanks again!

I have a pair of women's salmon X-Screams that are a great ski. I used them when I got back into skiing, but they are collecting dust thanks to Big Mountain taking over. They have bindings and the ski's are great, located in Boulder, but could be transported to Denver.
