WANTED: 177 VOLKL AURA

[vanhoskier]

I just learned that the Auras will not be available in a 177 next year. So I thought I may look around and see what price I can get on a 177 this year. The 07's are way prettier than the '08's but probably impossible to find. I know the '08's are around....

Has anyone seen them for sale? Location/website? Price?

Thanks.

If I were you, I'd look at this thread and see if Mike(whiteroom from epic) has the ski you are looking for.
I know he has the 170 listed but he may have a 177 to dust off.

Also periodically check craigslist in CO and UT.

Do you care if they are used? (And no, I'm not offering up mine. :P)

Nope, me neither . Sorry :p

 

[vanhoskier]

I'd get a pair of '07's used.

I KNOW you ladies aren't giving up yours!

Really not in 177? Where did you hear that?

Thanks NVG -- I think VanH wants the '07 model 'cause she prefers the graphics. I have the '08s pictured on EBay and love the graphics, but then again, I am "miss neutral" with my clothes on and off the slope, so the '08s work great for me. I do worry that they are white though 'cause it'll be almost impossible to find in powder, but since I live on the East Coast and mostly ski here, I should be ok....

 

[Native Vail Gal]

Oops....sorry!

Directly from the Volkl rep. They are making a new, wider (111mm) ski for women next year, and that will be available in 176cm. They said they didn't sell many 177 Auras this year, so are not making them next year.

Yeah, I saw them. Just not sure what to do. Guess I'd better make up my mind. I'm not gonna find any 2007's.

Found a pair of new, never drilled 2007's but in a 156. Damn!

WHERE?!?!?!!

Wyoming Craigslist. https://wyoming.craigslist.org/spo/611582627.html

Here.

Daaang. I was hoping they would be closer and cheaper. Darn. Oh well. Save them for someone else, I guess.

What is the fatter women's Volkl you were talking about?

 

[vanhoskier]

Oh, dang, I forget the name of it. The female equivalent of the Gotama, I think. I have the pdf on my other computer but it's at school. Hold on, I can find it and post it...

 

[vanhoskier]

It's the Kiku. Will come up to 176 length. Looks kind of cool from the pics.

 

[oragejuice]

Sumo maybe? The Goats are similar in waist to the Mantra, I thought...

I'm starting to see a Volkl quiver in my future....

Edit- Niiiiice. I like.

The Kiku...

Orangejuice, remember that link you posted for all of the 09 Volkls
