Alright, I know you've seen this thread a thousand times, but hears i little twist on it. I'm incredibly poor, and i need to buy the cheapest and most durable skis i can find. My choices are as follows:

-'01/'02 Dynastar Candide for 230$

-'01/'02 Dynastar Concept for 175$

-'04 Line 1260 for $200

-'04 slightly used Public Enemy with bindings for 300$

If i were to consider ONLY price and durability, which skis would you guys recommend?

How cheap can u get bindings for the other skis

That PE deal is pretty good, and they should stand up to rails better than the older concepts. But how beaten up is used?

hey, the public enemies are pretty sweet. I was just talkin to a K2 rep yesterday and was thinkin of buying them. Then i saw the '04 ones...they look sick. I'd go with the public enemies because that is a steal. Personally, im lookin at getting the K2 Fujative or however they spell it (comin out for sale next year). The public enemies do seem like a pretty durable ski

I DO have other bindings ('99 salomon s900), so if i were to get the unmounted skis i would be covered. do you think the PE edges are strongers than the concepts edges? I've had my concepts edges break a lot to... but the price is so good...

I'd go with the PE because their a good ski and at 300$ with bindings you're getting a sick deal.

Yes the PE are the best deal, if you got that money go with them. look around too because you can practically get a new PE + binding for that price too. i got my brand new PE's for 294, and rossi power bindings for 150, free mounting, so new gear is out there for cheap. but the PE for 300 is a sick deal depending on how used they are. look them over first, and also take into account when the warrenty expires for them

Are those Price American?
Cause you can get 181cm Mad trix for $229.99 CDN which is $175 US too.

at http://www.corbettssports.com/php/ski.php

Which has been posted a bunch. And those are also a solid ski, if you haven't seen or considered that option yet,
