my friend has them and he loves them.
but have you considered upgrading to the wall?
much more solid ski in every aspect.

i thought about it. the cheapest i found it around my house was like 800$ or something, freakin weak dollar on our end in canada. plus bindings. the ledge is like 500, so with a dece pair of bindings it would be 800. plus i dunno if i need a ski that fat. ice coast doesnt really get anything deep, plus 81 in the waist would prolly be good for me. 87 seems huge.

Ledges are complete noodles.  They are meant for super light riders.  anyone weighing over 130, i would bump up to the wall.  Just flexing them by hand i feel i could break them.

there are other skis for 500.
actually.
look up ninth ward skis on facebook and message them what you are looking for in a ski.
he will hook you right up and maybe even give you a deal
