Hey found a 2004/2005 real good condition salomon 1080's with Salomon S-912 TI bindings used for $250 , never tried these before and don't really know much about them. Anyone know how they are or if they're worth it please let me know.

Thanks

im not sure if people with agree with me or not but while it does seem like an ok deal i imagine you could do better with 250. like maybe a brand new pair of last years skis from evo, or something used off of here.

My friend had two pairs of 1080's that went to total shit after a month and a half of skiing. That's also quite a bit of money for that old of skis. If you're looking for a cheap ski, find some invaders.

May be foam core. So would be great for all-mtn and trees and pow for lighter riders but if u are heavy and pound your skis it may not be 4 u. So r theythe right size ?  They had some chatter on ice.....
