Surface Nine Life?

I found a pair of nine lifes from this year in 172 for $160
I am 5'11", 160lbs
I ski park aggressively, and hit a lot of rails, with a few medium size jumps
I don't need them to perform all that well on groomers or powder, but it would be nice

They have been mounted once for griffon demo bindings, and are in great shape.

Good Deal?
Thanks in advance

well they aren't long enough, and nine lifes are hit or miss with their durability, either the skis are immaculate condition or they snap in half, or have 30 edge cracks, so i wouldn't take the risk

their a really fun ski so if you have 160$ i would get them, but their is a chance they won't make it all the way through the season, so you might need a backup ski.

Rode mine hard at Park City all season without a single problem... Probably the best $160 you will ever spend!

ok i think im just gonna risk it, the seller might be agreeing to lower the price a little.
Hope I don't regret this later...
