19 years old
Skied from 3 years old to 7 years old.
Boarding for 12 years.
Want to get into skiing.

I have a buddy that wants me to buy his tecnica innotec t.i 8.1 boots for $30 bucks. Go for it?

Also throw out any skis you think would be good to get back into the game, just so I can start looking.

Thanks guys.

Do you do park, powder, all-mtn, or a mix of those?

don't get the boots. if they're 30 bucks they're probably ass. for skis get some rossi scimitar or line blend. both super versitile and aren't very still

Both winners. I know you can get last years rossi scimitar for $300 off evo.com. Dam good option.

As for boots go to a good fitter and tell them your on a tight budget. If it doesn't sound right or feel right come back for advice.

This. Don't get the boots unless they fit and aren't beat to shit, which is unlikely. Evo is a good place to find stuff for sure.
