I know that this is a way outdated ski but as a highschooler with a minimum wage paying job saving for college this is the best i can afford. What do you think of them? Were they durable, easy to ride, what are some things you liked and what did you dislike. Will they last me a couple of season of pretty hard riding? Overall what do you think of them?

i owned the same model, honestly i'd try to stay away from them. They were a blast at first. But then the bases seemed to die, but maybe that was because i didn't take care of them well enough i don't know. But if thats all you can afford i hear ya. Maybe just get those for a temporary disposable single season ski and look else where next winter.

Did they get gouged easily or did they just not hold wax good. Because i know that is a problem with a lot of older line skis.

Was the sticky bases the only real problem? Because i ended up buying them and they are in good shape but I'm worried now that they are not even going to last me one season.
