Too many skis with too much overlap so it's time to clean up the gear closet.
trades (full or partial, I can also add cash if needed): CFR or similar snowmobile ski racks and dynalook plates

190 Praxis BC
New in plastic. Look/flex awesome but I found a pair of Vicik Tours mounted to my bsl so I'm going to give those a try this year instead.
$450 shipped


185 Armada ARG
Topsheets are MINT and the bases are in excellent shape, only a couple very shallow scrapes. Picked up as a backup to my ARG's but I only get out on mine a handful of days a year anyways so no point in keeping these around. One mount for Dukes.
sold


FKS 140's
A few cosmetic scratches but still a bombproof pair of binders. Brakes bent for appx 130mm
sold

FKS are GONE! Saving the best for last, there's gotta be a person or two here who wants to get out in the BC with a sick, light carbon ski. Either way, this will be my last bump of this thread. happy shredding!

What is the praxis BC? Is it a custom ski?

No, it is the Backcountry model from Praxis. Made in the US, it is their touring model measuring 131-106-121 with a 26m radius. It has a carbon fiber core to save significant weight while still maintaining a nice flex. It is one of the highest reviewed skis I've seen, search around a bit and you will find nothing but high praise for it. I was going to use it as my touring ski but like I said, I found a pair of ON3P's that were already mounted to my BSL so I'm going to give those a try. Here is a link to the Praxis site, let me know if you have any more questions!

ok, interesting. I just discovered the dps lotus 138 and now I'm pretty curious about carbon cores, but I'm looking for something wider. Great looking ski though, I'd love to try them out.
