The bindings are not compatible with GripWalk ski boot soles. If your boot was made in the last couple seasons, it would be a good idea to check if it has GripWalk soles prior to ordering. The skis will show cosmetic wear throughout, but are perfectly functional and should last for many seasons to come (see "Condition" for more information). Is this the right ski for you?
If you ski on the east coast, this would be an excellent choice for an all mountain ski. If you're skiing Rockies or West Coast, this would be an excellent choice IF you ski mostly on groomed trails or on the blue/green "frontside" of the mountain. This ski caters towards intermediate users (or beginners who expect to progress to intermediate soon). It's a little stiffer and wider than your basic rental ski, which makes it a much more capable ski once you've mastered the basics. These skis are overstock from my local shop.They are intentionally priced lower than the going rate to help us clear up space. I hope all that information is helpful - let me know if you have any questions!
