FS... Back country skis?

[Dane]

 

Nothing on this list I don't like for their intended purpose.  Some I really like!   All are lightly used.  All have clean bases and generally clean top sheets.  Please ask about the condition of the ski if you are interested and I'll be sure to take a closer look.    Any ski that was mounted had a version of the Dynafit toe and either Dynafit or Plum LWT heel.   All but the smaller pair of Cho's were mounted for a 317bsl.   Almost all of them have been mounted only once.  

Pick them up in the Boise area for free (by appointment) or I can ship on your dime for actual USPS costs.

Dynafit Cho Oyu for sale? I have two pair, a 166x87 and a 174x88. Both drilled once for Dynafit bindings, 166 pair were skied on for only 2 days. The 177s, I have skied on 3 times (I wore my first pair out skiing and touring on in the Alps a few years back). Good enough ski I wanted another pair. They are an excellent all around, very LWT, touring ski. $250 a pair

Not this pair!  They were destroyed

 

 

Men's skimo race skis? Just what you need to really hammer the local Bogus skimo race series. Dynafit PDG, 161x 65 race skis. One mount # 317mm bsl. Little use. No dings top or bottom. Super light skis. "Each ski weighs just 1 pound 9 ounces. "Testers praised them in a variety of conditions. “On morning hardpack you can rail it like a slalom ski,” says one tester. The lwt weight, makes them ideal for long mountaineering approaches.” It’s made with carbon and wood in the core for supreme quickness and maneuverability. Neat ski if you want to drop some weight going uphill and still be able to ski down.

$200

 

 

Dynafit Huasacaran

https://www.backcountryskiingcanada.com/Dynafit-Huascaran... I have two pair for sale. They are fun "fat" skis and light enough to actually tour on. 196 x116 (drilled twice) and a pair of 176x112 (drilled once). 317mm bsl using Dynafit bindings. $200 for either pair. Top skin and bases are clean and no repairs. Pick up in Meridian or Boise area. Or pay actual USPS shipping to you location in addition to the $200.

Dynafit "Speed Tour Series" skis. Equally good on the groomed slopes or in the back country. But the priority on these is how well they ski inbounds not how light they are. 2 pair. 96x176 (never mounted), 96x168 (mounted once @317mm bsl) 

 

 

"Dynafit Tour 96 126-96-110, 3kg/pair 176cm
The Tour 96 picks up where the Manaslu left off. Like the Speed line, rocker is modest and a single turn radius design keeps the ski personality predictable. It favors a modest turn radius, but a light swing weight makes it quick to respond no matter what boot you use. At 96 underfoot, it has enough width to enjoy soft snow days, but its forte is its ability to handle all-conditions from and carving corn to wind buff to powder. The Tour 96 is a quiver-of-one for a range of conditions. In other words, its a ski for reality."

 

 

 

Three more pair of very lwt backcountry skis. 2 pair of Denali, one (176x98) that has been drilled for Dynafit and a 184x98 that are still like new. (never drilled) and a pair of Blacklight 95s (172x95).

 

95/98 has been a sweet spot for me on Dynafit touring gear. I have yet to ski any ski more versatile than the Denali or as light for the width. The newer Black light is close. The 176cm Denali is 1247g per ski @ 98mm under foot. That is light! And these things ski exceptional well. My go to b/c ski since they were first available in 2015. And @ 200# I have never broken a pair even skiing them short.

The Black Light 178 weights in at the same old 2#12oz for one ski or 1247gr. in my 178cm length. Another go to ski for me recently.

"Enter the new Black Light 95.

The Black Light 178 weights in at the same old 2#12oz for one ski or 1247gr. in my 178cm length.

All these skis are/were '95 plus under foot I found the Denali and amazing all mountain ski, back country, touring, even lift skiing. Amazing on ice and hard snow. Good for the width in soft. "

still some great skis to be hand.  Typical postage is $30.

I saw these on your blog. Prices are low enough I kept the tab open for a while. Last time I bought skis they were $40... Can't adjust to current prices. :😫 

I'm really not familiar with the new stuff at all, but my friend lent me a pair that are tanks and I wouldn't even want to hang them off a chair lift seat. I need something lighter.

Last year for a couple of days I rode 130's with my acrux boots. I think 180 military ramers were my last pair of skis 20 years ago. I'm mentioning this because I hope you might recommend one from your quiver. I'd need them shipped to Sandpoint.

 

Just read reviews on a couple and the Cho Oyu and PDG might be good. I prefer corn and steep, and like I said, lightweight.

I have one season on the Dynafit Blacklight 95 skis and they're a great all around ski for PNW touring.  I think the PDG might be a race ski and not real fun (terrible)  to ski on anything firm.
