I looked locally and I can get into a new racetiger with xcel bindings for about $1k, I'm assuming I could get into a nice used pair for less? I'm kinda antsy .
I looked and nothing I can see in their lineup that even comes close to a plated fis sl. Unless this is a joke that I'm not aware of .
Um, yes.
First, because people represent Shaggys as being ice skis. Second, because this song was all over the charts...and made it to 20 dozen commercials in the 90s and early 2000s. I mean ... fire insurancefor crying out loud.
I didn't understand a word that guy saidI've seen used Racetigers go $250-400 depending on 'niceness' with some very much dreaming $700 pairs on offer.
Pursuing the notion that one fights fire with fire, I'll start a back burn for that antsiness
IMHO Rossi's SLs have always been top notch.You can buy Rossignol’s at Corbetts for around $700 including bindings.

Rossi's GS skis.Which ones do you count as second notch?![]()
Rossi's GS skis.
Yeah I've been looking. Thanks for that one. Asogear also is corbetts.You don't like ebay?
2024 Atomic Redster S9 SL 165cm Skis w/ Icon 24 Bindings BIN ( buy it now ) $979. SkiYard is a legit outfit, they also have 157s ( used for summer training Mt. Hood )
Another Atomic Redster S9 FIS SL Skis 165, New without bindings for $670
The labeling of these skis makes my head spin haha. RD, factory, pro, RP, FIS, WC, Masters. I have a pair of Blizzard GS FIS RD which I love. It'd be nice to stay on the Marker plate for the SL but I'm not sure that's necessary.

GF is very firm on 155 beeing better than 157 or 165, so I trust her on this!157 or 155 and 12 m will be the best choice if and only if you home hill is less than 250 ft vertical. 13-m radius and ~165 if your home hill is more than 250 ft vertical. 12 m will be too limiting on larger hills IMHO. The shorter ski will be more fun on the smaller hill, kind of like a shorter wheel base on a car, but if you can manage higher speeds and/or more force in the turns you will wish you had the longer one; that shorter wheelbase car also has less grippy tires.
@KingGrump most high level athletes here are on the icon now, honestly I cant tell any diff, but.. Im a solid 2/10 when they are 10/10.. soo

ETA: If a skier needed to set their DIN at 14 or above, shouldn't be asking for equipment info on the forum. Falls under the umbrella of "If you have to ask...".
To quote something @BLiP said: If I am gonna have Icons, I’d better just screw the boots directly to the plate.![]()
