You got them! NICE GOING! I am excited these skis went to a good home where they are going to see some use.

While the woodies are absolutely cool, even beyond cool, I’m more envious of the snowpack that requires the use of 250 cm plus skis. Even if it’s just occasional.
I guess I’m lucky in one way. I would probably bust myself up trying to ski 250 cm skis on my local trails. I have banked turns, but no run outs. Lots of big oaks, lacking any soft moss padding!
Cool skis Johnny! They will look good with bright boots!
