XCD Score !!!"Black Widows" with Voile 3pin Cables..5 Bux -- it was 1/2 off day at St Vinney's :lol: :lol:
Took the bindings off and will return the skis for another round..
My fave XCD binding, barely a scratch !! $85 new!Sprayed them with some WD..
Teleman, I think those skis would be perfect for the Kingdom bushwhacking , relatively light with the old 85-65-75 cut..
They are barely scratched too ..If anyone wants them, happy to send for shipping cost (30 bux USPS most probably)

They are not that bad for weight LJ, around the same class as the old 10th Mountains..
Certainly lighter than Guides.. :lol:
Bruce was saying that back in the day a bunch of the Kingdom T Boys used to ski them..Black Widows. :lol:
Last year I scored some Rivas at St Vinney's, never used!! I have not used them..
I am becoming a light-ski-binding hoarder! :shock:
I remove the bindings and donate the skis back..Ha

When there is early season conditions like that pic of me in whip world, you better pay attention and lean back so your tips skip over logs and debris. Pay attention there is going to be a quiz.
