    Vintage Skis

    Doing some cleaning and came across my fathers downhill skis~'75; how would you guys get rid of these? Craigslist? Or is there large demand for used ski rack ornaments?

    Ideas?





    Thanks,
    -Andrew

    There is absolutely NO DEMAND for old-style skis. When I started snowboarding, I tried to sell my skis - GREAT Volkl racing skis...could not get $5 for them....

    Andrew - Scott Hansen is looking for some vintage skis to put on the ski rack on his 911.

    I've got a bunch of old racing skis I've collected over the years. I plan to make a set of Adirondack chairs out of them, using the skis instead of the wood planks.

    Thanks for the tip Curt! If he's nice enough to me he could have these snazzy boots too!

    Any Dynamic VR17s? Those skis live in a parallel universe with the 911s! Don't cut them up...please!

    No, I would never cut a pair of VR17s! Those and the K2 VO Slaloms (AKA: 2x4's with edges) were my favorite racing skis for sure. Well, before they invented cheater skis anyway.

    I love the photo with Billy's VR17s and Bob Beatty. Cool candid moment. They both did so much for US skiing. Great shot.
