My good buddy picked up a pair last year for like 500 and he says they were great skis, and IMO,, they look steezy too. Only problem though is that they only lasted him a year because they are more of a pipe ski and he slated them on rails. Either than that, they are sick.. Just be wary that being a jump and pipe ski, the edge on them comes off fast if you do alot of rails. I'd get them for 299 tho
