I have an extra pair of skis that I never used. Highest bid for the skis can have them. Brand new Salomon 1080's (gray/silver color). Size 171. Hell they're still in the plastic casing!
 
Your a young one, arent you? They are the old 1080's, i believe he is refering to the 04/05 model, but I could be wrong.

back then, there was no "Gun", "Foil" or "Thruster", just the ever popular 1080.
 
Haha, I was right! Those ski are really nice, and very light. They ski a bit shorter, from my experience. When I rode them, i was like 5'2 and I rode then 161, but could have easily ridden the 171. Nice skis for sure, good luck on the sale!
 
$150 would be the highest I would pay for those. These are great skis, theres nothing wrong with them just because they're 4 years old. Someone interested in starting some park skiing (like your snowboarder friend who's always been curious) should pick these up.
 
I'm pretty sure they are the exact same ski as the current thruster, minus the rivets. I bet there are several people on this site that bought thrusters for a lot more than $150.
 
I do as well, and they'd still be great skis if the cores didnt get compacted or fucknot. They only lasted me two seasons really, and then just changed into a whole different and very chattery ski.
 
It's a great ski and it's practically the foil. The reason it is "untouched" is because I bought 3 pairs of 1080s (all the same) that year and never got around to breakiing or ruining the first 2. And i ski every single day of the winter and the ski puts up - rails, pipe, jumps, every day
 
ya my friend sold me his old pair of those for 150 - his were used but had real nice bindings on them too - 150's a pretty good deal for these since skifree's selling them completely new - if your short on cash and need good skis, get em
 
Are you closed-minded or what? The "foam" that salomon uses has the same properties as wood. I bet you didnt know that wood looses its camber and pop faster than salomons isocell construction? I know its hard to have your own opinion, and not just conform to say what everyone else does, maybe something we should ALL work on, and stop being mindless lemmings regurgitating the same useless information over and over again.
 
thats sweet, i rmember thos ei still have them in a 161, pretty good ski, someone jump on them if u wanna start up some pakr skiiing. I think 150$ is a bargain for brand new skis.
 
Brand new, Salomon foam cores might have the same flex and maybe even better than wood core skis. However, I feel I need to voice my personal experience in terms of how the ski degrades as compared to a wood core. My 1080's lasted two fine and glorious seasons of reckless skiing. However, unlike other wood core skis I've used, when a foam core loses its pop, its fucking gone. My skis definitely went through a transformation, and while they were kinda chattery to start with, they are beyond control on small bumps. Chattery as shit. I feel that this is soley due to the cores being compressed, and unlike wood, which stops degrading and can at least absorb some of the energy, foam just transfers it when it collapses.

Now, I'm not a industry rep, and I have not cut apart skis and tested them endlessly like I'm sure companies do. However, as stated, in my experience, foam is far worse that wood when its compacted.
 
if you lower it to 100 bucks, im sure someone will def pick them up, and if not, just keep lowering it until you do becuase basically, those skis are sitting around doing nothing, and you could either have usless skis that do nothing all day or you can have some moneyto put into your next skis or whatnot
 
nahh I still have offers - if I don't sell them my friend is gonna hook me up with some gear for them, I can use them at water ramps or as urban skis
