i want to give/sell my friend my edollo/pivot 14 setup if the bindings will fit with his boots and just get new pivots for my next setup and i'm wondering if the ski is in good enough condition that you guys think he won't have too much of an issue. i'd rather give him my setup so he can buy a killi pass instead of spending all his money on a new setup.

i'm pretty sure they just have the issue shown in the first picture which looks bad, 1 edge crack, and severe top sheet damage. bases are fine tho

if his boots don't fit then i'll sell them to one of you guys for really cheap but you gotta cover shipping. 75-100$ shipped maybe

(no bindings obviously)
 
Keep the skis in a dry area for a few days with low humidity then slap some epoxy over those topsheet chips. Should be fine as long as the core isn’t rotting or damaged

the top sheet chips aren't a big deal i'm pretty sure.

That one looks like it goes pretty deep and could leak water into the core, I would epoxy them to be safe.

oh yeah that one isn't really top sheet. i thought he meant the countless prices of top sheet that are gone making it white

yeah but that was in april or earlier and i skied quite a bit after that and it must have gotten a lot of water in it in May but there hasn't been an issue. i think if that's an issue it's gonna end up breaking on the summer setup before i ever think about this idea

Well if they make it through the summer try epoxying it. Don’t want your homies skis to break right after he dropped all his cash on a pass
 
That’s not reassuring lol dry them out ASAP and seal it

nah man go the hardware store, get some epoxy and do it yourself. I bet if you ask the shop to do that they will try to convince you to buy new skis. People who work at ski shops can be very chill but it's also kind of their job to sell skis, and when get asked to fix fucked up gear they will often do that.

If you take the initiative to fix it yourself, they will say to themselves "oh, this guy is a park rat who is willing and able to fix his own gear, he def isn't going to buy new skis" whereas if you march in there and ask them to fix a topsheet chip they're gonna be like "hey you know whats easier and better than that? new skis bro!!"

nah the guy at the shop knows i already bought vishnu's and that these skis are just for summer setup and maybe eventually to my friend. he probably won't even charge me at all. he recently sold me a pair of atomic haux 120 somethings for 50$. he's a good guy
