is somehow impossible. i would think they would be out there somewhere, but apparently not. asked at shops and they said they go as soon as they come in. e-bay and the general internet seem to be a failure too. any ideas?
Try your local mountains ski school. I know my ski school used to have some old children skis they would pretty much give away. You might get lucky and they have a pair they would be willing to sell.
Maybe look for a local ski lease program? That's what we did when my brother and I were kids. As soon as you grow out of your current skis/boots you just go in and trade for a new pair free of charge.
