Thoughts if I should get these ARV’s for 100? The edges are roughed up as you can see in the photo below would that affect skiing in them? lmk your thoughts.

yes

Those are pretty trashed. You could probably improve the condition of the caved in sidewall with much work. What bindings?

 

[ChaseingSkiing]

Besides the edge those are very good. Looks like look spx or nx bindings. You could probably pay to get the base/edge fixed. I would buy that for $100

do they come with the bindings?

Rossignol Axial 2's.

All depends if the bindings are included. Just the skis? I wouldn't.. Bindings included? I'd swoop.

Bindings are included they are Rossignol Axial 2's.

that big injury will hurt the ski's lifespan almost certainly (are the layers separating? is there a hole into the core of the ski?) but $100 for skis that will work and have bindings is a pretty decent deal depending on what you plan to do with em

I plan to ski these in park Im not sure if theres holes in the core, but the bad factor of the ski itself I think are the edges which I hope that I can get fixed.

What you guys doing talking about the ski condition.

This is the THANOS DOG (rip big G). Buy that ski, take the bindings off and put it on your wall.

I know most of you know the history but maybe not OP. We renamed that ski.

I bought a pair of these this year for 100 shipped and they were (unbeknownst to me) delamed and have like 20 edge cracks still fun beater skis though.

word well depending on how much you want to analyze this, i'd like more pics from the seller to see what the situation is on that big edge hit. if the ski is splitting in two and/or the core got too wet, that ski's days are numbered. you could show your shop the pic (hopefully more, better pics) to see how confident they are they could help it

on the other hand, $100 for a pair of skis and decent bindings is pretty good regardless. if the ski dies soon you got some use out of them and can put those (not top of the line but 100% legit) bindings on another pair of skis
