I paid for my scratch bcs. I could have gotten any ski on the market, but I bought the BC because it's damn nice. Wide, stable, not too soft or stiff, good tail, nice pop, and good on rails, even though I'm not.
The point? If they're worth paying for, they're good enough to get for free. I hear the bindings are nice too. Don't know how they treat their athletes, but you're getting free gear, and that doesn't suck.
