Hi,
I think this is an awesome deal for someone who is only starting out with telemark/backcountry skiing. I mean for 30$ + plus shipping you get IMO nice pair of starter skis….

I have no relation with the sale…alas I am from EU and shipping a pair wouldn't make such a deal anyway..

Cheers

Save the shipping cost and go down to your local thrift shop and you can buy a used pair of "Old Style" skis with bindings for $15.
With that cut I would need a lot longer ski than 190 cm from backcountry skiing (more like 205 to 210 like I use to ski on).
These appear to be a manufacturing mistake; someone got the wrong spec's and made a bunch of unsellable skis. The cut on these is for a ski from the early 80's. Technology has long since made these obsolete.
