We suggest that all used skis/snowboards are edged and waxed before used as it will improve performance. Also any used ski/snowboard may have rust and/or damage from warehouse storage.
There is nothing subjective about it when we're talking about our ski/snowboard/boot/etc. condition grading.

Graphics are very scuffed and scratches, nicks and dings are everywhere. Probably has been used in rental or demo shop and has seen a couple seasons of use. Still, very usable product with plenty of life left at a great price. Our most popular sellers are “3”s for the savings. |
