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.



Fair and accurate grading is ensured by the very thorough system we invented. Each step in the 3 point grading process adds up to a final grade (there's no room for opinion). The result is, you know exactly what you're getting and your expectations are always met, (most times they're exceeded) because we are tougher than most when it comes to grading! We cut no slack because we wants to make 100% sure that you are happy with your equipment. We stick to these ratings as a team and there is NO room for negotiation ever. Shop Carefully Please.
