If I'm not worried about the name or the flowers - because I've always chuckled at the She's Piste name - why wouldn't I buy a pair for $60???
They would be $72.64 shipped.

Recognizing that I tele'd for the first time on Sunday . . . .
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

b/c they are:
soft
skinny
and in no time at all you'll have out grown them. Might as well buy something in the 180-190 range that is 85-95 underfoot."It is not the result that counts! It is not the result but the spirit! Not what - but how. Not what has been attained - but at what price.

LB is right. When you start to tele everyone will say softer boots/skis are better to learn on and to an extent they are right. The problem is, if you have a strong alpine background, you will probably pick teleing up fast and want better gear within the this or next season and then you will have trouble selling your current gear to upgrade.

not that I know anything at all
why not just get them since theyre just 70bucks
learn on em and designate them as rock skis or give them to a significant other should they want to tele
plus if you just dont like tele, no harm in spending 70 bucks
probably could sell them for 100, I dont know
again you guys are probably most definitely right, but for 70bucks theres not a lot to loose when most of us spend that on gas in a month to go skiing...easily.

yep. in fact in my experiences teaching many alpining friends how to tele, if they are decent alpine skiers it's really best to learn tele on big stiff boots and a ski comparable to their favorite alpine boards. Originally Posted by Conundrum

, then it kinda sorta makes sense to learn tele with the crappy soft plastic boots and wimpy skis. kinda.
