head skis SL100 bindings

[Shadows]

so i just bought what it think is a great deal

 

2006 head M 3.70 skis with 2006 SL 100 bindings

all for 170 plus shipping

 

i know the bindings will probably be crap, but theyre not for me.

this is a christmas present for my mom, and she doesnt ski really hard. just groomers.

 

i would like to know pros/cons about the skis/bindings if anyone has anything to say.

 

thanks alot

 

oh, heres some pics

 

 

 

not sure if those are EXACTLY the same ski as advertised, but its similar

They are the Tyrolia SL100's, correct? If so, they are hugely popular and sold with tons of beginner/intermediate packages. They are extremely light and a great binding for what you were buying them for.

Great choice! Your mom seemed like she really wanted to get back into skiing, glad you took care of that for her! I hope we see her at PASR days...

oh ok thanks alot guys. ive heard the name tyrolia, just didnt realize that these were in fact tyrolia.

 

ill try to get her to come as often as possible too.

looks like a solid bet to me. i dont know much about that ski in particular, but the bindings will certainly work well for her. did you get the set with the carve plate or no? the skis look like they are in the monster line, which is designed to go anywhere and do everything on the mountain, so i think she's in good shape.

did you get the set with the carve plate or no?

 

no, but then again this is off ebay, so who knows. i would bet no, is that a bad thing? im guessing its just a riser type thing. dont really need it

[Ski]

She'll be fine flat. Once she starts ripping up blue squares and laying them over, then she can start looking for extra leverage. But she'll get on this set-up and wonder why she hasn't been doing this skiing stuff more often.

 

I'm so freaking jealous of all you people with skiing moms.

... my mom's trying to pick it back up again over christmas vacation. I hope she survives

My head skis came with the SL-100's also, I planned to change them out but they have performed and held up very well and are still on the skis - with riser plates though.

 

You can add them aftermarket when you get them mounted if you want
