so basically, yea, I had thee for sale before, but I'm deciding to sell them again.

They have been skied at most one or two runs. The bases are basically perfect tune with structure, edges are 100 percent perfect, never de-tuned. The topsheets don't have a scratch.

Like i said, they could have been skied for more than a run or two.

Mounted once for a FKS binding. Not for sale.

the lighter spot on the base is just where it's a little dry, one coat of wax and it will be just the same as it was.


I want about 300 for them. PM me with offers.

Just one question. Why are you selling them if they are in such perfect condition? Not your type of ski or what?

I bought them thinking I would want them, but decided that I wouldn't need them... I don't ski park all that much and I like fatter skis.

These are the sickest skis ever. I just got some a couple weeks ago, and they are awesome. I used to ski buttery T-Halls, and damn these are a lot nicer. There is sooo much camber and th flex is soooo poppy. You are guarenteed to get 100ft high off every jump. And if anyone is afraid of the "edges," I am skiing mine full park and going to be disastering rails all season. They really aren't that much thinner at all.
I'm not really sure why I just gave such a sales pitch for skis that im not even selling, but they're just that awesome.

Thanks man....


everyone needs to know that

THE EDGES ARE NO THINNER AND THE BASE IS NO THINNER THAN AR6.

Ok, well I hit backspace after entering a nice answer for you, and my browser went BACK and I lost everything. So now let me do it again.......

I skied the T-Halls all last season (the Scarface ones, I think they are all differnt, so this is about the Scareface ones). I liked them while I was on them. They are nice for butters, and you really notice the butter zone. A lot of the ski stays on the snow when you butter, because on the zone. They are really forgiving due to the soft flex too.

When I got on the Pipe Cleaners, it was awesome. I can't believe I was missing out htis whole time. They had soo much more pop off jumps. Butters were still fun and easy too, just a little different. Since there is no zone, slightly less of the nose stays on the snow because it is a progressive flex. But I like them better because I think I can get more pop out of butters. The rigid tail really makes them land and jump amazingly. They have so much camber and the tail just wants to pop all the time.

If you were going to chose between the two I'd say:
T-Halls is you don't like to do jumps, just rails and crap.
Cleaners is you do (and still want to do everything else just as good).

it's not thinner, but a faster base is a softer ptex


meaninggggg that it's more likely to gouge up


sick deal though, someone should buy these up

I just mounted my 176 AR6 at true center. Now I wish I had the 181. It's considerably different. So don't stray away if you normally ride something smaller and want to mount these true center. I'm on my third pair of PCs and they're the funnest park skis ever. If you like fast you'll really notice the race base.
Also, I can see a nice pattern in those bases. That's worth something as well.

they were mounted center for something around 27.5, so a bot size that is somewhere around there will work if you decide to mount FKS back in the same holes, as they are semi-adjustable.

and yes, the tune on them would be worth at least 30 bucks to get that grind in a shop.

Somebody stole my big troubles, and I managed to rip out the heelpiece out of my other skis yesterday (shitty bindings).
Wanna cut me a deal?
