Yeah so my thread got deleted just a few seconds ago most likely for having bad spelling/grammar because I was in a rush.

ANYWAYS, so I was wondering, what are the best skis to get with 2000 dollars, because my current ones suck. Someone already mentioned S7 2010s, any others?

I know, I was just stating the max and I am well aware that the S7 2010s can be purchased on ebay for around 700 dollars.

what do you mostly ski?
Park, Big Mountain, BC, etc.
Would you consider yourself a noob, learning, average, expert, pro?
How many times a year do you ski?

good examples of things you should put in a "what ski thread"

-Height, weight, Age
-Ability/ Experience
-If you have other skis too
-If you ski mainly park, pow,all mtn ect.
-Home mtn

Since your looking at S7's im going to assume you already have a park ski or that you don't really ski park. S7's are a sick ride. Awesome if your looking for a fat, rockered, pow orientated ski.

The more info the give, the better responses you will receive

hey if  are REALLY desparate than you can connect a bunch of magic markers together to make a pair of kick-ass poles and put duct tape on the end for handels. and for skis, well you my friend, are out of luck. but if you really want to get some sticks that just go to your local dump and scrounge all around the place looking for some fiber-board. that would definatly be up to snuff in the ski industry, but ohh wait. i forgot. YOU ARE A RICH F*** AND WE AREN'T, SO SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE TO SPEND ON SKIS. you could just go and get some average skis for like 300$ like the rest of us here on ns.

buy a pair of on3p jeronimo's, a pair of on3p wrenegades or billygoats, and a pair of on3p  caylor's.  use the rest on bindings.

or you could go big money on some dps carbon skis.  mmmmm, money.

I was going to say $2000 is just right for a pair of.......skis, boots, bindings, skins, and poles.

DPS or PM Gear Lhasa Pow's will set you back $700-900.

Marker Dukes are $400, or some Griffin's or FKS and you are still down $300.

Add up the rest....

I think the osama pro's are way out of his price range. I saw those things going for $10000 on ebay a few months ago...

osama pro's are too rare, you can't just go to a dealer and say I need some osama pro's. No one can locate them like that.
