Single Skis/Broken skis

Hey all, I am trying to get a website going to help out mono-skiers and people who broke one ski and want to buy or sell the second ski. If you break a ski or have old skis laying around you should post them and see who might need them. you can even donate them to a program or local adaptive skier in need. Check it out. http://www.brokenskis.com

Ha, that's actually a pretty cool idea, especially to get something going on for the adaptive guys. Good luck with it man.

Thanks. To donate skis let me know where you live and I will find an adaptive program near you that would be more then happy to take them. I can set something up for you.

There's the half a pair thread on TGR which is pretty much the same idea, but good luck with your site.

i will have a lone line sfb 10/11 by the end of the season in very good condition, i have had all my core shots on the same ski and one bent edge which i've had to remove it is unlikely to last much longer

Hey guys thanks for the feedback. If you don't mind, could you go to the site and post the single skis you have in the single skis section then I will get them up into the buy and sell section for you. Thanks. Www.brokenskis.com

Hey Guys, so I have done some more work on the website and I came up with the idea to donate all proceeds from ski sales to an adaptive program or charity. I posted a good amount of skis under single skis so far and I am trying to figure out how much they are worth. I was kinda thinking between $30-$50 depending on the ski but I really do not know. Is that too much? Some are brand new skis. Check out the selection on brokenskis.com and let me know what you think. If anyone wants to donate skis, any money made will go to a ski related charity or adaptive program of your choice. Also, how much if a reasonable price to ship a ski? Thanks for the support.

Hey thanks. If you want to post them on my site I could see if there is anyone local to you that needs a single ski. Maybe they can even pick them up and throw you some cash for them too. Let me know if your interested.

Good idea, but how many skis that people are selling will match up?

I can't remember who but didn't somebody sell a "pair" of skis with 3 skis at one point?

So if you broke one you had a back up? Or did I make that up while I was concussed somewhere along the way.
