Cheapest Pow skis

East coast southern vermont skier here. Go out west once a year.

Currently riding on 93mm skis. Also have a crap pair for early season/heavy park as well as a pair of carving skis for those icy days.

Really want to get a pair of pow skis. Looking at something around 110mm? But honestly the only time I would ever use them is my once or twice a year trip out west (usually 4ish days skiing each) and those random EC pow days where its worth it. Not looking for anything crazy rockered but would love a little bit.

Been out of the gear loop for quite some time now so I have no idea where to start. Would be open to used gear if in good condition. But really looking to find some closeouts or older models for like ~$300.

Just rent if it's for a few days. 300 won't get you anything good so rent instead and have new skis very year, you can also swap skis while you are there, see it like a long demo and you can even take them back for wax every night.

110 isn't too thick for a good Vt snowfall.

Decide what models you like then try to find a used pair. Or find a new pair that's cheap because it's a year or two old. Lots of good deals on sites like Evo right now, summer is a great time to buy skis.

Second this. And if you happen to come across a type of ski that just makes your day write it down and buy a demo pair after the ski season.

+1 for Levelninesports. They took 3 days to ship from the US to NZ for $30 and they mounted for free. Super legit.
