I found a deal online for some Rossignol Scratch Ghetto FS Skis with Axial2 140 Ti Pro Bindings, I wasn't originally looking at these skis. But for $470 new seems like great deal, yet I can't find much review on them or the bindings any info from you guys?

Also how do they compare to 4frnt STL's or Armada Ar6's?

i got mine for 250 on backcountry.com

that would leave u with 220 to spend on bindings and if u look hard enough u can get almost anything for that price.

never skied them but i'd say somewhere around the FSs. they're a little stiffer though than the rossis though.

You can get them on evogear right now for $200 and they still have all the sizes so I would probably do that instead of buying the set up.

Thats what I did and they kick ass, but I wiegh like 200lb's and if I didn't they might be a little bit stiff.  Topsheet is holding up really well but not incredibly well.  One of them says THC on it.  Good deal.

Yeah I was going to get those Chronics off evogear but they were sold out of 181's in last year's model.

THC is Tetrahydrocannabinol which is the active ingredient in weed but I guess its the name of the wood core the ghetto's have too.  I was stoked they actually had THC written on one of the skis but when I mounted them it got covered up lol.
