es2058I haven't been on skis for over 20 years (snowboarding instead), but I like to get back into skiing. I've been offered a pair of Rossignol Bandit B2 which are advanced/expert skis looks like from 2005. I know the technology and shape have dramatically changed over the last 20 years and I'm basically learning to ski all over again. So can I actually easily learn on these skis or should I just get skip these get a beginner/intermediate skis instead?
mystery3What kind of skier were you before?
I was an intermediate skier but that was in my late teens.
Also whatever binding are on those skis are probably trash and no shop will work on them at all due to their age and liability reasons.
Where are you located?
SofaKingSickthose are old...but good...but not particularly forgiving skis. what skill level in skiing do you think you're going to be (re-) starting with here?
i mean, theyll work fine. but if you can afford a different pair then you'll have an easier time getting back into things for sure
es2058I'm hoping to be back in to intermediate after a couple of times, I still remember how to ski just need to work on the muscles to react to what my brains wants to do. My ultimate goal is to be able to go to blacks and double blacks with my son since that's all he wants to do these days.

mystery3How big are you?
I just looked through you Craigslist and it sucks, mostly people trying to sell ancient obsolete skis. Good selection of kid's skis though.
OregonDeadFree skis? Go for it. Take a good look at the bindings tho. They might be fine but plastic fatigue is for real. Maybe they are bandits with FKS 155s and then you have yourself a bomber set up.
