Line Honey badgers are $350 new no bindings. Otherwise you might wanna look for used.

i would say the used market is your best bet, you can probably get some lines or volkls with bindings for 200ish

sidelineswap.com is worth checking out, sometimes pros sell stuff on there for dirt cheap.

Used market or Honey Badgers and that’s about it. Or like some 3 year old Chronics

are we talking $300-350 with or without bindings?

ive heard fine things about the armada arv84, which they market as a budget/beginner little brother to the arv86 etc. it comes in a 163 and a 170 and would definitely be fine for backyard and would be ~$300 or less

depending on your answer to my above question, people can help get you on the right track. if you're looking for $350 or less for skis and bindings you'll need to keep your eyes on used sales

It's end of season. Most shops rock 50% off skis now. Should be able to pick up pretty much any park ski well under $300 for the ski alone. id say another $150 for attack13s mounted and your all in under $500 for brand new skis and bindings.
