[Papasteeze]

I don't know if this stuff is a good deal or not. From a NS regular who also races out of whistler. go to this link to check it out.

He wouldn't get a bite for those prices on eBay, but maybe in a shop on consignment. That gear would have to be mint race stock to get even 2/3 of his asking price. Race skis lose their value of being race skis because--after just so many runs--their pop is gone.

It's a "she" guys.. 8 knee operations before 18 years old. I would bet that all this stuff is next to mint condition.

I sure as heck wouldn't buy Sib's daughter's used skis...she tears up skis the same as the guys. Or is she saying that she kept buying skis despite being bed-ridden?

#1 shadows is an idiot, and those prices arent too out of line, considering i sold 2007 WC GS:12s with 13 days on them with 2 year old bindings for $600.

 

Nice quiver she's got there though....I like what i see

[Papasteeze]

She is posting up some more info.

 

these bindings alone retail for 350$ new, ski and binding set up new with taxes would run you like 1800$+ so this is a STEAL. Plus you can't buy team issue stock in stores for the most part, and these are waxed in and VERY fast.

[Papasteeze]

But that's Canadian right???? She might be able to sell them on Epicski if she lowers the prices..especially on the 2005 and 2006s..

 

good question, good point they are a lot less in US dollars then.

Not that much less. Exchange rates arn't what they used to be.

[Papasteeze]

1USD = 1.03808 CAD.

Wow, I never met anyone that paid $1800 for that setup. It's all great gear when it's new, but I've bought NEW Atomic 6.14 bindings three times in the last year and paid from $75 to $125...she's in a tough spot, since most people that can ski that sort of gear either have the money for new, or are savy enough to know where the bargains are.

I just noticed the 10.18's...no wonder she's had 8 knee operations.

[Papasteeze]

BTW she is/was on the Canadian Ski Team

Ha, she must know better and gave you a bogus name, 'cause there's never been a Nadia on Team Canada. Bitchin' tat, though...that's mighty brave for a chick.

I think I found her...she's a racer out of the Whistler Club. She skis FIS races (not World Cup on Team Canada). She's a solid all-around racer, with better tech points. Looks like her best FIS points are in GS, with a 104 points; slalom she's had a 110; DH 147; and SG 177. She skied in last year's Canadian Nationals and finished 36th in slalom, but blew out of the GS.

 

Is that her, Rob? Nadia S.?

I really do not know the specific details or her level in relation to the Canadian Team. Each snowflake represents a ski injury or operation.

More than likely yep..

She had a solid junior career that looks like it kept getting derailed by injury. Nadia was fully capable of scoring top 10's in FIS races---which she did---but taking that step up into Nor Am speed events didn't turn out well. I'm sort of curious what happened to her in a Nor Am SG at Panorama---if the women run the same track as the men, then it's got a monster fall away turn on a steep section. I wonder if that's where she ate it.

 

Kind of a six degrees of separation thing, the girl that won the last race Nadia ran (the Canadian Nationals at Whistler last March) was Britt Janyk, one of my favorite female racers. Janyk's best ever World Championship finish was at Are, last February. Anja Paerson won, of course, but Janyk finished tied for 4th with Ty's favorite racer, Nicole Hosp.

 

Anyway, Nadia should consider moving to A town and getting a pass at Blue and being a NASTAR pacesetter, then hang out on PASR. She'd have some awesome stories about skiing all over the Great White North.

Yeah, I wouldn't buy used TECHNICAL gear, but it's so hard to hold speed events that the speed skis might be in great shape. Siblet's first SG skis were once Libby Ludlow's. The next pair (still here) were a sponsored team mate's who only used them for one season, maybe six races? Edited July 31, 2007 by sibhusky
