Any chance of exchanging, new in wrapping Ultra Carv skis?

Last year I was lucky enough to win a set of Orion Ultra Carv ski's. They are 150cm long and are the red ones. As I am 5ft 8 they are a little too short for me. I bought a set of bindings but have never had them fitted.

Would it be at all possible to exchange these new skis ( still in wrapper ) for a slightly longer set of the same make and model without incurring a huge charge?

TIA.

they will be last seasons now so possibly not your best bet is putting them on ebay and seeing what you can get for them. that make though is not that well known so may struggle a little. have you seen any in thia country?

Paul,
I bought skiis and bindings last season and found they were too long.I returned them and they replaced them for shorter ones at a small fee because they were now second hand {cost me an extra 5O leva}.I reackon that if you bought the skiis back over, and knowing they are still in the original wrapper etc, I could'nt see a problem swapping them.......if you talked to the wright person....and caught them in a good mood !!!.......and maybe flicked them a couple of leva?.Anyway, if you ...

Fi,
Very true! will bring them over and see what I can do. As for them being last seasons skis....Im no expert but they look identical to the ones we have used at the ski school for the last 3 years.
Hopefully I can get the bindings fitted fairly cheaply as well!

Bring on the snow!

The Ultra's are an ongoing model. The new ones for last year were Space Carbon.
So you may be okay in trying to change them. As someone has already said you have nothing to loose.
