Sounds good to me PP. Hope you enjoy then. I've just ordered new ones from Orion (in fact I think they are ready now) So now I have 2 pairs of Orion and one pair of now a bit old Rossignol's
My personal opinion is not to buy your own ski's
skis get battered two seasons and its time throw them away or try sell them on ebay.
with extra baggage charges £15
maintenance : repair and wax £25-£50
all the lugging around to and from airports. each ski holiday you go on.
hired :
get £570 top branded down hill ones. atomic/K2/elan/rossignol/salomans
no maintenance, no wax, no repair, no worries
