From time to time we sell used demo skis, previously mounted new skis (from canceled orders, e.g.), and new sample skis that we obtained as part of our worldwide search for quality lightweight ski gear. We offer great deals, typically selling at or below our cost. We got to see them, you get to ski them. Win, win!
All demo skis come with a limited 90-day warranty covering manufacturer defects, but not rock damage or other abuse. If you find the bindings won't adjust to your boots and/or you can't work around existing drill holes, the skis can be returned unused within 10 days.

Dear Skimo
I noticed you have a used DPS Pagoda Tour 112 on sale for $799 under your used skis.
I currently have the DPS Wailer 112 RP from 2011. Would the DPS Pagoda Tour 112 be an upgrade from what I currently have, that is, does it ski better and climb better?
Would this skis' pre-drilled holes for G3 Ion bindings hinder putting on Dynafit Speed Radical bindings on the ski?
Mark, A Classic pair of Wailers. I would assume the one you have were the Carbon construction, whatever they were calling it then. The Pagoda design is a ski that skis as well as the Carbon series, with the weight of the Tour 1 series (well after 2011). So they will be a good bit lighter, and ski comparably. Overall sidecut is very similar, but DPS of that Vintage, had a lot more upturned tip and tail. Rocker is similar now, but with much less rise. Bindings, you will have to get a bit creative with placing the heel to avoid holes. But the mounting plate in he new DPS skis is Very solid, no problem drilling extra holes.

Question from
Derk Doijer
I was previously an advanced skier looking to acquire a first backcountry setup as I get back into skiing after years of snowboarding in resort and sidecountry. Would you recommend the Blizzard Zero G 85, 171cm for someone who's 5'8" @ 160-165? I ski a mondo 26.5 boot.
Would it be possible to send me some pictures of the setup and its current condition?
Hello Derk, depending on the conditions you are most likely to regularly encounter, these skis could be a great choice. They are lightweight and powerful with excellent edge hold. Please send us a note at help@skimo.co so we can continue the conversation! We would of course be glad to include some photos of the skis.
I’m 6’2” 185, aggressive skier type. Would the Blizzard Zero G 105, 180cm be a good AT set up for me? Or too short? Picked up some scarpa F1 size 30’s last week. Does it come with the alpinist 12 binding + skins, or just skins?
Thanks for reaching out, Mike. These could work, however, they would be on the short side. If you're an aggressive skier, you'd be better served with the next size up (188). It does come with the Alpinist 12 and skins.
Thanks for your question, Luke. If you were to use the same binding/adjustment plate, it appears it would work with a 26.0 shell (though it would be on the very edge of the adjustment track). The ski could be fixed-mounted with the Gara Titan for the PDG 2. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Re: Atomic Backland UL 78 163cm. Do they come with the bindings and/or skins? And is it possible to re-drill for a 290mm boot sole length?
Thanks for your question, Leah. They come "as is" with no bindings or skins. It would be possible to remount for a 290 bsl. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Re the Voile Hypervector BC's pre-drilled for Plum Guide 283 BSL: is it possible to mount Quiverkillers for a Hagan Pure 8 with range to handle a Sportiva Syborg 27.0 287BSL and Scarpa F1 LT 26.5 294BSL on this ski? It's conceivable next year's Dynafit DNA 27.0 could be in the mix (yikes - men and their ski boots!) but I haven't found a BSL for that. I wonder if the Hagan toe pattern is the same and the heel pattern is long enough to be adequately spaced from the Plum heel pattern for these BSL's.
Robin, Your Pure 8 bindings have a BSL adjustment of 20mm, so all those boots can fit in there just fine. The two bindings do have the same toe mounting pattern and the current mount is close enough so you would not be too far off boot center. Voile does not recommend Quiver killers in their skis, which will void the warranty. The holes have only been drilled, not screwed in. You should be able to adjust the track, since you have only a 7mm range, to mount with sufficient distance from the existing holes.

Patrick
Am I reading correctly that the Maximos come mounted with the Vario binding? Is the binding new as well?
How does that look with either Atomic Backland Carbon 288 BSL or the la sportiva Skorpius 287 BSL? Thanks! H
Hi Patrick, I cleaned up the wording, it does not have bindings on it. You would need a binding with a different hole pattern, or adjustment plates, to use that boot.

dominic grossman
Just confirming, the Altavia's are a 178? The pic is of a 171. Are the maximo's a 6.0 or 7.0 flex?
Hey Galen, thanks for reaching out! Because the actual length that the tech fittings are positioned at can vary depending on the model, let us know the specific models and sizes. If we have them in stock, we can do a quick test to check!

Do the Blackdiamond hello 95s demos come with skins? Will that binding fit a mondo 24.5 boot?
Hello, What is wear-and-tear on demo Ski Trab 171 cm? Any rock/sand hits? I do agree that it's hard to destroy a ski, the pair I have now just does not want to die :) And what is approximate mileage on skins (vertical (ft), or miles, or hours)? Thank you!
Hey Dima, both the Maestro and Magico have seen light use, with some minor superficial blemishes but nothing requiring repair. The bases are in great shape with the original grind still intact (the famous Trab herringbone grind). Trab is known for their industry-leading durability and unbreakable ski construction, so the Maestro/Magico are more or less good as new with an extra set of mounting holes :-) As for skins, the plush has very little wear so I'd guess 10-15 days of use totalling perhaps 30hrs or less. Just enough to break them in perfectly for new user! :-)
Hello, I’m interested in the Blizzard Zero G 85 W 171 setup but I’m curious about how the bindings are drilled. I have a 301 BSL and figured with the 30 mm adjustment in the Raiders I’d be able to fit my boot, but would it be close to the recommended line?
Ben, I checked, it would be about 1cm short. Looks like a size 26 boot or smaller. They can be remounted, they have only been drilled once.

Greetings,
I have been trying to decide on a ski for ski mountaineering, corn and low snow conditions skiing. I'm pretty settled on a ski with an underfoot width of 95 - 105 and have been looking at the set of Blizzard 95 G's in your demo sale. I have a set of helio 10's as a binding and was curious on your thoughts for this set up.
Will the pre-drilled holes, if filled, be ok for a remount? Is it too much ski for the binding? I'm trying to play a little hurry up offense on this new set up with a looming yurt trip and corn season in Idaho.
