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?
Demo Skis
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.

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,
Miie

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 reaching out, Dale. The existing holes wouldn't interfere with mounting the Marker Alpinist on factory recommend for a 297bsl.

Re: The Ski Trab Gara Powercup, could it fit a PDG 2, size 26 shell?
10/14/2021
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 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.
3/6/2021
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.

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!

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.

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.
Thanks of your help.

Hey there. I am interested in the Salomon minim's- in the description you say they were already mounted with some bindings and boots that are all on my short list to buy. Was wondering if you had the matching bindings still on the skis, also on some kind of demo deal? And the boots?

Hey Doug! We don't have the boots, just skis and bindings, but rather than discuss it publicly, send me an email at help@skimo.co and we can probably work something out for you.

Are the plum 150s on the Backland 95s adjustable to fit a 28.5 Atomic Backland boot? Also, how did you like that ski?
12/12/2018
Hey Nat. The bad news is that the 150 is not adjustable at all, so it won't accommodate any boots that are a different bsl than what it was mounted for. The good news is that the hole pattern is so narrow and so short that almost any binding will overshoot the existing holes by a good margin. The ski itself is really fun! We have been very pleased with it. It's pretty stinking light and has a ton of energy. It's a solid performer that won't punish you if you want to noodle along, but will definitely reward you if you want to open up the throttle and get after it in any condition.
12/12/2018
Hi Nat, just to clarify, the binding is not on the ski, so you can put another binding on it.
