New (blemished) Nordica Skis sale

Since I got mine, thought it would be ok to share a link to what I think is a pretty decent online deal going on right now for people who may want cheap 2013 Nordica skis: http://shop.starthaus.com/store/pc/2013-Nordica-Blemish-Ski-Sale-c311.htm

These are cosmetically blemished, but carry regular Nordica warranty and supposedly have no other quality/performance deficiencies (BUT DON'T HOLD ME TO THAT/BUYER BEWARE). Here's a link to a thread on EpicSki that explains some of the numerous models offered and what kind of skiing/skier they're good for: http://www.epicski.com/t/120945/the-nordica-blem-sale-is-live

I would have jumped on the sale but I just bought a pair of Atomic Theories from REI for $250. I demoed these skis as my son bought a demo pair season before last while at Stowe. I like this ski. I wish I knew more about Nordica's line. There are killer deals that include bindings too.

Vince skied a pair of Atomics a few years back and enjoyed them. I think they were the first skis he ever took down Extrovert. The Theories are 95mm underfoot I think. I'm still shy about wide skis on hardpack, but trying to move towards the 21st century in that regard and went with Nordica Burners, 84mm wide, 170cms long. They are supposed to be mostly a hardsnow ski which is what I want, but with a bit of early rise to help off piste. I got them short hoping they'll fit my somewhat turny style. Who knows, I'm doing a rookie thing and buying untested skis They were $299 with bindings.

The Theories work surprisingly well on hard pack but I do need a narrower carver as my Recons (78MM) are getting pretty dead. I was looking at the FireArrow 80 Pro for $399. Unfortunately I've already reached my ski budget limit.

Totally worth it at that price.

My kilowatts are 95 and they are fine for me on hardpack or even sheer ice. I would have no qualms about 95 for the ice coast. really.

Heck, my old Sugar Daddies were nice on ice.

With all them rockers out there all an old fart needs to do is smear one off.

I think I need TP and a shower just from reading that.
