Bought these last year as a fun ski for mucking around on, but found them a little too short, so these are for sale.

They were ex-demo stock that sat in Val Thorens for part of a season as far as I can work out, bases look great to me (have a layer of summer wax on them in the pics)

A few scuffs and scrapes on the top but has Vist demo bindings so adjustable for boot length from 260 to 360 using the 'Fast Adjustment Demo System"

Looking for £175

Driving down to Reading from Leeds next Wednesday evening and back Thursday evening so can drop off on the way

Described on epicski as "The Pilgrim is Icelantic s go-anywhere all-mountain ski, with a very short but surprisingly stable shape that keeps things light for touring. They float admirably in soft snow thanks to a generous shovel, and even with 90mm underfoot, the Pilgrim s 17-meter turning radius and stiff poplar core let you rip up the groomers when the snow is hard as a rock."

cheers all,

To answer the questions, half the video was taken by me using a Sony HDR-TG3E, the other half was recorded on a Panasonic HDC SD9, both mini HD cameras with cards! Handheld hence the wobble, I suspect resting on a planted pole in future maybe a good idea.

We were on a mix of skis, thinnest were Scott Missons, 89mm underfoot, fattest were Icelantic Nomads 110mm underfoot (as featured on video)

Hopefully the link takes you to the HD version, if not click the HD button from youtube!

Apologies for cheesy music, using royalty free music!! The last vid I did off courchevel with ‘real’ music got pulled by youtube for copyright infringement!!!!

Thanks very much, that's a most impressive list - I don't think I've got much hope of being able to ski like you, I've only done 7 weeks of ski-ing in my whole life, although I started when I was 8 years old (nearly 40 years ago).

It's simple you just need to do one season of 60-90 days and you'll ski most folk off the mountain

Lovely photos, thank you very much. I would like to be able to ski like that. How long have you all been ski-ing for?

Ally

Hi Ally, 30 odd years I reckon! I have diary here (click the Greg tab at the bottom)

A few pics from Annivers over the weekend. No snow for a number of days, warm temps most places, but still pow to be had with minimal effort:
