Well, it's that time of year again! The first snow has fallen in Tahoe, the areas are getting the snow guns ready to go......so it must be time for the annual ScotsSkier closet clearance sale. And the closet is overflowing even more than usual, with some top quality race gear at great prices. So here is Part 1 with skis, boots and bindings. Part 2 to follow with protective gear and clothing!
Race Skis
Blizzard WC GS FIS W 183/30. 2014. Top class GS ski, fast, good condition. Marker Comp 16s or Comp 20s (your choice) on Marker Piston plate. This ski was fast enough to get me to my first FIS Masters podium. $300
Volkl FIS W 188/30 WC GS. 2014 Beautiful condition, only 5 days on this ski. Marker Piston plate with Marker Comp 16s or Comp 20s (your choice). This is probably the best all round of all the 188/30 W GS skis. Awesome flex and progressive turn-in makes it work well on both hard and soft conditions. $325
Atomic 183/30 Redster D2 FIS W GS. 2015 . Atomic X16 bindings (or X19s available if you prefer) on the new Atomic plate. Classic Atomic grip and quick hook-up on turn initiation. Good shape, lightly used. Bindings are not the prettiest cosmetically but mechanically good. Great deal @ $250
The three above skis are all Women's FIS legal and also (perhaps more importantly given the very recent change in Regs!) USSA U19 Legal for 2016/17. Great deals on these skis. All fresh tune and wax. The flex pattern on all these FIS W skis makes them a great option for Masters Racers, don't get hung up on the radius, they are a better, and faster!, ski than the previous gen 23/25m FIS W
Nordica Doberman WC GS 184/25. 2015 Marker piston plate and Marker Comp 16s or 20s (your choice). This ski is like new and has had 4 runs only! This is the perfect ski for U16s or Masters who prefer a smaller radius ski. Superb condition as you would expect. Awesome deal for a new ski set up at $350
Blossom Overlimit Plus GS ski. 189/27m. Tyrolia race plate. A choice of bindings available, depending on what you like. Blossom builds some of the finest quality skis you will find and this is a classic example of that quality. Super ski that can be happily skied as your hard snow or everyday GS ski, more user-friendly and 1mm wider than the Blossom FIS GS ski. This ski has less than 5 days on it, not because I didn't like it but just found myself spending all my time on FIS skis last year. Far too good and too nice a ski to be sitting in my closet so super deal for someone @ $150 w/o bindings
Atomic 165 Redster FIS Slalom. This is the new 2016 sidewall construction slalom ski. Atomic race plate with Atomic X19 or X16 binding. Good shape, top sheet is less than perfect - typical of a slalom ski!- but great base condition and lots of edge left. Great opportunity for a late model 165 slalom at a bargain price. $270
Head 165 WC Rebel FIS RD Slalom. 2015 Top class slalom ski, Euro race supplied ski, selected for 150# FIS racer, not normally available except to a select few racers!. Head (Tyrolia) race plate with Head RD 16 bindings. Less than 15 days on this ski, was my race ski for a few races at the end of 2015 season. $425
Head 165 WC Rebel FIS RD Slalom. New and unused. 2015 The sister ski to the above ski, matched flex. Head RD 16 bindings available if required. $425 ski only
Volkl 157 FIS W WC Slalom. Marker Piston plate, marker Comp 16s. Good condition. One of the most user friendly FIS slalom skis. Great also for lighter/older Masters racers. $250
Fischer WC GS 183/27 Hole Ski. 2012 Fischer race plate, Head (Tyrolia) Z16 bindings. Good shape. Note, this ski has the exact same dimensions as the Fischer 183 >23m ski! Actually skis better than the similar 23m (marked) ski which is just softer. Terrific deal for a quality GS ski. $130
Fischer WC GS 183/27 Hole Ski. 2012 sister ski to above but even better condition and less use. Fischer race plate, Head (Tyrolia) Z16 bindings. Good shape,. Note, this ski has the exact same dimensions as the Fischer 183 >23m ski! Actually skis better than the similar 23m (marked) ski which is just softer. Terrific deal for a quality GS ski. $150
Non-race Skis
Blizzard Viva Magnum 8.1 women's skis.165 Fitted with new Fischer (Tyrolia) X13 bindings mounted on Blizzard IQ plate which allows you to move the mount position around on the ski. This is a top-of-the-line womens all-mountain ski with dimensions of 165 length, 121-81-106, 16m radius. These have been used for 3 runs only (!) and have a full tune and wax. Bought these for my wife a couple of years ago but due to her travel schedule she has limited ski time. So, a tremendous deal for someone on a top class ski! $320

Boots
Atomic Redster WC 150, 24.0, new in box. A top class race boot at a rock bottom price. 95mm last, lace-up liner, 284 BSL. And unlike so many plug boots this does not require sole planing before use. $150
