Women's XC skis & boots, SNS (Magnuson)

Note: I only respond to messages with a clear intention to pick up, a date, and a proposed 2-4 hour window of time. More details at the end below.

IMPORTANT: These skis and boots use the proprietary Salomon SNS binding system, therefore they are supposed to go together. They cannot be paired with an nnn binding or boot, although the bindings can certainly be replaced - the skis only ever had these bindings.

Just in time for ski season, these are well-loved Salomon XA ("X-Adventure") backcountry/climbiing/DH skis and boots, suitable for telemark turns >>with the proprietary SNS binding system<<. I haven't used them since 2012 and it's past time to find them another home.

The skis are 145cm, meant for someone who is about 5"4". The boots are men's Size 7/Euro 40, which were super-comfortable on my W's 7.5/Eu39 medium-width feet with thick trekking socks. They are intended to be pretty stiff - not nearly as stiff as Alpine boots, but definitely not as "ankle-boot" flexible as typical XC boots.

One of the bindings is missing its rubber gasket which keeps detritus out of the inner workings. I would just put a piece of blue tape over the opening, which easily lasted for a day or two. For serious backcountry and/or downhill skiing the bindings and skis should probably be tuned/sharpened, and the scaled bases could do with a cleaning and reapplication of cold wax, but they're good to go as is for an easy X-C trek on flat terrain. The width and the short length really are designed for fun downhill turns in backcountry conditions. We used to go lift skiing in our BC gear, and although I never mastered a proper telemark turn on a groomed slope, I could do stem turns on these.

Easy front-door pickup inside my condo complex. Fair Offer applies, and I am posting this on Sunday night, so pickup might end up being after Thanksgiving (none on T-Day). I only respond to messages that have a clear intention to pick up, a date or range of dates, and a 2-4 hour window of time. I won't leave these outside overnight, so no pickups before 10am!
