Great find, Phil!  The complete set, with 'period correct' bindings would look great.
Not too many 910's around these days, or ever, I have found.
I have only found shorter 610's, myself.  It may have been the market for them, I think.

The green triangle says reduce, reuse, then recycle. They missed a step.

The Ski
Demetre ski sweater - I wanted one back then so badly, but never got one.

And, yes Virginia, poles can improve your skiing. Especially if you don't use any (from my experience).

OK, now some to share:
Spalding Ski ad from 1984:


And, since I liked them so much, I bought 2 pair:


Limited production, hand-made race stock, and each pair flex matched.

You know, it's hard to take pictures of long, skinny things. The ones on the left are the Downhill model, 218 cm. 2nd Generation binding on these (Tyrolia 690 R). On the right we have the 205 cm GS with Tyrolia 380 (the originals). I still use the Downhills - I used to ski them a lot on Palivichini at A-Basin, but now keep them out of the bumps and just go for speed. I've never raced on them, but just got them for fun. However, I find most ski areas are just too small to really enjoy these. You get off the lift, and 90 seconds later you're back at the base again.

I'd like to use the GS boards, but have to remount them and really don't want to drill them, so I guess they stay in a corner.

While scouring Craigslist, I found the (undrilled) 910-Comps for a stupid cheap price, needless to say, the shipping cost much more than the cost of the skis. As I mentioned, they are big. For reference the 710's are 200's, the 910's are 220's. I didn't measure the waist but they are also much wider than the 710's too. I would like to mount them up, but the ONLY period binding I would put on these would be M4-15's, so if someone wants to see these hit the snow, send me bindings.

Thanks Glen for picking these up for me.
