Hi
 
I dont know the ski but in a quick research it doesnt look like a heavy/stiff ski, even saying "race" on it. It looks like a rental ski
 
Its very short radius and short width, which means that it will perform well only in very firm snow, and would get worse in soft snow or heavier snow.
 
You should be able to handle it, even if you are not so heavy, specially if you go shorter.
 
They dont look like an excellent deal for 250 EUR, even if they are new from 2008, but then it depends on where you are. I think for this price you should be able to find a better ski
 
Then it depends on what you want, if you want a super short radius carver, this might be it

Nisu loše ...ako vec imaš dobre (odgovarajuce, ne samo komotne) pancerice.    U SAD su puno niže cene skija i opreme, takoðe ima veci izbor, pa ovdašnja mišljenja o ceni nisu merodavna za tvoje uslove.

I think it would be a fun ski for  short turns.  If you ski on a small hill, it would be a top choice, imho.  I did ski the older Salomon Equipe 10 SC a few times, and I do seem to recall a demonstrator that looked just like the one in the picture.  On the older skis, performance gets scary past 45 mph, but below that, it feels like the skis are directly connected to your brain; they almost turn themselves as fast as you can think of turning.  Yet, they are still forgiving of mistakes other skis would brutally punish you for.

 

Sorry, unlike Cantunamunch, I still have to learn Serbian, but here's a translator...

I have the 06/07 Equipe GC race with Z12 bindings. They are a lot of fun frontside. Very light and snappy. You can load up the tip easily and explode edge to edge. The grip and stability are better than most skis on the hill, but there are new, high end carvers that will beat it. Still, it's a tone of fun.
