I skied on some LOOK RS for a couple hours in 2010.  They held up fine but have been officially retired.  There's been a pair of 4SKs at Goodwill for about 6 months now.  I think they are 204s with Markers.  Skiing and room for frivolous ski gear has really taken a back seat for the next year or two.  Not thrilled about that, but the geography and bandwidth only allows so much and that hasn't been nearly as much with the kids playing team sports.

Been coaching soccer the past two years.  We're going to an NASL game tomorrow night and very stoked about that.

While we are talking "retro" or even "classic", how bout some 70s NASL replica Minnesota Kicks Kits?

And the current Carolina Railhawks jersey.. who just happen to be playing Minnesota (whatever their current name is) tomorrow.  Which one should I wear?

For me a ski is for sliding on snow and then admiring in the off season thinking of all the fun that was had....

 

 

 

I really like how they put the "replica" in the box that held "kevlar" when remaking the graphic 

 

 

 

In fact, Rossi, I have been keeping an eye out lately for lightly used iconic skis for really cheap!  One sad thought is that I may not be able to ski them to their full potential anymore.  But the undrilled will remain undrilled.

well, here's the old and the new....

Pretty cool, I remember when all you saw were Rossi 4s and K2 KVCs.  Not much chance of seeing a KVC remix since they seem to have given up on go fast skis

Wow, nice collection.

I'll watch Ziggy for ya anytime.......

Evo has them now for 299.99 less 20%

Hey Rossi Smash

How do the Replicas Ski?  My wife got them for me last week as a surprise early Xmas gift based upon price at EVO.  Love the colors and memories but I do want a decent ski since this will be my primary skis.  I am an advanced skier and will be skiing groomed terrains and bumps and will probably get out 5-10 times this year.  I would ski Powder but cannot bank on it given my location and unreliability of powder existing when I show up to the resort.  Thanks.

I got no snow!

See Philpug's review above. I will get out on them in January for sure!

Boone, NC Salvation Army had 610s yesterday.  Also had those crazy Looks and a pair of sweet Yahoo IIs (terrible binding for them though).

Hey, those look like my LOOK's (except they are slightly different)

OK guys here is the contact info.  Sorry, I'm 180 miles away from there or I'd pick them up for you..

Whenever I see white Tyrolias, I instantly reach for the sheet:

http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml88/88011.html

(Yes, I'm fully aware that the /skis/ are newer than that)

This is what the first 4S looked like. Either 84 or 85, can't remember. Went through a couple pairs of 203s. The 3G looked very similar. But if you get the Teal Model you MUST also get the matching poles Rossi produced.

do you know how much the old style is worth

I grabbed my 203 4S's new in 1989 with the Tyrolia 590 RDDs.  I still take them out a couple times a year, as they were light years ahead of the pack back then in my opinion.  They ride like they're on rails to this day, even after taking a ton of punishment back in the race days.  Probably not worth much, but priceless to me.

Meh, I prefered the Dynastar Course (Comp ? memory fails me) SL with the chicken hearts for quick turns, although the 4S did last quite a few days longer when used.  For GS, imho the Fischer RC4 Vacuums were way ahead of it and the 4G in terms of stability, but I suppose the 4S was a good compromise between the quick Dynastar and the stable Fischer. 

Ah yes, the Dynastar "Chicken Hearts" from their Contact System line, and Fischer RC4s; how did I forget those?  I recall really liking the RC4s as well.
