I was at an auction and bought a pair of Salomon snow skis for $2.50. These numbers are on the equipment, PR7 K624/0839 0n ski. Binding has 900S Pro Link Equipment. I had no idea what I was getting however I like to snow ski and have rented equipment in the past. Any info or direction to a site is appreciated, I searched these numbers on new equipment sites and no info was found. I am thinking they may have some age on them.

Hey...what do you want for $2.50???

The name is synonymous with quality, if they haven't been beat up.

Clean the bindings thoroughly...a binding that hangs up is a broken leg in your future...now do yah really want that hanging around during snowmobile season?

Trend is for shorter skis...and parabolic. If they have parabolic design, they are likely less than 12 years. Bindings have been very good for 25 or 30 years, so as long as they are clean and working properly they should serve you will. Parabolic (large ends, skinnier middles) help in turning. Longer skis can cause you to tend to put weight on the back of the skis which is a knee injury in the making. Longer skis work better for steep and deep...shorter for most groomed trails of moderately steep hills.

Down hilling is fun and a great relaxing winter time sport.

As for the number....can't help yah there!:rolleyes: Mostly all makers put a bunch of crap on there to justify the huge prices they charge for the stuff. Prolly all made in hong kong nowadays...anyways.

Thanks for the info! They are parabolic (new word for me) 120's and the bindings seem to be adult boot size. As far as the broken leg is goes, that would be a tragity of great magnatude! The bindings will be clean and set on the light side.
Thanks

My advice would be: once you get them, take them in to a ski shop and have them set you up with the correct DIN on the bindings and adjust to fit your boots (if you have them). They can also do a quick tune-up so that you are ready to roll when the snow starts flying!

They are 120 centimeters long? That's like.... a kids ski. I'm 5'10" and I use 173 freeride skis and 180cm slalom skis. Even if you're a beginner you're going to want something in the 150 range.

I think when you buy skis, they should have an engine between them and a track just back a little. Then you can use them for downhill, uphill, cross country, or maybe even on water. Very multi-purpose!
