Vintage Retro Skis for Projects, Set of 4 Pairs

Description

The graphics are why these cost more than the modern stuff. Sunburst stripes, chrome lettering, unapologetic neon, and brand names that mean something to anybody who was buying gear in the seventies and eighties. Four pairs come in a set, and you choose them off photos we send you.

• Four pairs of vintage retro skis, hand picked from what is actually in the shop.
• We text you the options after you order so you get the era and the colors you are after.
• One of our Adirondack chairs takes four to five pairs, so this set is right at the low end of one chair’s worth of material.
• Older builds mean more wood and more character. Also more surprises when you start cutting.
• Priced at $499 for the set, which reflects how hard the good vintage graphics are to find now.
• Every set is different because vintage inventory is whatever walks in the door.

We do not repaint or restore these. They come to you the way they came to us, which is the point, since half the value is in the wear that somebody else put on them over a few hundred days of skiing.

Collectors, decorators and bar owners tend to grab these fastest. They also make excellent gifts for someone who learned on straight skis and still mentions it every few chairlift rides.
