Surely if you buy Lacroix skis, you're just asking for someone to ski over them?
I've had my own skis for a few years now but after going for a rental option this year, have decided to sell them. The skis I hired were fab, cost me EUR90 for a week for top end, new this season, so after paying for transport, a service and the like it doesn't work out that much more expensive to rent. Plus I won't have to lug them around any more.
Unfortunately selling my skis does not entitle me to fill the space with a new bike. Bum.
