i just found them on the curb and i know nothing about them.

i know they are really old but are they even remotely good?

Answer 1

My guess is late '70s/early 80's. I'm judging by the bindings. K2 used a bunch of similar graphics throughout that time period, so I'm a bit unsure of their exact age. For their age they look to be in pretty good shape. Best thing to do with them is hang 'em up on the wall.  

Answer 2

They are outdated if your thinking about skiing on them. They look similar to my Mark 4s I used to use back in the 80's.  If your thinking about selling them you can look on ebay and compare what you have to what is selling. Overall they look good for being that old

Answer 3

Hmm... they look like somewhere from around '78 to '81. This was the time where K2 used a lot of the logo in vertical repetition graphics on their products. And judging by the bindings, it looks like they were around the same time period, as the looks were standard for a few years. They also could possibly racing skis, but I cant tell because i would need to see the entire shape. Most skis from this time were very, very firm. If you have been skiing on today's technology, it will be VERY hard for you to ski on these. I personally wouldn't use them.

Hope this Helps.

Answer 4

looks like somewhere between 76-84

Answer 5

i'll buy them!

send me an email!

Answer 6

Willie D is close on the age, but I think they are early to mid 70's. The bindings still are without ski brakes.  These are great for fireplace, either decorations or fuel. Some are used for fences and chairs.  

Answer 7

i would just chuck them, they look like the old 2m skis. They will be very hard to control with the size. If you found them on a curb then they are obviously out of date. looking at the last photo they look like very old slalom racing skis.

Answer 8

I'd guess about 25 years, but it doesn't really even matter! If they work, use 'em. My mom skied on the same skis for 30 years!
