Answer 4

It must be an older model, because I can't find it on the web. In general it's important that skis are in good condition. First of all you must inspect bottom surface - it shouldn't be too scratched. At least not with deep scratches. It's also important that rails are good. It's not necessary that rails are sharp. At least they shouldn't be round-grinded, because you can't repair such rails any more. Skis should be inspected in general to, because they can be delaminated or cracked somewhere. And after all there can be problems with already drilled holes for bindings. If you bought them with bindings, than be careful if they're more than 5 years old. Old plastic is very fragile (if long exposed to UV rays - sunlight).

Regarding your question I'd say you must be a skiing newbie. It would be wise to sign in to ski-course. You have a wide range of skis for different purposes. There are many styles of skiing too. Good old days when there were only "spear-skis" are long gone. :)
