Worth bringing old skis?

[Lisa and Nigel]

I'm taking my kids to seven springs to try skiing for the first time. I'm doing packages for them so they are covered.

I'm wondering if it's worth hauling my old skis or renting. They are around 10 years old now.

One is a mid grade dynastar I used as my rock skis. The other Solomon equip10 3V with low end race bindings which honestly is probably too much ski for me at this point.

I had them both prepped for the 2005 season and haven't been skiing for 9 years...

The ski rental is expensive, and what you would get from rental shop are ... rental skis.

It sounds like your skis have not been used too much - so I would think that they are still in good shape.  Since you haven't used them for 9 years, I would recommend that you bring them to a pro shop for a check up of their bindings for safety.

For your kids, they can sign up for learn-to-ski/snowboard package mostly covering their rentals, lift  tickets, and lessons.  Or you can ask if Seven Springs has something like Kids Mountain Camp that they can sign up.
