Yup! The holy grail of the big mountain free-ride scene! These are Salomon Team Issue AK Rocket Swallowtails. They are different than the AK Rocket LAB Swallowtail that came out in late Feb.2004. These skis are totally hand crafted specifically to the "Pro's" individual skiing requirements. They are in excellent shape. No base digs and a few very minor surface scratches. Only 5 days of skiing on them total. They are very nimble and just need a little coaxing to make ANY turn shape on groomers. Yes, even fairly quick short slalom turns. Obviously they flat out RIP off piste in the fluff and crud! They ski well enough that they could make an excellent all mountain ski. They have Salomon s916 race stock bindings mounted to them. The regular LAB Swallowtails retailed(if you could find a pair)for $1,195.00 with out bindings. They would be around $1,395.00 with s916 bindings. Make me a serious offer. The perfect heavy hitter for a serious skiers quiver! Maybe you could be the psycho-ranger who could simply crush it from top to bottom!
