I run 2005/2006 Green B3's with touring bindings and as there's been so much great snow this year I've used them pretty much exclusively and have damaged part of back of the binding (those ditches!!). So I'd like to get another pair for everyday use, which for me is mostly offpiste, trees etc. I've seen some on ebay both unisex and womens - they both look like US versions - they specifically say red version (may mean orange) for the unisex. The price for either looks very good so maybe they are too good to be true.

Anybody any ideas?

Welcome to J2ski :D Rossignol are reportedly in deep financial doodoo with unsold stock and 30% redundancies. There may have been wholesale dumping of unsold skis onto the market. Unlike Dynastar who are reported to be *destroying around 290,000 of unsold skis.

You could always enquire of the sellers if it's important for you.

Thks - I saw that on pistehors too so thought it could just work in my favour! I will talk to the sellers before buying but just wondered if anyone had experience of the US/UK thing.

Cheers

Thinking about this, didn't the B3 get superseded by the B83? If that's correct, all these skis are old stock.
