looking for an old ski...

[jay11]

Hello! My mom used to ski on an older ski, nearly vintage haha. Made of wood, believe it was a slalom vs. part of a set. all i remember is it was a flat sky blue color and we called it "the pro" cause it had PRO written across the toe. Not even sure if it had a brand... bottom had some ridges but mostly flat. Anyone know anything about this ski?? Shot in the dark but figured i'd try.... it's been misplaced and she can't get up on any ski but it (or at least doesn't want to!) thanks!

@Jay11 Does it look like this? This is 1/2 a combo pair with no rear binding. Cut ‘n Jump

@skibrain that's about how old the boot is but i think the bottom was a little different... and the entire face of the ski was blue. it did have a fin too. i wonder though, pro am... is that an older brand?

@jay11 You might root around in this old thread about defunct ski companies - maybe a clue or two in there for ya?

@jay11 Cut ‘N Jump is the brand on that ski. Without a photo, your memory details are way too vague. Good luck.

could it have said elite on it, not pro?

 

Connelly elite comes to mind for me.

Uhhhh, I believe he said wood.

I read right over the word wood since he said it was blue. My bad. Only painted solid blue ones I can remember were little kid skis. Hope you find em.
