Wear and Tear

At SkiOccas, we want to be transparent about what you're purchasing: quality used ski gear. Every pair of skis we sell has been previously used and therefore may show signs of wear, including visible scratches on the topsheet and bindings. This is a reality for any second-hand equipment.

To ensure the best experience on the slopes, we make sure that all our used ski pairs are carefully prepared before sale. This includes waxing the bases and sharpening the edges to optimize performance and safety. Although our skis have been previously used, we guarantee they arrive ready for immediate use, with a gliding quality that meets your expectations.

We encourage our customers to consider purchasing used gear as an economical and sustainable option, while maintaining realistic expectations regarding the appearance of the equipment.

Common Features Across All Conditions:

• Visual Classification Based on Top Sheet: We primarily classify our skis based on the visual condition of the topsheet. This means that evaluation focuses on visible signs of wear such as scratches and impacts on the top part of the skis, providing a clear indication of their history and aesthetics.
• Ski Preparation*: All skis, regardless of their wear classification, are sold with waxed bases and sharpened edges. This preparation ensures optimal gliding from the first day on the slopes, ensuring that functional aspects are not compromised by visual wear.
• Bindings: Each pair of skis is sold with bindings, which, although they may show scratches and signs of visual wear, are fully functional and safe. We offer free binding adjustment to perfectly match the skis to your equipment and specific needs. Please remember to provide your measurements when ordering.

Condition 1:
Moderate Wear

These skis have been used for a few seasons. They show visible scratches but are in good working condition. These signs of wear are typical and expected for skis that have already seen some runs. They represent a wise choice for those looking for used skis offering good performance with visible but contained wear.

Condition 2:
Average Wear

These skis have more seasons under their belt and show more obvious signs of wear, including scratches and light impacts. They have been used more frequently but remain in good working condition. Suitable for skiers looking for good value for money, accepting aesthetic wear for high-performing skis.

Condition 3:
Advanced Wear

These skis have been extensively used and show significant signs of wear, such as deep scratches and impacts. Despite their appearance, they have been checked to ensure they still offer a good skiing experience. Ideal for price-conscious buyers, less concerned about aesthetics.
