Hi there. Found someone who’s selling rossi soul 7 for 100. I want to get these for my son but not sure if there’s too much damage on the edges. Is this something that is going to need a little or a lot of grinding? Or is it not even worth repairing? Thanks.

It is an 8 yr old powder ski. Do you need edges? :)

It really looks ok to me. A good shop tune and you will be all set. Edges and bases.

That looks like normal usage to me. Edge tuning would be good. A grind wouldn't hurt but am not sure it's necessary unless the ski has trouble retaining wax.

Yeah, skis look age and use appropriate. Biggest challenge will be working around previous mount holes - looked like they haven't been filled yet? Best to fill them with something more robust than the plastic quickies.
