Metron B:5 - 172 cm - 2006 Model - $395

[Captain_Strato]

These Metron B:5's are last year's version, and have been skied on 12 times. They include the lighter 2006 aluminum Neox 412 bindings.

The 2006 Metron B:5's were awarded "Ski of the Year" by Peter Keelty's highly regarded "Realskiers.com" site, and repeat this year as "Best All Mountain Carver". Conclusion:
"The B5 remains king of the all mountain versatile carvers"- Peter Keelty. (continued below)


Bases and edges are clean - used once since tuned and waxed by certified Atomic technician, with proper side and base bevel.

Tops are in good condition, with minor scuffing (no dents or gouges). Close-up photos of tops and bottoms will be provided upon request.

Metron B:5's are the most exciting skis I've owned (see my many comments elsewhere on the forum). I'll always own Metrons.

However, time marches on. I'm now 53 years, and find I don't have the muscle mass to power these skis day-long. I'm downgrading to either the Metron 9's or 10's.

The B:5's are the ultimate performance Metron. Edge-hold and power are unmatched. The B:5's slingshot you out of a turn like no other ski. They're a thrill-ride, but you've gotta bring the gas.

Current retail on the Metron B:5's is $1450, with bindings (skis and bindings unchanged this year). Price: $395.

In reponse to many PM's, the price remains $395.

Skiing Magazine lists the retail price of Metron B:5's in their "Gear Guide 2007" issue at: $1,610, with bindings.

I'm willing to cover the shipping price, (via UPS ground).

Someone is going to get a great deal on a schweet ski.

It looks like the real (street) price for the current model is quite a bit less than $1610 (that is, $1610 isn't a useful number).

The $395 is a good deal and the skis are great.
