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.
