Skiing Art Appraisal

Lot of Used Downhill Skis

This lot consists of multiple pairs of used downhill skis, appearing to be a collection designed for different skill levels or conditions, ranging from recreational to potentially more advanced models. There are at least five pairs of skis visible, possibly more partially obscured. Brands identifiable include 'HEAD' on several pairs, and 'MIRAGE' on another, along with other unidentifiable markings like a stylized '4' or 'Z' on one ski. The skis exhibit a variety of designs and colors. One pair features a vibrant multi-color graphic design, predominantly blue, green, and pink, suggesting an 80s or early 90s aesthetic. Another HEAD branded ski is largely black with red and white accents, and the 'HEAD SX' branding. One pair is a lighter yellow/cream color, quite plain, possibly an older beginner model. Another pair is primarily white with red text, possibly 'K2' or a similar brand. The bindings are mounted on all visible skis, varying in model and age. Physical characteristics include typical ski construction with composite materials, metal edges, and plastic bindings. Condition issues are evident, including surface scratches, scuffs, and discoloration on the topsheets, consistent with regular use. The bases are not visible, so their condition cannot be assessed. Bindings also show wear and dust accumulation. One blue fabric bag or boot bag is also visible, along with a maroon colored cloth or accessory tucked between skis. The overall impression is a collection of older, used skis, likely from the 1980s to early 2000s, given the stylistic designs and visible binding types, indicating significant age and use.
