Wanted to buy: short, metal-edge waxless XC ski

Adk Jeff
For my 11-year old. He's been using his mom's backcountry skis (E99's) for kick-and-glide, she wants hers back!
Looking for 160cm length (or shorter), waxless, full or partial metal edge.  With or without bindings.

Probably not what you want to spend:

http://gearx.com/rossignol-bc-70-positrack-ski-190-1

http://gearx.com/madshus-voss-mg-bc-ski-waxless

But either of those skis should fit the bill.

Neither are my favorite ski in this width class, but if I had to pick one, I'd probably go for the Rossi.  It's stiffer and glides nicer.  It's more like an E99.  I have a pair of Voss and I've demo'd the BC70 a couple times.

I bought my wife a NOS pair of E99s a couple years ago for $100 on eBay, so keep your eyes open.  She's graduated from them and now skis Glittertinds, Eons, or Epochs but her size isn't changing.
