They seem pretty scratched up but I think they will work?

Those are ancient skinny skis. Drop them off at goodwill.
Even last year's models with 15 days of skiing on them will go for half price.

Sure they'll work assuming there's nothing wrong with the bindings, but they're ancient and worthless.

These are from the 90's or earlier. Don't try to use them, and no one will buy them to use to ski

Give it back Tyrone

Those kind of skis last for ever and they will work just fine

Skifag reporting. They'll work for an experienced skier, with a million turns under his/her belt ("work" being the operative word), but those old skis will present a very steep learning curve for the beginner. That person would need professional lessons. Once you try modern skis you'll want to throw OP's into the dumpster.

Actually I watched my brother-in-law come off a jump on Telemark skis of old (leather boots and skinny XC skis with edges) execute A 360, and stick the landing perfectly. This was about 30 years ago at Alta in Utah. Now he's a Tele ski instructor at A-Basin, Colorado. I watched a guy cruise down Scorpion in Sun Valley, Idaho on 2x4s with bindings a few years ago. On the last days of the season, people do goofy stuff, like two people on one set of skis, two bindings on each one. Both have to work together or end up in a heap. Sun Valley is 3363' vertical, relentless and steep. It has turned out a few Olympians.

I'm not that good, learned to ski late in life, but now I only ski ungroomed runs. I never bother sharpening my skis, soft, wide, and short for cruising around in powder and crud. My skis don't even work very well on the groomers, even if they're sharp.

I ain't a grandpa yet, unless the kids aren't telling me something.

And of course Shane McConkey couldn't ski on skinny boards, seeing as how he died in 2009. He was born in 1969, though (I was 12), so he learned on skinny skis, for sure. We all learned on skinny skis, kiddo. You young'uns are spoiled with the gear they sell now.
