Oh well, broke with a nice quiver is better than rich with old skis. :biggrin:
Sooooo, are we about due to start the 05/06 quiver thread?
After you...Quote:

The K2 topsheet hold the ink very well for some reason.
Sharpies, huh? I like the look of it! It's actually really cool.

I agree! I've always thought the Pistols were fugly beyond all repair. Thanks for proving me wrong :)Quote:

That's just redonkulous... The Spat's and FFF's ski completely differently... I'd say it depends on mood, snow depth, day of the week (at an area), and which area, of course.Quote:

I just told you -- Some days you feel like a C-15, and some days you feel like... something else.... hahaha.Quote:

I believe they are gonna ski extremely different.
Spats are fun for short lines, trees, just kind of messing around in pow, crud, or corn. they are ok for going really fast, but I feel like I would have more fun skiing a ski like the FFF when trying bigger lines, etc. I think if I was back in CO or maybe skiing Alpental I would rather be on the spats as they do great in tigher spots. At crystal, though, I think I will enjoy the FFF a lot.
So, It will also be dependent on the snowfall, my mood, etc.
I guess I really don't know yet, though, having yet to ski the FFF, so when I finally do you can ask
All I do know is that they are both fucking sick.
That'd be rad, until you had to traverse 5 miles back into the area at Alpy... ;)Quote:
