I like this thread.
The current idea of what my ultimate quiver would be:
Alpine (by terrain type) Everything mounted with p18s, except the touring skis.
Billygoating
186 Legend Pro
183 Gotama (this years)
193 EHP
186 Comi
Lazy wide open/gunning it tight stuff
192 Elan 777
191 Armada ANT
Legend XXL
191 Kreitler Pro Model
196 Moment Comi Kazi
200 Flex 3 DP 120
Wide Open
201 Stolki DP Pro
X wing labs
194 Squad
200cm 235 RA flex Iggy FFF w/P18 with maple core and cherry top sheet “
Touring:
Powder
190 flex 2 DP 120 w/Dukes
197 Katana w/dukes
193 EHP w/dynafits
Corn etc
185 Kilowatt w/dynafits
185 DP Wailer flex 2 w/dynafits
186 EHP w/ dynafits
195 AK Rocket Swallowtail Labs w/Dukes
I'm actually a huge fan of my current quiver
In VT
195 iggy fgs w/ look ZR
190 Explosive w/ 916
186 Comi with 916
186 spatula w/ mojo 15
185 pocket rocket w/ nx01
183 AK enemys w/ 997 driver
180 V pro w/ 997 driver
Utah
195 praxis w/ 916
186 DB Tabla Rasa w/ freerides
190 explosives w/ 997 driver
190 W105s w/ 920
190 9.1ffs w/ 916s
And bouncing back and forth, seeing service on both left and right coast
190 Explosives w/ nx21s
193 DB surreal(flex 3) with dynafit TLT
(yes, I have 4 pair of 190 explosives and 2 190 w105s, yes, I have a problem. My name is soul_skier and I am a vintage ski hoarder)
Getting there slowly (in order of acquisition):
177 1080´s w/1080 bindings, for BS, rocks.
186 LP´s with ax2 140´s, for almost everything.
191 rossi gs comp´s (sandwich) w/fks 185´s, you know what these are for...
185 praxis, to be mounted w/dukes, for pow, leftovers and some touring.
There´s room for more:
189 seth´s or early maden´s for soft day laziness. Might go for one extra set of these w/tele.
DP 120 190 with touring setup, possibly dynafits, maybe dukes.
179 fujatives or similar for learning to jib and to replace the 1080´s
184 mantras for those days when I´m too lazy to ski either the LP´s or rossis. I like the grey/black ones with orange sidewall best, not because of how they ski, but because of the sound they make when it´s icy...
I´m missing a real contender for serious gun in this quiver, but I haven´t had a chance to ski anything in this category. Guessing b-squads, iggies, titan pros, moment komi-kazi, kreitlers or LP XXL´s would fit the ticket. This is the last thing i need however. :rolleyes:
And I´m keeping my Bataleon proto snowboard. (163 w/burton cxf and 32 team twos)
I think I´m done... :p
Edit: A pair of 195cm, ~125 waist, med-stiff, directional twin, 25-27m radius, glass/carbon layup, with triple base technology (see http://www.bataleon.com/en/triplebasetechnology/ for more info), now THAT would be sweet. If only i could find the time to make my own ski press...
Oh, and two pairs of XC-skis, one traditional, one skate.
Can I come up with a fantasy snowboard?
I want a biggish true twin, like the Unity Origin 164 I already own, keeping the solid feel and construction, but subtracting the weight, making it feel more like a Rome Design. Do you hear me, Rome or Unity? Either one of you makes a Unity Origin lighter, or a Rome Design stronger. I´ll be happy with either one. Thank you!
My current quiver:
164 Unity Origin with Union Force DLX (both 06/07) for steep powpow freestyle.
160 Rome Agent (07/08) with Rome 390s as an all mtn awesome park/pow stick.
158 Capita Indoor Survival with Rome Targas (06/07 both) as my rock/jib stick.
What I would like in addition (if I had the money and felt it would be reasonable):
158 Rome Mod as a strict kicker stick, with Union Force MCs(the magnesium/carbon ones). $950;-
156 Capita Stairmaster Extreme with Rome Arsenals for jibs. $570;-
158 Rome Notch with 390s strictly for tree runs. $690;-
167 Never Summer Summit Split (Blaho) with Rome Targas for steeper pow days and skinning. $1550;-
162 Rome Design with Union Datas for powder freestyle fun. $790;-
158 Rome Design with Union Force MCs as my second strict kicker stick, if the jumps are bigger than what the Mod can handle. $950;-
170 Unity Dominion Pintail with Rome Targas for steep fun. $800;-?
200 Rad Air Tanker with Union Forces. Why not? $800;-
A heli, and a pilot, especially for use with the 162 Design, 170 Dominion and the 167 Summit Split. $2 millions?
So I basically need approximately $2,007,100;-
Pow: 190 Lotus, 179 Hell Bent and 189 MadeN Ak
Everyday: 190 Gotama 06-07 or 07-08, M1's (when i feel the need) and Moment 188 Tahoes
No new snow, Southern hem and Spring skiing: 185 Karmas, 192 m777's, 179 Seths and 179 PE's to learn telly on.
Groomers and Racing: 188 Fischer race stock Rc4's 08' and 05' proto 205 Fischer SG skis.
All with Metal Salomon's aside from the race skis which have tyrolias and the PE's which are telly.
Couldn't resist.
Hmm...
Tele pow: Sanouk for big slopes w/ 7tm-hybrid (check)
179 Made'n AK for tight places w/ 7tm hybrid (check)
Tele allround & touring: 180 Explosiv w/ CRB (HW or 3-pin HW) (check)
188 Jp vs J w/ CRB (check)
Tele misery touring: 169 Blizzard Titan XL w/ 3-pin cable (check)
Alpine pow: 185 Praxis w/ FKS 155(check)
Alpine charging: Titan Pro w/ s997 Equipe (check)
Alpine allround: Atomic Crimson w/ ??? (missing)
AT pow: DP Wailer 105 w/ Duke (missing)
AT bashing: 190 Explosiv w/ Freeride (check)
AT lightweight DP Wailer 95 w/ Dynafits (missing)
MISERY XC:
Planning on actually coming down w/ some control: E99 Crown w/ 3-pins (check)
For fjell-touring & prepared tracks: Madshus Vidda w/ SNS-profil (check)
All in all, I'm relatively happy with my quiver. Especially, since I spend most of my snow time eating granola bars and smelling of patchouli :p. I could prolly replace the 180 Expouders with Wailer 95's, but in all honesty I don't see the point... I'm still young'ish and like suffering.
if I could afford it, my ultimate 6 ski quiver:
190 Gotama for everyday use
194 XXL for charging fast/comps/getting my ass kicked
185 Scratch BC for those tracked out/messing around days when you don't know what you're gonna be skiing
182 Sir Francis Bacon for deep tree skiing/booters/trying to ski like eric pollard
179 Bros for an ultralight touring setup that still rips
192 Lotus-138 flexed at 2 a secondary touring rig and for days when the resort gets dumped on (put dukes on this one?)
3 skis for me.
188 Ak Enemies for early/late season rocks and such. (old and beat but not broke)
190 Goats for eveyday
195 Praxis with dukes for pow and slackcountry.
I'm not into the park or big long tours, so this seems to fit me fine.
Straightlining = 201 Stockli Stormrider DP Pro
>24" = 196 Moment Comi-Kazi
12-24" / touring = 200 Lotus 120
4-18" = 193 Nordica Blower
Postpow / Crud / <6" = 196 LP
Early season = Line Prophet 100
In bounds new snow: 179 seths w/ bombers
In bounds no new snow: 173 explosivs w/ bombers
BC: 180 moment rubys w/ hammerheads
I really don't feel the need for something uber-fat. I don't think I could handle the cowboy stance w/ tele, and with my weight and 110 underfoot, it's all the flotation I need. 5'9 140 lbs. wet.
Current quiver
Deep Days 186 Line Prophet 130 w/px 15
Powder ski #2 183 Rossignol Axiom w/px15
Tree powder skiing powder days w/the wife and spring slop 173 Icelantic Shaman w/px15
Charging Ski Ninethward 187 w/px15
Firm days 186 Dyanstar Big Trouble w/px15
Rock ski hopeing for a pair of 180 exlosiv from a friend.
What I wish I had.
I would swap tha 187 for a 187 Dynastar XXL when it is available.
That is it other than that I like my quiver how it is.
07/08 quiver, tele:
im103 all-rounder, some pow/crud.
im88 for firmish days
big daddies (107 waist) for mixed days pow/firm/lotsa GS turns e.g. Mammoth
praxis for deeper days in trees, BC pow days
moment comi kazi for deep days / bigger terrain. haven't rec'd them yet.
brostiff 188 for backcountry all-rounder. for resort skiing it's not as versatile, or as stable, as the im103 or BD, but it is damn light.
plus another 6 or so pairs that get used for various other reasons.
quiver of 4 seems to be the minimum in my experience if you ski a lot of days in varied terrain in resort and BC.
bc powdays or fluffy inbounds: praxis w/ nx21
in bounds or boot packing: 183 gotamas
axioms are still in there for backup pow days... once the chop gets heavy but still deep.
question for those that tote multiple stix to the resort - do you leave your quiver locked in your roof rack? I honesty fear seeing my sexy sister theresas being jacked... not sure how secure a thule lock really is.
I have left mine locked in my roof rack for years at the bird with out a problem. I would think if the parking lot is traficed it would not be a problem or I have just had good luck.
Everyday charging: 189 Seths
Hardpack/crud busters: 195 AK Rockets
Powder days: 183 Gotama
Tele days: 187 Chronic wides, 180 Kahunas
Rando Days: 190 Lawnchairs
Boner City: 185 Praxis
Current quiver:
179 Brohemouth (touring/BC)
188 stiff BROs/190 Exploders (everyday)
189 'Toons (Powdayz)
Damn, I need a rock ski (why did I sell my AX4)
Hmmmm....
Everyday: 193 Blowers 1 x duke, 1 x 916
Touring: 200 Lotus 120 w/ dukes (just wanna try them)
Fun: 200 XXL w/ 916, 190 Pow + w/ 916 (too heavy to tour)
Jibby: scratch BC w/ P18s whichever year model, I liked them all so far for what they are
This is what I'm trying to assemble:
Lift-Serve
Everyday sidecountry: 190 Got with Axial 140 (check)
Everyday inbounds: 188 Stockli TT with Zrace (pending)
Tree Pow: 183 Rossi Axiom (checkx2)
Touring/Double Duty
Ice Approach: 178 Rossi Megabang with Silvretta (check)
Long Tours/ski mtneering: 185 DP Wailer 95 with TLT Speed (pending)
Pow tours/Lazy days: 188 Coomba with swappable Duke and TLT Comfort (pending)
Epic Pow: 190 Lotus 120 with swappable Duke and TLT Comfort (pending)
I really need to figure out the metal inserts or riser program - it will make my life so much easier.
I´ll leave mine in my skiguard. Even if the locals at my resort leave their cars running when they go into the store, and don´t lock their houses when they go on holiday for fourteen days...:eek:Quote:

I rarely lug more than a pair to the slopes. And if I knew the day mandates two pairs, the other is either in the car or in the chalet (where I'll stroll when I wan't to switch, prolly make some coffee and grab something to eat at the same time).Quote:

I see manny a dwarf a round these parts! Behold dwarves! here comes my dream quiver!
One setup for charging: 194 squads with salomon S920. check.
One touring setup: 191 pale TTX66 with naxo nx21 check.
But it is not the perfect touring setup id guess. A dp wailer with a duke would be nice. (and no!! i don't need anything thinner with a goddamn dynafit!!)
Some Rock skis around 100mm check: Big Daddies 03 193 with 10-18s.
Missing: Something Like a a 190 Sumo, or a Hellbent (But im not sure if they would be too soft for me) with a P18/S916. For playing in the Deep between the trees.
And a deeeeep Blower charging setup like a lotus 138 (192 or 202? hmm) or a Praxis 195. with S916/20 or P18s
maybe something in the 180-185cm range not much sidecut, stiff but light, 90mm waist. for skiing some steep stuff. S920 or P18 or duke on them and cranked really high ;)
I guess my squads would be ok for Ak heliskiing.
No, i would not be skiing really hard snow or groomers.
