The ultimate quiver

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:

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).

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.

Why do you need 920's for free riding? Do you ski on >15 DIN everyday? or did you get them cheap or something?

Not being a dick or anything i'm just realy Curious ;)

Current Quiver:
Pow: Lotus 138s w/ 916s

Touring/Slackcountry:
188 Soft Bro with FR
200 Lotus 120s w/ Dukes

Everyday:
189 Seth
192 Elan m777

Desired Quiver: Add some Wailer 105s w/ dynafits and I'll be set.

i ski on 14-16 most of the time. 17 on my atomics because they threw my out on 14-15 when i didn't want them to...
I ski fast and have a bad technique, a disastrous combination for getting thrown out of your bindings :eek: :D
The 10-18 still release when needed (hitting icy bumps below 20cm of blower with 50-60kph, or accidently hucking 3m to hard cat track in dense fog )

The S920 were overkill i guess, but the e-bay store i got them together with my cheaaap squads didn't have anything else left (i would have preferred a 916 or FKS185 or p18) and the price was ok. I will test them at 16 and hope my knee will survive ;)

edit: fritz, can i get a DAMN! that IS a nice dream quiver already :eek:

179 Bros with Dynafits - Inbounds, Touring, BC, POW etc

180 Explosives with 997's - Rock skis

188 Stupid stiff Bros - For the days when I feel like skiing at mach looney.

200 AK Rockets, 916's (green topsheet) - for hauling balls down tracked-out inbounds bowls
195 AK Rocket LABs, 920's (swallowtail) - first tracks, straight down... These don't really like to turn.
192 Line Mo'ship Titanium, 912's (chick w/ the ghetto blaster on the tails)- messin' around in the trees, gaper slalom down the blues...
190 Got's, 914's - deeep stuff, crud, and chutes - pretty much my everyday ski.
179 Hellbents - in the plastic. because, you know... everyone's doing the rocker thing.
188 Scratch BC's, NX21's (black/red topsheet)- my tree skis / AT rig
LBF's - several sections of edge missing. these would be my first-line-of-the-season-skiing-down-rocks-with-2-inches-of-coverage-skis.
191 BD Nunyo, Riva comps - superlight BC tele setup
183 T3's, 02's - my first tele rig...
179 Fujative, 912's - (shasta topsheet - I love those graphics, it's where I grew up) bumps and trees and f-ing around in the park
182 Dynastar Speed SX, 914's - ice, ice, ice, ice, shit, ice...
197 Dynastar Speed SF, MRR's - for when I feel like prereleasing down the ice...
192 Dynastar Speed SF, free, S900 demos, for teaching friends how to ski...
200 Swallow Monocoque, Purple and pink Markers - Slide Back day. You've never seen a prettier pair of rainbow neon bases!

Some of these are going to be converted to tele when I get my hammerheads this year... :D

You know, you can pull the inner spring out of the 920's, it's just a 'lil 4-din spring that sits inside the 16-din monster. Voila - 916's.

I'm really pretty psyched with the quiver I have going

Super long tours/ Ski mountaineering:
160 K2 Sahale w/ TLT Classics

Bushwhacking/touring for turns:
180 Cross Terrains w/ 3 pins

Everyday Touring:
180 Heli Daddies w/ TLT Classics

Inbounds/Sidecountry:
180 Heli Daddies w/ Dukes

Rock/Park/Early/Late season:
179 K2 Public Enemies w/ Mojo 15's

Tele:
177 TM:X w/ O3's

the only thing I'd really like to upgrade is my Powder boards:

180 Pow Plus w/ 977 I want to move to something lighter, a touch longer, and maybe a slight bit softer in the shovel

I'd also love to throw in a pair of bump skis, and possibly something like a 6 star for real hard pack days, but only since this is the "ultimate quiver thread"

Pretty close to my ideal. If anything i need to dump a couple of sets.

Pow: Lotus 138's (192) with 916's

Sidecountry: Unity Hiatt Twin (155-140-155) with Dukes

Non pow: Legend XXL with 916's

fun1: Rossi Scratch BC (185) with FKS 155's
fun2: K2 Public enemy (174) with 914's

park: Volkl expression (164) with centre mounted 914's
