Hop, you make me feel infinitely better.

Raps, thanks, but...nice looking, and useless.
I'm not a 100 day skier, so over time I'm not breaking and beating skis as fast as I'm buying.
Haven't figured out quite what to ditch yet.

Bloom, regarding the Goats, noted, and here's the thinking:

-The R.EXs will stay, mountaineering/light.

-The mounted Goats will stay, they're my everyday board, and I love them.

-The DP 120s will stay, but I will swap some Dukes for the 916s if the Dukes prove out.

-Assuming that happens, I won't tour on the Helidaddies, cause I'll want to tour always on the 120s.
So, the Helidaddies could potentially go or get stashed somewhere I travel to with some frequency where it's a royal pain to get skis (e.g. Argentina)

-The Big Daddies are redundant, but I got them for so damn cheap that I'm on the fence there. They really should go though.
Price would be $500 min with the plate and p14s included. They are basically mint still.

-The white Goats were picked up for a friend who received 183s through a pro-deal, but wanted 190cm.
If he can get that corrected himself, then these would get sold. Price would be $500 min.

-The other black Goats were picked up because I like the Goats so damn much. But with all the other toys, they exist only as backup. So, they could go.
Again, $500 min when the time comes (couple months or so, I'll post a seperate thread in Gear Swap, don't worry).

-The Teledaddys are about the only ski that are pretty worked. They'll either get sold, or get remounted with the 916s and used as a rock ski.

-The Janaks will replace the Teledaddys as a tele ski.

So...at the most, White Goats, Black Goats, Teledaddies, Big Daddies, Heli Daddies will go.
Leaving me with R.EXs (84mm/Dynafit), Janaks (99mm/Tele), Goats (105mm/Alpine), DPs (120mm/Duke), Praxis (136mm/Alpine).
That "ought" to be more than enough to keep me busy.

If that happens, I won't tour on the Helidaddies, cause I'll want to tour always on the 120s. So, the Helidaddies could potentially go, or, better yet, get stashed somewhere I travel to (Argentina, UT, CA) with some frequency as a quiver of one, where it's a pain to fly with them (thinking Argentina right now!).

The Big Daddies are also pretty redundant with the Gots, DPs, and Praxis.
So, they should really go. But it's such a sweet ski, and I got it for SO cheap. Might be worth keeping around just to ski early season rocks. On the fence there.

The White Goats were picked up for a friend who received 183s through a pro-deal, but wanted 190cm. If he can get that corrected himself, then these could get sold to my brother who is moving to CA or to someone here. Price would be around $500.

The Black Goats were picked up because I like the Goats so damn much. I figured I want another pair eventually. Except, with this many other skis, I don't really think that's reasonable any more. Better to have more fun with fewer boards. So, they might go. Again, $500 min when the time comes (couple months or so, I'll post a seperate thread in Gear Swap, don't worry). Or, I could stash them somewhere else I go frequently that's harder to get to, like my brother's place in CA.

The Teledaddys are about the only ski that's pretty worked. They'll either get sold, or get remounted with Sollys and used as rock ski.

The Janaks will replace the Teledaddys as a tele ski.

So...

At the most, White Goats, Black Goats, Teledaddies, Big Daddies will go.

More like her ring!

And the new furnace we'll have to buy in the late fall.

And the upcoming trip to Argentina.

And any number of other ill-advised adventures.

For me? Not much. Honestly, at my weight and given how awesome skis w/ rocker are I don't see them getting a whole lot of use.

Others, like the Professor, might prefer a big 122-waisted "normal" ski (although he'd still whine about the twin).

Prof, if I make it to UT this year you're welcome to take them for a spin. :)

I hope you're not talking about me, because I carry my masculinity between my legs, not on my feet. :FIREdevil

Sadly, I'm pretty sure that LB's comment was directed at me.
For the record, however, this is self imposed. She could care less how many skis I have, so long as she gets presents too. :D

Silly to have all of 'em, but I buy in the spring and summer when I see a good deal and then figure out what to pass on and what to keep at a later date.
Also have the 195 Praxis coming.

I live in Montreal so Im pretty much forced to jib it up all winter long but I often go on summer skiing trips and Im moving back to BC permanently in 8 months. Actually, I just came back from a 3 week ski trip all over Chile yesterday. Ill post a thread with my best pictures soon. At my local ski hill, Mont Avila, which is pretty much one big snow park, I rock my huge sticks on the yearly gaper/old school fashion day (yes, we got those over here too!) and everybody looks at me like Im a freaking mutant with my 110mm+ waisted skis, I love it. Side flipping with 190cm skis off the 60foot tabletop feels so good. Rock on biatches!!....

Thd Do you like those SS pros? How do they perform? Ive searched and have found little on this stick. Would any one share their insight on the SS PROS

Thanks

I skied on the SS last year. Serious skis that require serious input. At slow speeds or in bumps or other crowded places, they handle like a dump truck in a parking garage. But with speed, decent snow and some space, they totally come alive. Absolutely fantastic on steeps. Good in powder, provided you like skiing in the snow rather than smearing - they're too skinny for that. They'll make you a faster, better skier; or they'll kick your butt, and you'll be selling them by Christmas.

I love them. Im no the biggest guy (5'11/180lbs) and they perform so well in powder and in pretty much any conditions: crud and the harder stuff too. I adore the combination of a soft-flexy tip, stiff underfoot and tail, straight-ish shape and the fact they are pretty damn light for their mega fat size. The soft tips eat up everything without making you feel it. Its flexyness sorta absorbs the bumps in the road instead of your legs doing it, a fucking great idea! Skiing fresh and tracked pow-pow has never been so easy and effortless for me. The only thing you cant do with these is carve, damn near impossible. It will hold an edge in any condition cause of its stiff underfoot and tail but its shape doe not permit any sort of carving whatsoever which means you have to pivot them to turn. Thats fine for me, their light, I avoid groomers, usually go as straight as possible and I learned to ski pow on 190explosives so this is a major upgrade. Get them, they may look hard to ski but in pow, they are effortless!!!!

Thanks man. I'm undecided between either the EHPs or a pair of Sanouks for a pow day ski. The Moment Melees sound pretty sweet too, although I don't know anything about symmetrical designs.

The EHPs really intrigue me though mostly for the traits you mentioned. That soft long rise tip will plane easily with no tip dive, and the stiffer tail give a nice landing platform I imagine.
