So I sit at work bitching about how much work I have to do in another thread, thinking about how much it sucks. When I arrive home the UPS man has arrived and dropped off the remainder of this years new gear. Oh yah, I say, I work for the money to spend on new ski gear.
Post em up kids! What is the new gear that has peaked your stoke-o-meter for the up coming season.

The skis on the right are my new toys;

Nice!! No picts, but I just arrived home with a brand new set of Nordica Beasts and earlier picked up some K2 Piste Pipe Tele ski's. Can't wait to us em!
That is a sweet setup there SkiBeaver. Are you going to bring all 3 to Japan or just the fatties?
And I don't have any pics yet but I picked up 185 K2 Shuksans for super cheap. Going to mount them with FreeRides.
Just dropped of my R:ex's for mounting with Freerides :)
An apartment in Whistler, B.C. First month's rent and deposit already put down!
Also, I may just be able to swing a pair of i.M103s this year... :D (not that I need them of course. It's just that I already have the i.M85s and the Mojos, and I want MORE HEAD. ;)
TTB, 10LPP!
Come on kids.... Lets see what you are going to be playing with/on!
Got these from a fellow maggot that doesn't really ever post...
My first pair of midfats. My widest pair before this was only in the 60's or so, just race skis. These are around 80 so its a big step up for me.... can't wait to ski em!

Honc was a highly-acquisitive maggot this off season. Picked up a pair of Karhu Jaks to replace my busted MegaBangs. Got a brand new pair of 195 XXXs mounted with freerides for touring and I got me some spatulas for the uber-deep Kirkweed days. Hot damn!
Also picked up some new Solly X-wave's to replace the Nordica & Technica course models that have tortured my shins for the last 6 years. Onward & upward (then downward).
You make me envious, those are exactly the type of skis missing in my quiver.Quote:

-Karhu Jaks

-New headlamp

-New Diamir Titanal IIIs (For my 178 Inspireds - is now gonna be my technical BC ski)
That's it for now....
Well, nothing *new* but new to me - I just picked up that last pair of 195cm AK Launchers (yellow ones) with Solly S900's from Evogear for $199. According to UPS Tracking, they should be here at work tomorrow in the AM. They left SLC this morning, so I am assuming they are somewhere on I-80 right now...
[DOH!] shoulda got the JAK's [/Doh!]
Oh well, didn't have enough $$$ to get bindings. Maybe mid-season I'll pick up some more-fatter-fattier-fatties, but for now the lawnchairs will do!
Can't complain!
The jaks on the right mounted w/ the binders from the bigs...

man...skis sure are ugly!
The only ones that look half way decent are the one that look like a snowboard. :eek:
ps. <this space reserved for when I can add new gear stoke of my own>
183's and Look P12's :D
I love how the Gotamas just dwarf all the other skis...Quote:

I've been comparing mine to my R9.22's and giggling like a little school girl. I love new gear. I've had a smile on my face since I saw the tell tale long box sitting on my deck...Quote:

New skis and garden tools. Beat that :)
The K2s are new, the Atomics are old.
This season's gear turned out much better then expected. New 4FRNT MSP 187s, Solli X-Wave 10 boots and Oakley goggles. And I guess the "Soul Purpose" and "Stimulus" vids that just came in the mail :D
since i've been out of commish for the whole summer all i've done is buy stuff that i cant use. way too much stuff, some of which was purchased on ebay while seriously lacking judgement due to insanely high levels of post operative opiate ingestion.
all i did after surgery is take drugs, watch every ski move in existence, and buy gear.
i also got a ski shop job purely for the pro forms, because i cant stop. i still need new boots (thinkng sally promodel) and a 90-95 mm every day resort ski. and i want a steezy hat.
Something like one of these? :DQuote:

Still need boots.
Current list of new (to me) stuff:
K2 Axis X from Joshbu
Bromodels w/Rossi 140's
Rossi Bandit XX still in need of binders (anyone got cheap ones?)
That's about it. I need ski pants too, still haven't decided what I'm doing on that front, might just duct tape up my markers and just roll with it.

Colors sucks but the fit is great.
And maybe might be getting some new skis (model to be determined) if I can get my buddy to help me cut, split and sell some firewood.
oh man I've TOTALLY overindulged on ski gear
Glidelite skins for the explosives
Clipfixes for the wifes explosives
Trekkers from Hollywood for the wife
O3 bindings for my explosives
Revelation Pack
Boot bag to replace the one that fell apart last year
Garmin Vista
And I'm not even done yet :rolleyes:
Allrighty, I'll play.
New to me Explosiv's (courtesy of mntlion), bet none of you have ever seen any with this super exclusive topsheet on them have you! ;)

I have no more skis. Just a dream.

- 184 R:EX
- 189 Seth Pistols
Dumping more than I'm adding...for once...
Nice to see there are at least few people here that have got some HEAD! :D
One of the most underrated skis IMHO, as people are always talking about Völkls, Salomons, Rossignols, and (here) Iggies, DB's...
I'm getting a pair of Mad Trix Mojos (with Tyrolia bindings) soon. To complete my quiver with iM103's. Gonna sell my PR's with Diamirs, and prolly buying a pair of Alpine Trekkers for Mojos (not skinning too much this winter I guess). The Mojos will serve as my all-around do-everything skis. Maybe they're a bit wide for that but I've just used to feeling of 90mm middle skis.
Also considering buyin a new flexon inner shoe for my Lange Banshee Pros (killer combination - Langes with Flexon type inner shoe, no shin bang ever!). Booster straps would be nice too for that modification...
Photos coming soon probably...(I'm going to post them to the tech talk 'quiver' thread I guess...)
My new ride is on the left.

I can't wait to try these boards out in the pow :D
