As much as it pains my inner Imelda, as part of my ongoing Ski Equipment Junky Therapy, I have a couple of things to say.
1) Hello, my name is Buster Highmen and I am a ski equipment hoarding freek.
2) I have 2 pairs of skis that my analyst says I need to admit that I can't really ski on anymore due to a knee that just isn't coming back from a nasty ACL/MCL mangle. They are:
....A) 1 pair 201 cm Stockli Asteroids, the silver and yellow ones. Skied 4 times, mounting holes for Diamirs IIs, no damage whatsoever. $250.
....B) 1 pair 200 cm 300 flex Iggy MFFL, Joe flame graphics. Also cherry shape, skied maybe 10 times. $300.
Thank you and now back to your respectively regularly scheduled sermons.

3 years. Still beating the old tunturi to smithereens. I have replaced the felted brake pads with wads of sandpaper several times.Originally posted by gonzo

i actually feel guilty about my current quiver, and i'd only feel more guilty about buying a duplicate of a ski I rarely use (201 stormrider dp--6 or 7 days last season maybe?).Originally posted by gonzo

(edit) 108-74-94 according to the specs. But these things are stiffer than any ski I've ever skied, so be aware.Last edited by Buster Highmen; 06-10-2004 at 04:32 PM.
