Fav skis of all time

[JMO]

I'm with Schmear on the Salomons but the original orange 1S (212cm) was the BOMB! Moving from the KVC to that ski changed my world forever.

Then there was the pair of 222cm Yamaha DH boards (all blue with MRR bindings) that I grabbed at a consignment shop in Truckee. Holy crap, those things were fast. Had to give em up when I moved back east, though. You can hurt folks with those things around here. Tucking the groomer under the Siberia quad at Squaw on those things still ranks as one of the biggest rushes I've ever had on skis.

Hmmm...interesting topic: What's the biggest rush you've ever had on skis?

I think all old skis that have fondness in my heart met an early demise. That being said my two favs are:

-K2 GS Race 204cm (blue and greenish graphics). I finally had a pair of big GS sticks like all the guys in the mags. I remember arcing huge turns down a face of some bowl at Alta. I didn't even have them that long and then bam! Blew out an edge (really badly) landing on a rock off a cliff I had been lapping off the chair. RIP.

-Nordica Z TT 180cm, first twin tip they ever made. had yellow topsheet with black tips on each end (look like bananas). I proformed them when I worked at a shop for $160. They had fast all black bases and were my first twin tip ski. I think I've only ever seen one other person with them at a hill. They skied so nice. The tails started to delam (weird, I know). I sent them in in hopes of getting next years model and they just credited me $130 (took off shipping). I wish now I'd just popped a few rivets in the tails and kept them.


On that note, I picked up my new Pistols last night. I can't stop touching them.
