Nothing new to sport over here.
Sticks 2 years old and 4 years old.
Boots are 4 years and beat to hell.
Poles are 3 and beat to hell but have plenty of life left in them.
I like making do with what ya have makes you a better skier in the end.

My Norwegian Telemark sweater that was a present from my host family when I was an excange studentin Norway for Christmas 1993. Warm as hell and will last me at least another decade.

And to regionalize it, being that coastal Washington is basically Appalacia West,

My oldest piece of gear is still my touque.

I really can't think of what is my oldest gear, I've got relics, like a full set of bear traps on wooden skis, complete with bamboo poles, and a pair of Hart Downhills that are 220's and have a raised emblem in chrome, like a Caddillac, never mounted.
As for what I use, probably Scott poles, I love em'!!
I think I have four pairs, a few mismatched, round here, there all everyone of our crew uses, older the better, the coveted ones are the red and black ones.
I do have an old Rossi hat that's late 70's grey with a big ol' Rossi emblem on it, but it's all wool and a bit itchy so I don't sport it too often.Skiing, where my mind is even if my body isn't.

I have a set of ski poles I use occasionally that are from the late 80's and a colombia parka that I will wear on a warm spring day that is from around the same time. Everytime I wear it I thank God I had my mom take back the bright green and yellow ski coat she originallly bought.
