You're gonna stand there, owning a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen spliters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker donts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistling kitty chaser?

My next pair of skis, trying to decide between VCT's, ninthward tha's, or bro 183's. depends on which i can find first for cheapest..
numerous helmets, and even more numerous goggles
and many many bicycles, i think as many as there are pairs of skis...
Boy, i wish it weren't too cold to ski.
you can tell i live in a place with not many pow days. i'm still working on that side of the collection, and on those ski trips to use them. i only recently got addicted to fat skis, and trying to convince my boyfriend that i need more skis is a difficult prospect. especially when i trade in 75mm skis for 100mm skis. which is really the best way to go, obviously... when he skis with me, he borrows my skis, and usually is on the public enemys, though he recently discovered that the pimps were fun, and now i need a pair that are a similar size so that when he steals mine, i've got another pair to use.
what are those wooden skis with the cut tail?
and the scottybobs are the best. personally never skied a better tele ski. also, they make alpine boards now. they're from wyoming, silverton to begin with. excellent and snappy, do all go anywhere skis that turn great on hardpack, hold an edge like crazy, and float through pow. those cut tails, despite my claim that i was chased by snow sharks and all they got was a bite, are really for better tail release (i'm sure scottybob might say it slightly differently). tele turns are different radius turns on each foot, so the shortened side on the inside of the turn really cleans up the end of the turn, making skiing effortless. (that's kind of a lie, my quads still burn on scottybobs.)
i would suggest any tele skier get a pair. haven't tried the alpines yet, but i'm guessing they would be as fun.
Simple and effective. The LPs are waiting to be remounted with the 977s.

ya, those three skis pretty much kill it. the only thing I would want to add is a park ski.
The Billy Goats (center) are my everyday, do anything ski. No matter what it is I have no problem getting down it with them, they are nimble enough for tight lines and trees, yet I can still open up on them. These are the skis I use when I am shooting.
The Caylors (right) are the more jiby ski that I can still ski all mountain with. If I feel like I want to do some more switch stuff I take them up. A little big for the park but otherwise they work great.
The Wrenegades (left) are the baby crushers.
i'm beginning to realize that my daily drivers (pontoons so far this year) do the work most days... but sure is nice to have one skinny twinny, one long race pair for the super ice days when nothing else will do, one mid fat, and one real fat pair. so, that's 8 pairs legit if you include both alpine and tele... though the race pair would be the first to go, not that they're worth much...
