all plastic yellow with some sort of giraffe pattern. Retaining straps.
First real skis were some Olins, some sort of race ski. Hot pink bases that made the snow glow like it was radioactive. I loved them.

Last season the skis I skied on the most were a 170..wow..crazy..but I still have two pairs of 195s in my apartment..X-screams and Vipers..holla

K2 712s, 175cm. There was a fun bump ski. Couldn't ski bumps;-), but man do I remember how nice those wood core skis(without much else) felt going into and coming out of the trough..into the crest..
They really were a playful ski. It's a good thing too...cause I probably would've killed myself with anything else...;-)

My first skis(non-rental) were some pair of Elans. The were straight and black. No idea what the model was, im gonna guess 120-130 length.

Hummer (no joke) yellow with orange stripes 1980 or 81. With some weird looking Tyrolia bindings that of course had the dreaded runaway straps.

In the summer of 1994 after two days on rentals the previous season, I went out and bought the cheapest set-up I could get (poor college student at the time):
190 cm Elans - straight, black, and the most basic model they made, forgot the name
Salomon Quadrax bindings
Alpina boots
I think the whole set up cost about $250.
