The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder. I will not be long now. I just had to get my ski out and check out the damage from last year.....I have some work to do!

These are my skis and my lady's skis( fischers on the left and K2s on the right) I will be waxing soon. We have a trip planned in November!


I want to sell my 1080 cr johnson labs ..... any takers make me an offer.

I don't have my quiver or a digital camara handy but I'll describe my quiver in words from oldest to newest.

Rossi Viper X skis..195 with Salomon bindings with lifters..I bought them slightly used in Montana when my old K2 El Caminos bit the dust..

Salomon X-scream 195 with Salomon binders...a kid I knew in Montana needed money for a fishing trip and sold me his skis for $100. The best ATM visit ever..I last skied on those a year ago on gaper day..not as good as todays technology but solid skis.

Elan S12s..I bought back in February 2005 from a local ski shop with binders..in a 176 length..dimensions are 112-67-100...the tips bent after a few dozen days and the shop replaced them because they were under warrenty..I had a fresh pair of Elan S12s which I still use today to start off the 2005-06 ski season.

Atomic LT11s..170 length..66 at the waist..a bit over 100 at the tips..I bought these in early 2006 off e-bay with the Neox binders for about 5 bills. Very solid skis..the shortest skis I skied on since 9th grade. They are pretty much rock skeeze now and beat to skeet with core shots galore and minor edge damage from skiing the marquee route at Blue and other low-snow off-piste adventures..I slid my first rail on those though and didn't get nutted.

Rossi Scratch BCs..I skied on both K2 Public Enemys and K2 Seth Pistols in the past out west and wanted some sort of mid-fat ski with decent sidecut so I could still get low in the turns..I bought them off steep and cheap in mid 2007 for about $180...and bought mojo 15 binders from the local ski shop

Nordica Blowers..193cm..I bought off Tramdock/Backcountry.com earlier this summer. They are big skis..110mm in the waist with a turning radius in the high 20s..I love big GS turns in deep crud and these skis are going to rock in that department along with when I ski out west...I can't wait to ski on those..

Later this fall I want to purchase some new ice coast carvers...around a 180 with a turn radius about 17-18..stiff..and hopefully metal core for extra weight and speed..

I'm still hemming and hawing about keeping the Dynastar Novas that I bought new last season at the ski swap (and quickly learned that they're more of a beginner than intermediate ski). But here's the quiver:

154 Dynastar Nova
162 Roxy Joyrider
165 Dynastar Marie Martinod Pro TT

Definitely decided to keep the Joyriders. The Maries are a keeper. I'm thinking the Novas might be good to learn bumps on... but I don't know. They're much shorter than the others (likely too short for me now) and skinnier (66mm waist, versus 74mm on the Joyriders and 78mm on the Maries). Brian said they could be rock skis. Or I could just try to sell them at the swap this year and recoup some of the money I've spent... I don't know yet....

I no longer have the Volkls so I guess I'm back down to a two ski quiver. That's all I really needed last year.

Still contemplating some powder boards, but I'm fine if it doesn't happen.

..No Pics here either...

172 Dynastar MythicRiders(88w) .4"+, trees
181 Liberty Hazmats(94w) ..........~8"+
170 Volkl G3s(70w) ...................rock skis/groomers(...a little on the heavy side and are OLD, but are still great on steeps and in bumpy terrain, little too much for me in mogul field though...suppose Greg's gonna tune in to tell me to PRACTICE..;-) ..but a terrific Tuckerman/Slides ski)

Just added a Nordica Dobermann SLR to mix as well.
Looks like last years pic!

I've been toying with the idea of a SL ski after following dave around in some tight skied out trees last year. But then again I also want a fat touring setup... and some real race skis...
