Your oldest ski still in active use?

I've currently got a 3 ski quiver. My oldest by far is the original Soul 7s (10 years). I put new bindings on them last year. To me, they are just perfection in a few inches of soft snow to pretty deep stuff.

What's your oldest?

My Head Monster 76's. 2009 ski I bought in 2010 for a great price at a closeout retailer in BTV. Great for low snow days and carving days with some bumps and in great shape for the age.

1968 Hart Javelin, 1970 Dynamic vr17, 1975 Dynamic vr17, I use them various times during the season
just to make sure I can uncross the tips and practice catching an edge

Volant Gravity 68s with Marker 1100 bindings. Circa 2003. I use them for spring and early season. I think I skied them more last year than my good skis :-(

Circa 1983-1984- Dynastar Omeglass II Equipe (203cm) w/ Marker M 40 Race bindings (5’7” and 160 lbs back then) Limited production model w/ inverted fiberglass Omega, acrylic foam reinforced. For very demanding skiers. The company describes it further as “A start-of-the-art World Cup performance ski built to racing department specs. Designed for racers and very aggressive experts.” (as per Ski Magazine ad) Specs: 3.5lbs (1,7 kg)/ ski. I Skied w/ Lange XLR’s primarily circa 1983-still have, and skied 3-5 times on them (Jan 2, 2020, and Jan 2021)-early season rock danger.) Still Dynamite

I also have a pair of 1977 Hexcel Primer Cord skis (195cm) they came to me with Look bindings, but I was going to have to remount them to fit my boots, so I mounted up a pair of Salomon 555 Equipe bindings I had. I skied one run on the in 2024; but they were in desperate need of a hot wax and were basically unskiable. I decided that the Salmon's, even though lightly used and in great shape, were likely unsafe as I have had them since at least 1980, especially w/ the new GW boots. I plan/hope to mount them with a new pair of Salomon Strive bindings and put a full tune on them. I even have Hexcel binding mounting instructions, and have mounted a few pair back in the day too!
