I ride one board 90% of the time. Currently a Salomon Burner 163, but nothing will ever compare to my old Never Summer Titan 164. I think people put way to much into what board they ride though. Equipment really doesnt do all that much to make you better. It might feel better, but a shitty rider is going to be a shitty rider regardless of whats strapped to his feet. I also personally hate transitioning between equipment. Not that its hard or something, but it means Im thinking about my equipment while riding, something I personally cant stand. I want to just ride, not worry about my board, or goggles, or what have you.

I think its more important to find a board or ski you love, then pay well for it. Quality over quantity right? That being said I have 3, my old Never Summer (500+ days, no edges, rock board for retirement), and Burton S-Series 168 for backcountry. Each board is pretty much perfect for its intended purpose.

But like I said, I pretty much only ride one, and the others are the exact same board in terms of shape/feel. Find something that works, then stick to it.

Rossignol Phantom SC80 185cm ...

Have you taken a demo run on the Rossi S3?

I'm curious how they compare to the Phantom. I personally didn't like the Phantom but I've heard great things about the S3. I could use something narrower than my S7s for glades.

The Experience 98 is another one on my wish list. So many skis, so little time!

Didn't know that there would be much interest in my ski quiver. Found this pic that shows all 6 pairs. 1pr. Volant Super 1 - 198cm (1998 model). 3 pairs Volant Power Karves all 193cm (1997 & 1999 models). 1pr. Dynastar Intuitiv 74 - 188cm (2002/03 model). 1pr. K2 Axis XP- 174cm (2003 model).

Wow. I almost went blind for a second there.....

Those are some long pieces of steel! You might be able to recycle them for a profit It was way before we were mentally prepared to go shorter. I believe the real key in shopping for old Volants for use today is to find them in shorter lengths. They carve like crazy....
