how old are your oldest skies you still use?

[Vortex]

What are the oldest pair of skies you still use? I have a pair of kneissl (Spelling) from 1988. I was cool. I use 160's know.

I burned all my old skis in a ULLR sacrifice..

Currently I have a pair of Solomon Crossmax skis.. About a year old I think... Ski Patrol hand me down...

 

[Sparky]

The oldest I still use are cross country skis. Karhu that are over 22years old. Don't get the wrong idea, I use to do a lot of cross country before I could afford downhill. Actually this is not a complete set of karhus, one broke in two so one is a brand that I cannot remember and I don't think they are still in business.

I pretty much sell the skis I use at the end of each season and get new. I have one pair from last year I'm keeping.

I still have my Dynastar Vertical Assault bump ski

Don't remember the year, but it was before the kids...several years before the kids...

It's such a specialized ski, and one of the downsides is that it won't hold a big gs turn without the tail washing out...

But snappy turns...and great in the bumps...and 203's

Maybe I got them around the year my son was born give or take a year....12-15 years...

I tried to Google them, but no dice...

Anyone remember. What year did Donna take the Gold?

1992...

I have some video of her at Killington YELLING her ass off at some guy for jumping her line..

I gotta dig that out - took it from the chair...

Salomon force 9 205's. I think they are about15 years old.

The thing about mogul skis, is they haven't changed their design all that much.

205 Volkl P10 RS skis about 15 years old...go tremendously fast & lock in GS turns with great rebound...too tiring to use compared to today's skis...a great morning ski...

Nope you're right still pretty much STRAIGHT....I think they may have gone slightly smaller than back when I was sking those verticals, but shape wise...they've hardly changed a bit..

SRO - I always thought your bushwacker was a great handle for a guy who skis at Sugarbush. Why did you change it to ski_resort_observer?

Atomic 9.22 Beta's 1998 (I think)

No camber left. Total wet noodles. (Still fun in pow w/no base. Great for first trip down Redline, Blackline or Master!)

oldest in the active quiver are a pair of volkl p40 platinums (00-01 model i believe?) at an unweildly 193cm's! to think, when i bought those, i was trying to go smaller after a pair of 198s! those skis are essentially retired at this point now that my p50s are officially in the rock ski status position.

1997 salomon 1080s (the first year the 1080 came out) although they are alpines and I mostly tele.

OK I guess I'm older than most of you. I have a pair of Olin mark VI's (green w/ yellow letters)from 1976 (my college years). I sent them back to Olin in the early 80's and had them completly reconditiond. They are in great shape since I only take a run or two on them every couple of years or so.
