181 vs my previous ones at 171. those were waaay too short, especially out of the bumps.

$249 was the price.

Well I'm a year late on a new carving ski bc I didn't get to demo last year due to no demo day at Mt. Snow. Last time I demo'd carving skis that I loved it was 2008, i believe, and they were the Head iSupershape Magnums.

For now I guess I'll keep fartin' around on my old Nordica SUV14s and my demo K2 Public Enemies and my K2 Cabrawlers which haven't received nearly enough dedicated use. Try to demo some stuff this winter and then buy it next spring/summer on clearance if possible.

I got new pants at the end of last year that are ready to go.

Prob will start looking for a new jacket too.

yeah, but the 181 might make it a bit tougher to throw the quad twister

You need to learn the fine art of cross blocking with your ski pole, gate bashing race style. I still get a few good ones to the face every year even with this technique, though.

:-D

I try but the twigs win all the time. I'm tired of showing up at work on Monday with scratches on my face like some cat or overzealous date tried to claw my face off.

You should consider selling the pair...

Thinking of selling the pair to get a surfboard.

+1. In my experience :dunce: blocking with one's helmet is not a good idea! :roll:

S has stopped asking what happened to my face when I don't get my hand up in time....

:-o :dunce:

That's the best part! Its like the scene in fight club when the narrator comes into work looking like crap... just not as severe. :lol:

You guys do realize Red Bull is building me my own private half pipe, right? It's going to be in the NW Connecticut backcountry.

What's it going to be made of?

Mud?

Nothing. I bet you didn't expect that from a woman. I am more than set on gear...probably should sell the Rossi S6s, even. I just need to drop 10 lbs so I can fit in the soft goods.

What's on your shopping list for this year's ski season?


me -
3/4 length baselayer pants
helmet
waxing kit
ski rack
thin ski socks
all weather floor mats for the new SUV
maybe some pants if i don't drop a few pounds before season start

at the end of the season i'll probably be looking for a closeout deal on new skis for next year.

Already got new skis, new Dynafits, and new skins to go with them so I am pretty much set. Oh yea, new digi cam too. Still considering a nice new jacket. Not something I need but my current jacket is falling apart and I have never been thrilled with its performance when wet from the inside. Waiting for BC's annual 20% off sale prior to winter and might pull the trigger. Need my annual glove liner purchase as well.

Well, that sure as shit didn't last long. :beer:

Didn't even make it to the 20% off sale from BC but they had some stuff at 30% off including a new hard shell and fleece. Also got stretch gloves and a new neck gaiter. And 50% off a DriClim Windshirt from REI. My turn earning layering these past few seasons has left me rather damp on the up and cold at the top so hopefully I can get it right. Wanted to snatch up a new soft shell too but I can wait on that. At least I have my base layering in order :roll: can't go wrong with patagonia capeline. But you can go wrong with cheap mid layers and the thinest non-insulating and barely breathable soft shell known to man.

Glad I got that straightened out.
