Just wondering what everyones favorite "ski stuff" might be. I have 3. !st is a pair of WWII skis that belonged to my grandfather that my dad turn into a lamp for me. 2nd would be I have a framed picture of my dad skiing (1950) along with all his ski club patches from 1950-1954 at Greek Peak. And 3rd would be a patch I got from the 1984 olympics held at Whiteface.

I know none of that is super outstanding or anything, but it's cool stuff to me. What you guys/gals got???

My favorite is a picture of my mom and dad taken at the base of Hunter around 1975. I had it restored, blown up and framed.

A picture of me and my 3 kids in front of the Gondi at Gore, Thanksgiving day, 6 years ago.

The Olympics at Whiteface were in 1980..not 1984..

Hahaha..as a former Scholastic scrimmage team member in High School I need to get my ass on Jeopardy...lol

To be honest with you I thought for sureit would take a bit longer than it did, and tought for sure HPD would catch it. Being wrong on both accounts would prove that I was NOT on any Scholastic scrimmage team in HS or any other school. Did get darn good at playing foosball in college though.

My favorite "ski stuff" is my wedding album. Hubby and I went to Killington, skied for the day, eloped that night. Spent the week skiing. Doesn't get much better than that.

This is perhaps the wildest ski adventure I have ever heard about. Talk about a leap of faith!

I'd have to say my camera. I really love having lots of pictures to look at when I get home from a ski trip and to stoke me throught the summer months. My desktop background right now is a picture I took off of Little Whiteface in NY last December.

I just threw out several dozen old ski magazines//Powder, Snow Country, Ski, and Skiing from the 90s...I have a one bedroom apartment and I want my place less cluttered so they're in the dumpster..

This might be kind of strange. I couldn't take watching the TV all day on 9/11. I was pretty freaked out, especialy since I had to go to work the next day at Rockefeller center where I ran the HVAC plant. To keep myself busy and try to get my mind off this disaster I built a ski rack out of oak. Everyday I see it it reminds me of that day. I never want to forget what can happen, as I work in the city and prolly will for some time to come.

I've got a lot of ski stuff, some of my favorites are:

A huge laminated trail map of Buttermilk, CO (I think it's 60x45, maybe bigger).
A B/W poster of Tuckerman's
A big shot of the Bear Mountain side of Killington from the air.
