Hmmmmm, nope. But you may like them if you have them remounted.
hey severine, what's the dilema, why the buyer's remorse...if you like the joyriders why is there no joy? Are they center mounted?

They have a system for mounting, so you can change it however you like (within reason, depending on BSL). That's not the problem. I spent money I shouldn't have on them... and I really need the money more. I got caught up in the "I need a quiver" madness and lost my head for a little while. Felt I needed something that was better on hardpack/boilerplate than my Maries (which they would be). But honestly, I mostly ski at the local hill, I really don't need to be over-complicating my life with a full quiver. It's just not necessary.

Rossi b4's
Bd ethics + freerides
crappy old volant superkarves
The only package (skis + bindings) that cost more than $400 is the touring rig (thanks to the cost of the freerides new), but that still comes in around $500 incl. skins.

I have 5 pairs right now where I could just step into them and ski away.( 2 pairs of Atomic B5 Metrons 172cm's, a pair of 182cm Volkl P50 5 Stars, a pair of 191 Rossi 9X Pros, and a pair of 198 Rossi 9X 9.3's) Basically I just use the Atomics for 99% of the ski season.
If you count the pairs I also have that are now cut and and serve as my ski chair, well then my number goes upto 10 pairs.

Flawed...Poll cannot be adjusted on a day to day basis as the quiver changes.

I think only you and Trekchick have that problem! :lol:
Are 5 pairs the amount that building one of those chairs requires? I ask because I'm saving old skis to do the same.
If this is the case, well I guess I need to buy another pair of skis to retire that fifth pair I need to have the chair built. :idea:
I wonder what my old lady would think of that excuse if I brought home another pair of skis :lol:

Usually it's 4 pairs(depending on the length). My wife went with the 5 pair option when she had it made for me for 2 reasons. #1 she wanted some extra color on my chair(the portion of my quiver that was cut up to make the chair was full, prime late 80's/early 90's color scheme skis!) and #2 She wanted "get rid" of 1 extra pair that had been occupying space in my basement

...well, truth be told the fifth pair I was looking to retire and replace are my old Powder Boards which are about 130mm waist
They and one other pair would probably be enough for a chair. I'm wondering how the chair companies are adapting to the new styles of skis. The construction must be far more difficult with shaped skis and I'd imagine it's more difficult to make them comfortable due to all the various dampening plates and torsion bars on newer models. Glad I saved my old early 90's vintage dynamics.

Rossi B2s
BD Havocs with Freerides
BD Verdicts with G3 Ascent (tele)
BD Stigma to be mounted with Dynafit
Icelantic Pilgrims unmounted...
I'll prob get rid of something here and end up with 4, possibly 3.

3 pairs currently:
Atomic Metron B5s (for most days)
Volkl Gotamas (for pow days & spring skiing)
Dynastar Renegade (for rock conditions - rarely used)
I'm looking to pick-up a GS race ski for this season to diversify a bit. The Metrons will be replaced soon somehow anyway because the edges are cracked in 4 different places. I think I hear a warranty claim being filed soon.

Errahhhh? Atomic Beta Rides...should get donated. Haven't skied them in 4 years. So maybe I drop down to 3 pair.
Carvers (Dynastar Contact 11's) I could lose. I used them when I was keeping my Volkl Supersports "clean" for NASTAR. Don't really enjoy them as much as I expected. Might donate these as well. Won't need them with the new addition which will allow me to use the Volkls for cruising.
Errr ? Volkl Supersports....love these skis. Raced them for the last three years.
GS Fischer RC4s...new this year. Commiting to the course!
