You have one pair of socks and one pair of long underwear...yikes..I wouldn't want to room with you on a skitrip..

 

[snoseek]

Maybe clean out the closet, keep what you'll actually need and donate the rest to goodwill. I buy stuff, use it till it is total crap, and repeat. Clutter drives me insane, shopping (except when I truly need to) is even worse. Even for ski stuff.

Now, please list all your computer, audio and video quiver.
:dunce:

If your house gets burglarized in the next couple of weeks, I won't be surprised.
:dunce:

 

[2knees]

I have 2 pairs of skis but really only one that i use.

1 pair of boots

1 helmet

goggles, 1 and i almost never use them.

i have one ski jacket that smells like a locker room its so old.

i dont even own ski pants.

my one pair of ski socks smell worse then my jacket. so bad in fact i think i might go wild and buy another pair this winter.

i wear sweatpants and loungepants as my layers. not even ski clothing.

basically, i dont own jackshit for equiptment.

Like a junkie is going to find much of a market for used ski clothing and hard goods....

It would be great if somebody stole my electronic gear. Everything I own is obsolete except for a notebook computer and an $80.00 Canon printer. I doubt a junkie could lift my two big tube TVs.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

It still boggles my mind that some people have 1(one) pair of ski socks..unless they only ski once a week..

What if they don't wear socks?


I personally can never have enough unterhosen and socks...

I'll wear the same ski socks two or three days in a row when I put in short 2-3 hour night sessions..but for a full ski day..my socks are shot..

You can never have enough underarmour..I had 4 sets of underarmour for what was supposed to be 8 days of skiing in Jackson Hole..it ended up being 10 days due to flight issues and if it wasn't for a bathtub in the hotel room..they would have walked away..

I only ski once a week at best. I'm such a gaper......

 

[eastcoastpowderhound]

enough skis that my wife thinks we could use them to build an addition
3 goggles in my bag at a time, usually smith fuse...many more at home (smith, oakley) and I've given away at least a dozen to friends
enough long underwear/socks to go on a week trip without wearing the same stuff twice
2 pair of Marmot pants...more jackets
3 pair of poles...Scott WC SL, Leki WC trigger, Leki trigger Vario
Smith Holt helmet, Giro G10
I was a hardgoods/eyewear buyer, got plenty of ski stuff and accessories, but no other quivers to speak of...no impressive electronics, one 12yr old hardtail bike...still have an extensive rugby kit but hung up the boots 6 years ago

Rossi Axiom, B2's and Bx's

Boots:

New Dalbellos if I can get them to fit right :???:
5 year old Dolomites

Poles:

Black Scotts, about three years old

Jacket:

Columbia - 5 years old
Pants - black, don't know the brand, 8 years old, might get replaced

Gloves:

Black Kombis, two seasons old, will get replaced

Goggles:

1 pair, think they're Oakleys

Helmet

Marker, new last season

Undergear? one pair of long johns
Socks? whatever's on my feet seems to work; normal tennis socks

I do have a bunch of old skis that I no longer use and a small stash of gaper clothing for a fun spring day sometime.
