Your 2011 / 2012 Season Gear Haul

[Nick]

What did you get / upgrade / add for this season?

Lots of replacement gear this year... now we just need some

So far:

• Boots (Dalbello Krypton Cross ID), upgrading from Nordica T51's
• Poles (.... unsure of brand, but replacing my Atomic red poles I bent to @(*# last season)
• Pants (North Face Enzo, replacing some ripped ones from last season)
• Skis (tbd)
• Ski bag (Transpack XT1, replacing circa 1990 neon green boot bag)
• Dakine cable lock (for fear of new equipment being hoisted)
• Undergarments - new thermals & socks
• Gloves - (Marmot) - replaced ripped Dakines

I buy a fresh case of beer every weekend. Occasionally pick up a lighter.

 

[wa-loaf]

Hmmm, more than I thought when I think about it.

Gloves: Stoic trigger mitts off of SAC, Hestra Race gloves.
Poles: Leki Trigger GS poles.
Skis: Salomon Enduro 84's
Jacket: New RPK Jacket. Picked up a Large at TJX. I have a medium that feels kinda tight. So now I have one for when I feel fat.
Pants: Got some Spider ski pants last year, but never wore them till this year, so they count as new.
Goggles: Grabbed some Smith I/O goggles off of SAC recently. Really nice btw!
Helmet: Just got a Briko race helmet off of eBay.

I have a problem and need to burn my credit card.

A case isn't enough and what about buying the stuff you need your lighter for??:flame::razz:


I haven't bought much for me yet. So far I picked up S7 Jr pro skis and Head Mojo bindings for my older son. I sitll need to get him poles and rent boots for the year. He will also need socks, thermals etc and possibly a new shell as well snice he grew 5 inches this year.

Above all else I need new boots so I will be headnig to Green Mountain Ortho on the 26th. I'm hoping they carry lange as I'm really intersted in the RX130. If I make it past that sticker shock I would really liek to pick up a powder/soft snow ski. Wodl really love the pure RP112 Wailers but snice I can't justify roughly 1,500 including the binding its more likely I will look at the Line SFB and Opus or the Moment Bibbys.

 

[Philpug]

Where to start....

Boots: Tecnica Cochise
Skis: Rossignol Experience 88 w/ Rossignol FKS155

[drjeff]

New Phenix coat and pants

And my hunch is that after demo day on Saturday at Mount Snow i'll be adding a new pair of skis to my list!

I never finish all the beer from the previous week. It's a good way to accumulate a nice selection. In a few weeks we'll be set for the season. I have been up for 5 trips and it adds up. The other stuff is procured in bulk.

 

[o3jeff]

I didn't buy a lot so far

Jacket: Marker Helios
Poles: Some K2 poles out of the Evo outlet
Narrower binding ski brakes

I did get a new pair of skis back in March, but that I think that is considered a last seasons purchase!

 

[Cannonball]

I made a pledge to save my money and not to get ANY new gear for this season. So far I've picked up:

- Skis: Dynastar Huge Troubles
- Board: Arbor Element.

In my defense the skis are used and the board was sort of a present.

PS: I am baffled by the concept of a case of beer lasting a week...with leftovers.

 

[Madroch]

Skis: Fischer Motive 84
Gloves: Kinco
Ski rack: thule

That is all for me-- spent all the $$$ re- outfitting two kids: 2 sets of skis, 2 pairs boots, 1 jacket, 2 ski pants, 2 goggles, 1 helmet-- blah they grow so damn fast.

 

[deadheadskier]

Fischer Motive 84

was considering a new jacket, but don't really 'need' one.

all set with the rest of my gear

 

[snowmonster]

Skis: Rossignol RC112
Binding: Marker Baron
Pants: LL Bean Ascent GoreTex Pro
Tuning equipment: BEAST base file guide and Swix base prep wax

Also repaired a bent/shattered Black Diamond Expedition pole by buying spare parts -- middle shaft and freeride pole baskets. So now I have two pairs of Expedition poles.

 

[hammer]

Skis: Used Fischer Progressor 9+
Boots: Nordica Speedmachine 110
Pants: TNF Freedom Pant

Also purchased a new pair of boots for the DW...REI had some good sales last spring.

 

[thetrailboss]

Yeah, too much.

• New fatter skis for Utah and out west (two pair). Both on super clearance. One is the 2009 Head Monster 102 and the other is the 2010 Head Joe 105 Twin Tip Powder Ski. Put Tyrolia/Elan 14 Bindings on both pairs;
• I scored some great deals on Patagonia jackets/layers from last season that they were dumping before they changed to their new (ugly) color scheme including a Nano Puff Hoody from Campmor (60% off), a summer weight soft shell (60% off); a new soft shell hoody for 70% off :blink: and a nice fleece for around town at 75% off (again, :blink: )
• A new LL Bean Gore Tex Guide Jacket that is coincidentally the same as my ski brother snowmonster's jacket;
• New bib ski pants from Cabela's...AWESOME.
• Some new beanie hats from Patagonia for Apres ski;
• A new daughter;
• Oh yeah, and a Snowbird pass!

We need to get my wife new fatter skis. Looking at the S7 or some Atomic/Volkl models. Waiting for prices to drop. There are some really good deals out there with this economy. Too many good deals. And it is sick that we have Black Diamond, Level Nine, and Backcountry.com right here in town (BC has an actual store/warehouse where you can get goods...yikes!)

 

[ski stef]

hmmm..

New hat - Dakine Mia Beanie
Goggles - VZ Chakra
Skis - Atomic Elysians (lovin' them)
Poles - Scott
Boots - Lange RX90 .... my right foot was giving me a huge issue the first couple days but much better now and I love them too.
oh and like TB said - My Epic Pass! But just got a job at Keystone so I'll be getting reimbursed.

That's it....my ski pants I bought last year and the jacket I've been wearing was a pick up at an IBEX sample sale. Never thought I'd be wearing it for skiing so I'm not sure if that counts.

My Burton mittens are about 3 years old and have rips and tears and are not even warm anymore... in the market for a new pair of mitts any day I hope.

 

[bvibert]

New Kinco ski gloves to replace the one that I lost last season.

That's it for me, but we got a bunch of stuff for the kids..

 

[Glenn]

Boots.
Under Armor stuff.
A big order of handwarmers

 

[Nick]

You just got a job at Keystone? I'm hearing about it here for the first time?

What are you doing there?
