Hey all..as we head into summer and keep trudging slong toward another ski season..I thought I'd start a quiver thread...

What kind of Skis, boots, borard do you ride/have? What kind of boots do you rock??

What about jacket, pants, gloves, hat/helmet, goggles..and other gear....

What new gear do you want for 08-09..

Here are my answers to get the ball rolling..


My Skis..Rossi Scratch Sprayer BC 06-07..182cm..88 in the waist..a little bit of life left after a good stonegrind..Elan S12's 04-05..176cm..112-67-100..awesome ice coast carver..heavy and stiff..my 2nd pair of the same skis..Atomic LT11s 05-06..170cm rock skis..the marquee route was not kind to the LTs..19..195 Saloman X-screams..fast..straight..and fast..they used to seem fat..now they seem skinny..they'll be good in a ski chair someday...195 Rossi Vipers..circa late 90s..skinny mo-fos..which are going toward a ski chair one day..

What I want for 08-09..100mm+ underfoot for out west and the rare Ice-Coast powder day and busting the crud..maybe some Gotomas..for some goose stomping....70-something underfoot stiff ice coast carvers 175-190cm..lots of sidecut...

My Boots..this past season I used a recreational model Atomic boot which I only paid 2 bills for. It didn't hurt my skiing and was way more comfortable than my old langes but I crave something different..I want to try the Full Tilt boot in the fall.

Other gear..all my gear is pretty mucn beat except my helmet..I want a new pair of steezy blue goggles preferably another pair of Oakley A-Frames for bright conditions..and another pair of amber or rose lenses for plat light...New gloves are also on my list and some sort of waterfproof gortex shell pants for rainy..wet conditions. My Ride Snowboard pants are great and have great pockets by the knees but can't hang if it's wet out. I also want another steeze jacket..maybe from the Nestors late summer sale. Jackets are one thing that is tough for me buy online..

Only 6 more months till ski season..Holla

Boards:
2006 Burton Custom 156 - My all arounder.
2006 Burton Dominant 154 - Park (but it is for sale).
2003 M3 Cap - Has a nice chunk missing out of the base. Have it in case I get the Urban urge.
Mid 90s Marrow 148 - My first board that was donated to me. Can't bring myself to get rid of it.

Bindings:
2006 Burton Customs - They float between my Custom and my Dominant.
2003 Burton Synchros - They hang out on my M3

Boots:
2005 32 Team Twos
2002 Northwave boots - basically retired these, but pull them out to go sledding and such.

Other Gear:
Boire Helmet flat black, model unknown.
Protec Ass pads
IS Designs Goggles
Ripzone Outerwear
Marmot Leather Ice Climbing gloves.

Planned Purchases:
New outerwear, preferably a jacket/pant combo that zips together (sick of getting pow up my back).
New Helmet, not sure what yet, but something that actually looks decent (my helmet is slightly gaperish).
Avy Gear.
If I can afford it new bindings, and probably new boots mid-late season. Not sure how much life mine have left.

Skis..
06-07 NinthWard FirstBlood- 180cm 122 tip 91 waist 116 tail Bought end of last season for use in 08-09 not mounted yet.. (planning on markers... surprised??)

06-07 K2 Public Enemy- 179cm 118 tip 85 waist 109 tail mounted with marker 1200's
These skis just F'N rule... Rooster tail specials..

06-07 Icelantic Scouts - 143cm 140 tip 105 waist 130 tail mounted with marker 1300's
These were seriously fun to use at one time, but they just seem dangerous at any speed whatsoever nowadays.
I made a few kamikaze runs on them last season.

Winter Park.

I'm thinking about Crested Butte, Jackson and Telluride for the following year.

Out of those three places...Jackson Hole averages the most annual snowfall by far.

If snowfall were the only factor I would be looking at the PNW, by far.

Yeah but the PNW doesn't get the cold smoke that the Rockies get..

And that would be a better reason to go to Utah rather than Wyoming.

My new Nordica Blowers just arrived..they are some steezy fat skis...their dimensions are 139-110-129 in a length of 193 with a turned up tail..mad steezy yo...

I take it those are for your jackson trip and out west...


STOKE for ya!!

They're for whenever..I'm definitely going to use them a bunch at Blue..to plow through the sugar piles....they have a 29m turning radius but I hardly turn anyway..the only thing they will suck for is the bumps...Now I just need to get another pair of ice-coast carvers..something about 175-180cm in length and about 70-something underfoot and my ski quiver is set for 08-09...Best of all is that I also received a coupon from Backcountry.com for 15% off any single item between now and July 31st..and they offer free shipping on anything over $50...sa weet ness..

Remember that coupon is good for SAC as well...

SAWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!

Those things are going to be killer... although not too fond of the hot pink on there...(193's were blk and pink with spark plug on them if I am remembering correctly...)

Fo Shizzle..I'm secure enough with myself to rock Pink skeeze..lol

I reserved a pair of Griffon's to get mounted on my firstbloods...

Still debating it though if I should have bought the Seth's or Bridge's when I had the chance....
But I saved a shitload on the Firstbloods and just couldn't pass the deal up.. $1/cm. ain't too shabby

Well if you don't like the Firstbloods..you can probably sell them for as much as you paid for them. Noxidee likes his..Seth Pistols are sweet..my buddy Tom who lives in Montana skis on them..

Every review I've seen on them say they are great skis.... they just have a crappy topsheet that chips easily..

Sounds to me that they'll be just like my PE's.... pretty standard for anything sidewall construction to have a really chippy topsheet that looks
like it's been through a war after about 5 trips out. I don't care what the tops look like as far as chips and shit... I care about the bases and
how they react to the pocono crud, ice, funk...
They're a little wider than my PE's so that can't hurt.. I just think I would've appreciated the extra length of the Seth's (9cm)

Also, just got a:

Arbor Draft
Union Forces

doug, i have a 50% off BCoutlet code if you want it. you shoudlve gotten one too though.
