dryad Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 The last thread where there was a discussion of whether you need separate skins for each set of skis got me wondering - just how many pairs of skis do you people have? I thought I was a gear whore with 3, but maybe not. I'm a XC skier working my way up to tele, so here are my 3: 1. long skinny XC skis, waxless base 2. shorter fatter bc touring skis, waxless base. These are super-cheap ex-REI rentals and are my "rock skis" for skiing on crap. 3. Teles (the only ones that require skins) Quote
Fejas Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 I have- my old race skis my ass crunchin all around skis a set that me and my uncle share, big fatty powder skis Jib friendly/all power house big air twin tips and a set of rock skis, seriously though rock skis, i've skied on nothing but rock on them....

Fejas Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 Oh I forgot, I got an old (1970 something) pair of tele skis Quote
ClimbingH Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 3 pairs: 1. AT 2. Alpine 3. Nordic XC, those that you have to wax, and that require you to wear tight spandex outfit Quote
Dave_Schuldt Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 1 pair AT 1pair area 4 pairs XC (used waxable skis are cheep!) Quote
russ Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 1.Tua Sumo - all round tele, but better off-piste 2. BD Mira - all round AT 3. Atomic 8.20 - tele edging ski - for firm on-piste days 4. Atomic Tourcap Guide - light weight spring ski that I can't decide to mount as tele or AT Quote

Jens Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 I wish I had more. ------ I think everyone should own a huge pair of DH boards for haulin' -- even if they only get used about once a year. PS: Isn't the ski speed record from muir to paradise like seven minutes or something? An RMI guide told me the story a long time ago but I forgot the details. Quote
Beck Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 ...fourteen pair! But I use about a half dozen-seven of them mostly, and the BC tele boards most of all 4 main sets of tele boards... inbounds, backcountry touring, powder fat boys and one set rock skis. one set BC metal edge waxless. one set xc touring waxable, one set wood xc skis. No randonee setups yet but am considering it and then i've got a bunch of project boards and old straight downhill boards and some old skis best left to kindling, but it adds up to over a dozen boards. I still need that next pair though.... Quote
adventuregal Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 -2 pair classical cross country skis (waxable) -6 pair skate cross country skis -New pair of AT skis! in other words... too many!!! Quote
rr666 Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 I just have 2, one for my left foot, and one for my right foot. I want to get a fatter pair for hitting all o the powder we are going to get this year. But I am sure that I am just going to suffer and stick with what I have because it works and skis are spendy .
