Thread: What are your favorite topsheets?

The Igneous Pinhead graphic of course! Tierney and I created it using lycos images one late night at the factory, heh.



but I still love this Corvid graphic:

K2 occasionally puts out a nice one like the Iron Maiden, and I liked their PNW Indian designs on their bc line a few years back.

Holy shit, Joe might be my pick for the customs Parris have been tinkering with for me. Most awesome graphics ever!

Norsk.

Good call on the Olins of the past. My first pair of skis were Mark IVs. When I saw Bond's "For Your Eyes Only" and he was rocking Olins I thought I was the coolest kid in school.
Definitely like the Line Prophets too, and last year's Icelantic lineup was my favorite yet.

All time have be my Folsoms, but it's not really fair since they're customs...

Gambits:


Will get a pic of my Givers up soon...

Pictures don't really do it justice

nordica w9.1ff - plain red-orange with easy-to miss NORDICA text near tip. mine have been mistaken for home-made more than once

K2 sploders - deep purple with turquoise K2 motif...IMO volkl never put a nicer looking topsheet on their own ski!

lhasa pow pale green - they look awesome with purple equipes!

oooh! a mint pair ... and for under $200!

yep those.

after leaving my pair in the closet for better part of 2 previous season, mine went into high rotation to tackle the mid-winter hardpack...got 'em tuned and i fell in love with 'em all over again, and skiied 'em right through the spring. and yes, i found those topsheets very pleasing to the eye (with complementary-coloed neon yellow equipes)

if they were mirror-imaged, they'd be perfect!


gotta say, i really like the 09/10 EHPs ... but i don't own a pair

Seconded. I get so many comments on the lift for my howitzers (second from the right, although last years was a dark wood with lighter tiger)

I also like the 07 elizabeth and the 09 ep pro, but the embeds aren't working for those pictures. Then of course pillowfights. YLEs and Renegades are sweet as well.

I'm really liking the look of next season's Bibby Pros...

my topsheet holds three shots!!!Attachment 117976[/QUOTE]

I liked the look of black gotamas for skis too. Simple is good...

I've always been a fan of the more natural artistic style of Line/Pollard..



and

Igneous bookmatched wood grain topsheets always make me droooooool.

I lovvve the new 2013 Armada T-Hall skis. One of the freshest out there this year. Straight platinum just the way Tanner rolls

2009 k2 hellbent

Killer EYE!


Sent from my Parrott using TGR mobile technologies.

love my p4s

The 10/11 s7's, lots of people hated it but loved the art work.

While I'm not a huge fan of the SkiLogic topsheets, I AM waiting on a pair of 12/13 Billy Goats with the red gum veneer topsheets to arrive at my door so I have to agree on the appeal of wood topsheets. I will post pics when they show up, but the sneak peeks I got were freakin drool-inducing.

I prefer a neon topsheet, when it's blowing sideways, the visibility is godawful, and the terrain is sketchy (or dodgy). When it's over waist-deep I crank my bindings up to the max, because I don't want to lose another ski. I refuse to put on powder cords, because they don't stay attached... Plus, I lose them all the time.

The worst topsheet colors are:

1. White
2. Black
3. Gray
4. Green (not Neon Green)
5. Wood veneer


I wish Volkl should bring back the Explosiv

Kinda self centered but check the veneer jobs at Substanceskis.com. Not a large production ski at this point but beautiful tops nonetheless.
