Ha, thanks mang. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you'd like to take a few laps on any of them next winter. 310 bsl for the alpine stuff, 320 for touring.

Also, since we're now doing pics (and I feel like showing the "girls" off a bit)...

191 super-stiff carbon Fat. Inserts for FKS and Plum Guide (shown). Mainly big touring days, resort non-pow days.
186 Renegade. FKS. Most resort days for me.
202 L138 R2. Inserts for Duke, might throw some FKS on there too. Best ski ever - resort pow, hate-fucking the mountain.
202 L138 R3.2. FKS. Deep pow days.

May take you up on that... that's right in my bsl wheelhouse..

I was planning on putting a medium weight touring set-up together to cover everything. Nomads, plums, and BD Primes, was the sort of set-up I was planning.

Got sucked into the whole rockered fatty thing....

Fat ypus I-rock 176 (ordered)
Marker Duke EPF (will buy when sure of BSL)
Tecnica Cochise (need to get fitted)

oh well. The next set-up can be lightweight. I'll look to use the same boots though.

In order of amount of early rise from least to most:

178 G3 Soulfly
183 Bros (the FKNA made in the USA ones)
185 Worth Humbacks, carbon response core
190 Lotus 120 pures

All with inserts or Dynadukes (G3's are Dynafit only) and

178 Dynastar 8800 with Look ZRS for the rare rocks/ spring bump day

I like the term "quiver sculpting".

Just bought the 2012 Comis for $390 and 2012 Bibbys for $350 at the Moment sale.....sold 2011 LibTech Pows for $350. Nice.

Quiver:
182cm Moment Comi with Jester demos - pow
190cm Moment Bibby Pro with Jester Pros - Baker laps inbounds
180cm Moment Ruby with Marker Barons - sidecountry
178cm LibTech NAS Freeride with Marker Jester Schizos - ice/park/wife skiing etc.

K

183 Bentchetlers w/ffg14's- for any type of soft days
185 JJ's with Jesters- Just added... never skied before and want to compare to my Bents. May or may not end up for sale pending results.
185 Spatula's with Pivot 14's- mainly for nostalgia
179 Obsethed w/ fks14's- for hard days and jibbing

Next season quiver is looking sweet

180 Volkl Explosiv Rock/Billy Goating
184 Coreupt Adrian Corrier Groomers/no new snow
185 Nordica Helldorado Daily Driver/Pow/Ski Trips
186 08-09 Moment Bibbys back in the quiver found a great deal after two years of searching Daily Driver crap snow skiing
185 Bluehouse Custom T & C skis from my ski building class with Blue House Powder and soft days.

186 CoreUpt Candide pow
189 surface one life

Both with inserts for px12s and barons

All the crap that I bought this spring. I'll ski that until next spring when I buy a whole new load of skis I didn't really need. <repeat annually>

So...what'd you get this spring Bandit man?

Blizzard Atlas Titans
Dynastar LP XXLs
190 Moment Bibby Pros
K2 Made'n AK for early season and fuck-off days

I'm also eyballing a set of 186 ON3P Viciks to slot in between the Blizzards and LPs.

Left to right-

Early/rock season then crud days / cowboy powder days and then actual powder days

We must have been separated at birth!

May give Kuro's another try

^^ You gonna get rid of anything (Megawatts?) or just add 'em?

PBR brewskis,......duh.

Just ordered 190 praxis bc, going to order 191 bg tours.....now I only need to choose between inserts or dynalooks. Suggestions?

^^ You gonna get rid of anything (Megawatts?) or just add 'em?

I doubt megawatts will ever go until they break. So easy in the deep. Just not the quickest.......

187 YLEs - Pow days
195 HOJIs - Touring
186 CODYs - Resort fun
181 MSPs - Early Season/Park

Props to anyone who makes the HOJ their QO1.

The quiver for 2013 (with one big question):

PM Gear Lhasa Pow 191 w/ Radical FT
-(almost-)everyday backcountry touring
With carbon in layup, GS sidecut and rockered tip plus semi-pintail, these are a directional ski for all kinds of three-dimensional snow. Only downside is swingweight for jump turns in tight couloirs.

Goode Carbon 84 w/ Vertical ST
-spring corn and couloirs and ski-mountaineering
lightweight is great and skis even spring porn just fine.

Volkl Bridge (2011) w/ Tour F12
Inbounds ski that can handle pow days under a foot. Can also be used in sidecountry or loaned to friends who need a touring setup yet lack tech-compatible boots.

???????? w/ Radicat FT
For having fun on all-pow, all-day kind of tours.
120mm+ waist, tip/tail rocker, wants to surf, slarve, spin and slash.
Not sure yet but looking at Praxis Wootest, Noridica Radict, Atomic Bent Chetler, Moment Ghost Chant, Fat-ypus Rocker, 4FRNT CRJ, or G3 Highball.

Uhhhh, let's see.

178 MX88 for groomer days but I don't think these will make if very far into the season. Will likely go to an SL board for the really hard stuff
187 Helix for thin snow or high rock hazard
185 Cochise for daily driving
??? Need a fatty to put the MFD's on for heli and snomobile yo-yo trips

This little quiver will likely be totally rolled over by the end of next season. My promiscuity knows no limits. If I was a chick...........

Lord Thomas

190 double helix w soly 914
191 lhasa pow w fks 14
201 stockli dp pro w soly 914
