The Quiver Pic Rerun Thread

[skieast]

Somebody likes Volkl.

SkiEast - How do you find your Explosivs complementing your Gotamas? Do they do things differently, or are they pretty similar?

Honestly I mostly use the 188 G4's, if theres any powder at all the Gotamas get the call. I found the explosivs a bit much one the various icy w/b runouts, once I tried the Gotamas I couldn't go back.

As far as differences I'm not technical enough to really articulate them. I do a lot of steep tree skiing and the explosivs weren't ideal there (big understatement).

Holy Shit! At first glance, it looks like you have a big snowlerblade collection and one pair of real skis.

Oh my God. I would have given my left nut for those back in the day.

[house]

ok, i finally decided to post this. didnt want to make yall jealous, but i give you, my quiver:

[skier666]

Oh my God. I would have given my left nut for those back in the day.

Ha....great ski indeed. They turn like a dream for being so long Even took them out earlier this year. Back in the day, I snapped one pair in half, and found a RD rep trying to get rid a pair of 222 and 217. $400. Mounted the 217 pair for my dad, who is 6-7', and he skied the groomers on them for years.

We still have that mint pair of the 217 cm version that my dad used to cruise Heavenly...they have the old Salomon greenish-yellow riser plate mounted for 12ish size boot. PM me if need be.
