    No...Craig skis the 180 King Salmon.

    Do a search on Biglines for a vid showing the Super Salmon from the SIA show.

    through the years...

    Let's see here

    Rossi 150 Rental Skis - the kind where the DIN sole is shorter than the boot length
    Dynastar Corniche 180
    Rossi DV6 178
    K2 SLC 195 - enormous core shot at Killington first day out; I cared then
    Rossi 7SK 193
    Rossi 7XK 203
    Rossi SuperCut 9.9 191 with EPB Floaters
    Rossi 9S 198- broke 3 pair - warranty claim on all - Dualtec sucks
    Rossi 9X 9.3 191 with Derby's plus Salomon lifters (anyone else remember the short while when GS skis were shorter than slalom skis? Spun first 3 on these heavy ass pups in 98
    Salomon XScream 195 same bindings from 9x's
    Salomon Teneighty 181 same bindings from 9X's- four pairs on warranty - balls deep in Salomon
    Rossi B3 same bindings from 9x's- worst ski ever - ChChChatteriffic
    K2 Apache Cheif 181 for a short interim
    Volkl Karma 185 with same S900 bindings from old 9X's - 2 pair on warranty this past year - I am a changed man - 1 ski for everyday in CO - custom tailored for Abasin

    Coming next year - Mantras, Iggies, or Gotamas - something stiff and fat with little sidecut

    Conclusion -

    Rossis suck. Boring, whitebread skis. YAWN Why did I waste so much of my precious youth on this shitty brand

    Salomon's are a sweet ski to break through a barrier but suck once on the other side. K2's are sweet but break.

    Markers suck - how many times can I say this?

    Volkl rocks.

    Salomon Green Spring binders last 10 fucken years, easy - have like 500 days and 9 pairs of skis on one very brave pair, although one walked out at DIN 13 in the Snowmass Freeride Championships this year on a 25 footer landing in junk ass rotted snow - asking too much maybe? Still torque test dead on balls though
    Slicker than Denny Baker's cat.

    -198 Salomon 2S - first pair of skis ever, combined with Rossi top of the line women's race boots (Course X?) - what the hell were the salespeople thinking, did they not know at one glance by how I stood in those boots that I didn't have a clue?! Bastards. I got by on those skis for the first two years.
    -185 Salomon XScream Series - this time it was the Salomon rep's bad advice, and he'd even seen me ski. Bastard. I've been meaning to talk to him about that....
    -Second pair of 185 Salomon XScream Series - bought in Chamonix, only myself to blame! Biaatch.
    -Salomon 165 Pocket Rockets - great ski for where I was at the time
    -Salomon 160 XMax 10 - bought as alt ski for boilerplate days, was kinda fun
    ...and now I am down to:
    -Second pair of 165 Pocket Rockets - almost never ski them, though
    -Salomon 165 Xtra Hot - fantastic ski for a girl like me

    Also this year I skied 160 K2 Phat Love (good, not great) and 155 Rossi S9 Oversize slalom skis (skied 'em when the top was closed at Mammoth but then 23 opened and we didn't bother changing skis...they were actually pretty fun skiing a couple of inches of new in wipe out and drop out chutes).

    I've had the Xtra Hots for 2 years, damn, I'm due!
    I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.

    This seems like a fun exercise. I am going with the current to old order:

    193 Sanouk
    190 Explosive 3
    180 Nordica something (Tele-still have)
    183 Rossi Easy Rider (current Rando)
    190 Gotama (Sold)
    190 Explosiv 3 (sidewalls trashed)
    190 Explosiv 3 (bent)
    190 Dynastar BIG (broke)
    200 Snowranger (everyday, then Rando, still have unmounted today)
    200 Snowranger (broke)
    207 P10 (still have)
    223 Head womans downhills (gave away)
    ---ok, that was 1997 forward (all tahoe skis)
    ---Now, early in the CO days.
    200 Rossi Black Widows (tele - still have)
    207 Elan GS (lost in powder)
    203 Volkl Slalom, of some sort (broke)
    203 K2 KVC (just trashed and retired)
    203 Dynastar ID 8.1 (some weird cap skis) (trashed and retired)
    203 Dynastar ID 8.1 (some weird cap skis) (broke)
    200 Dynastar Verticals (broke)
    200 Dynastar Verticals (broke)
    160 Head something in Jr High.

    I ended up adding the history of what happened to each, for my own record.

    yo, my list is short, cus i'm young, and have a poor and lazy memory

    way back in the day i rocked the dynies, the old black background race skis, with different colored (i remember blue and green) foregrounds to show whether the were slalom or gs or whatnot, (circa 91?)
    then it was on to good old poorly made rossis, which i am proud to say, i learned to huck cliffs on the rossis 9xs and 9s's, and i am even prouded to say, i broke pair after pair of thier "race" bindings as a 14 year old.
    Then it was onto salomon x screams,
    Rossie scratches, 170
    salomon scream xtra hots 175 (should have been 185)
    salomon xtra hots 185
    armada city scapes hmm, not mine, just hijjaked from my shop for the season, maybe 176ish
    and now its onto
    salomon ak rockets,
    rocket swallows
    gotamas,
    and probably some armadas or lines for park

    wishing I had longer skis
