    Skis you've skied (while we're at it...)

    States, towns, planets, on and on...

    OK, now let's see if you can name all the ski models you've owned -AND- skied on for atleast one season (I'm not going to count all the old used ones I aquired to make a fence and chairs, etc.)

    Let's make it a little easier and go with the last 10 years only...

    Me:
    K2 Extreme's (4 different pairs)
    K2 TNC Comps (4 different pairs)
    K2 TRC's
    K2 MSL's (2 pairs)
    K2 GS Race (3 pairs)
    K2 FX's
    K2 SLC's
    K2 Four's
    Blizzard (shaped something or others - had same dimensions as Dynastar 4x4 Powertrac's)
    Atomic Arc GS (the Pink Ones!)
    Rossignol 223 DH's
    Dynastar G9's
    K2 Xplorers
    Dynastar Concepts
    K2 Ak Launchers
    Salomon Pocket Rockets
    Line Dragons

    I know there is a shit-ton more I'm forgetting...

    Geez, I kept K2 in bidness for a while, didn't I?

    My list is short, for the skis used for downhill skiing:

    1988-1989: 180 Atomic ARC, Salomon 727 (still at my parent's house)
    1994-1995: 190 Atomic Telemark, Rottefella 3-pin (or something like that, skinny touring ski, also at my parent's house)
    1995-1998: 190 Tua Excalator, Rottefella Riva II (fell off the roof of my car, lost)

    The following skis are still in my quiver:

    1998-1999: 190 Dynastar S9, Rainey Superloop
    1999-2000: 190 K2 Piste Stinx, Rainey Superloop
    1999-2003: 190 K2 AK Launcher, Rainey Superloop
    2000-2005: 194 Salomon SuperMountain, Salomon S900 (DIN 6-14)
    2000-2005: 183 K2 Enemy, Salomon S900 (DIN 6-12)
    2002-2005: 186 Stockli Stormrider DP, Look P18
    2003-2005: 190 Salomon Race Stock GS ski, Salomon 916 (now on Spatulas)
    2003-2005: 190 K2 AK Launcher, same as before, now with Salomon S900 (DIN 6-14)
    2005: Spatula, Salomon 916

    Might be time for a quiver picture.

    Edit: included bindings

    Various rental skis, mostly Elan later on when I rented, but I started on straight skis too, none of which I remember.

    135cm Rossi Kids Skis(forget the model)
    163cm Volant PowerKarve TI's (the first skis I owned)
    185cm Salomon Pocket Rockets
    165cm Dynastar Omeglass 63 SL skis
    186cm Volant Spatulas
    187cm 4Frnt MSP's(haven't skiied them yet, but they're gonna be the everyday boards for next season)

    Not many, but hey, I'm 16.

    Can't remember everything. It goes something like this though:

    75' - Short plastic strap on skis (I was 3).
    76-77' - Not sure here.
    77-85' - Again, not sure. I know there were several pairs of Rossi's and at least one pair of Olan's and one pair of Elan's.
    86-87' - Dynastar Course (the chicken heart skis with the red vibration absorber on the tip 185cm).
    88-91' - K2 5500 205cm.
    This is where the quiver starts being built and I hold on to my skis.
    91' - 205 Wolf Makwai
    92' - 210 Black Diamond Valmont Tele Skis
    93' - 190 K2 Winter Heat (yes, the original foam core from the 70's) Mounted with Slveretta 400 AT bindings.
    96' - Winter Heats broke in half so replaced them with 201 Atomic ATC 3x.
    97' - 185 Rossignol Bandit XXX.
    03' - 183 K2 Enemy
    03' - 201 Stockli Stormrider DP
    04' - 185 Dynastar Inspired

    Do you realize that you've just posted an admission of ignorance so breathtaking that it disqualifies you from commenting on any political or economic threads from here on out?

    YEAH! I did rock the KVC's!!!! (and I had a pair of CV Comps in there too...)

    I STILL have the poster in my garage - Phil Mahre and Glen Plake facing each other, Phil with the white KVC's and Glen with the black TNC's and the header "Extremely Different" along the top.

    My last pair of 210 TNC's are still technically in my quiver - I still have them and the binders still work. Maybe I'll bust 'em out again early this season...

    Man, I was a sucker for the Greg Stump-era extreme thing. It was all about the neon K2's that Plake, Schmidt, Hattrup, Reichelm and Andrews were rockin' back in the day...

    backwards... (It's easier)

    Bros - Solly 914s

    Big break where all I did was demo skis (1994-2004)

    210 Kaestle 5.0 - Geze 950 (?) Racing
    210 Elan Comprex X - Same Sollys as below
    207 K2 CVComp - Geze Somethings
    205 Atomic Arc RS - Same Markers as below, then Solly Equipes
    203 Olin Mark VI GS - Marker RS Sensomatic (!)
    185 Rossi Freestyle - Tyrolia (ugh) then Solly somethings
    175 Rossi ROC Comps - Solly 222
    150 Some weird Finnish Ski with screw-on edges and cable bindings

    Wow. Not too many, but I never beat on my skis much. The CVC's, 5.0s and Comprex's were simultaneous, and I still have them. The Bros are the only ski I rode all year though.

    If ski companies didn't make new skis every year I wouldn't have to get new skis every year.

    Looks like K2 did alright with the whole "Extreme Skiing" marketing campaign, huh? So it wasn't just me with the neon planks...
