Have you started your 2020 Ski Gear Purchases yet?

[Philpug]

With respect to Sportstube - is it really the case that it only takes skis up to 183cm? Are there any other hard cases out there that carry 3 pairs of skis? (Or, generally, good 3-ski options).

Not really. Even though some of these will be marketed as a 3 pair hard case, youcannot fit three with bindings and even if you did, each pair will be about 15-18 lb, the case is about 17 lb, so you are well over the 50lb weight limit that airlines allow.

Selling some stuff this year, but not buying anything. Heresy? I blame the fact that I haven't seen @Ron all summer to infect me with new ideas.

He's the viral vector

They will fit longer than 183cm skis though. My Sporttube fits my 184cm skis with several holes to spare for longer skis. (Of course, not all 184cm skis are actually the same length.)

Sportube cases can extend to fit skis that are over 200cm. You are correct about the three series only being able to fit up to 183cm

Scored a deal on some Hestra Army leather expedition mittens, which i hope will finally keep my hands warm in January.

 

[Bill Talbot]

Yes! 2020 season means great buys on 2019 gear

I picked up a pair of Rossi E88HD's and paired them up (from shop inventory) with LOOK PX15 Racing bindings. Naturally did a tune/wax on the skis...

 

[Tytlynz64]

Gorilla tape from Home Depot. 20% off coupon. Ready for the snow.

 

[Hawk45]

I have been eyeing a second set of skis, but my still beginner self with only about 10 times on my existing is really fighting to keep away from deal-itus. I did already purchase my local hills 2019-2020 season pass. 85 degrees and rain today, so will be some time before it gets use.

 

[Ogg]

I received my Kulkea today and I have to say this thing is absolutely huge. I know they say it's for one pair of skis but I pretty easily test fit two pairs with plenty of room left for other gear and my helmet fits in multiple places with room to spare. It even got a proper inspection.

Dalbello Panterra 120s in lime green. The cabriolet boot is easy to put on and take off.

They are GREEN. On the good side if I ever end up head first in a snowbank ski patrol will be able to find me.

Those look like water skis.

 

[Viking9]

Two small ones:
Look SPX 12’s 90 wide and a Hey Look At My Brand New Bright Red Rossignol,ofcourse, boot bag.
Now for the big one , I bought my new Experience 84’s in the longest length 184 and there isn’t a turn I can’t make on them ,,,,,,before 1:00 pm, but after that I’m lazy and tired and I start losing the front end sooooo you guessed it I’m going to get the 176 and of course hide my purchase through a friend,,,,,I’m not stupid.
Good thing my wife doesn’t know how to get on Pugski.
I’m sooooo smart.

Those look like water skis.

Basically are!

There's a video of Sean Pettit or Seth Morrison water skiing on k2 Pettitors 120 or that fatter predecessor, can't recall the name. They do great.

 

[Willyum215]

The wife and settled on a small cottage one mile from Elk, PA in mid-July with an excellent view of the mountain. Season pass purchase coming soon.

What the hell have we done?!?!

 

[shaneynice]

I'm 6'1 190 and choosing between the 180 & 187 in the same ski... any thoughts? Can't find any reviews of the 82 yet.
