If you lost your whole quiver, what would you miss most?

If you lost it all, what would you miss the most, what would you replace it with?

....my Nordica WC lace-up, all leather liners, they transfer into so many boots.....another pair.....

Two years ago, I would have said my stash of Solly 916's and STH16 steel bindings. But I've been pretty happy with a couple of pairs of STH2 16's, so I wouldn't search for steel. I'd replace them all with STH2 16's.

My favorite piece of equipment, by far, is my boot set-up. Particularly the BD foam liners. I'd have another pair foamed in a minute. My boot fitter works with every liner out there, skis in BD's himself {he's a former French team guy}, and he convinced me that they would be PERFECT for me. He was right.

Wouldn't be too hung up on skis, as there are so many good skis out there. I would buy another pair of 180cm Head i.speeds for my cheater category, and new or newly leftover would be fine. I've spent a lot of days on many in that category, and I wouldn't change, though others would work. And in the hard to replace category, though they get limited use, a 196cm first generation Bodacious search would happen. Love that ski, in the right place, right day. I could probably be very happy with a newer generation 193cm, though. I may actually end up with both. But if my roof box ripped off the roof and was run over by a couple of semi's, I'd be looking for some 196cm's.

I'd have to do some testing to come up with the best choice in a sub 90mm ski, and roughly a 100mm. Right now it's a 184cm Monster 88, and a 187cm 2015 Bonafide. So many skis in those size slots........and good ones.

I also have a pair of older 184cm Stocki Stormrider XL's, that are now the early season and late season rockers. They still ski pretty darn well, and they have a lot of soul. I'll miss them when they give out.

I'd really be bummed about losing the three pairs of low mileage retro 70s skis. Everything else in the quiver I would really enjoy spending insurance money to shop for replacements. My favorite go to skis are starting to feel floppy and worn out. Insurance deductible isn't high for us but would be pissed to lose the retro stuff that can't be replaced or upgraded easily.

Take my boots please. I would not miss them at all. New ones coming this fall. Asf ar as skis....I would miss my Rossi Hero ST Carbons. They would be replaced with the new version. Like them just as well. My Temptation 88's.....Lots of stuff out there actually better than those, so not sure what I'd replace them with. Thinking about giving my Attraxion 12's to a teen skiing program, so won't really miss them at all. Please don't take my Avalanche ski jacket. I would not be able to survive Tremblant without it!

My poles. Because they were my dad's and when he passed away I started using them so we could still ski together.

Skis - I only have the one pair and don't love them, so it would be more of an opportunity than a tragedy.

If you lost it all, what would you miss the most, what would you replace it with?

Do you know what you are saying?!

 

[Tricia]

If you'd asked me this question a year ago, I'd have said Nordica Santa Ana, ....no - Wait! I'd have said Head Super Joys, .......no - Wait! I'd have said ..... Sambas...no - Wait!

Actually, with the testing we do and the amazing skis that are coming out all the time, I have a lot of current favorites but I also have a lot of appreciation for the new stuff that comes next.

I would miss my boots and heated boot bag the most of all, but when I think of Quiver, I think skis.

Losing my harts would give me much hartache, hartburn and leave me very downharted, even brokenharted. I'd probably try to get one of the modern K2 244s in a 153 to replace them, but it wouldn't be the same, because I wouldn't be able to make any puns talking about them.

And I can't even imagine what I could replace the K2 710s with.

 

[Mike Thomas]

As long as I didn't lose my memories, I'd be fine. Stuff is easily replaced. If i had to protect one ski item, it would probably be my modern Kastle SG ski, one of only 8 ever made. they are kinda cool... but I wouldn't be lost without them.

 

[Josh Matta]

miss the most?

Dalbello Kr2 or Nordica E93 I would make no change in replacing either.

 

[markojp]

Boots and footbeds. Have them replace with the same.

That requires a photo.

 

[Doug Briggs]

I'd miss my Fischer RC4 Pro 130 boots. I'd get another pair.

As has been pointed out, skis are pretty easy to come by in a model that suits your needs. If I had to choose a single ski, it'd be the Fischer Ranger 98. Sweet ski.

 

[Rod9301]

My metal volkl katanas, not made anymore.

 

[fatbob]

Nuffink really - everything ski wise is replaceable by an identical model or an improved something. Only real pain would be the retail cost of replacement binders. Boots would be a bit of hassle to get blown and footbeds but not insurmountable.

 

[Uncle-A]

Not counting my vintage skis and not my end of year purchase that I have not skied yet, just my more current skis I would miss my 168 CM Kastle skis.

 

[Brad J]

My MX 88"s would buy another pair ASAP

 

[Nancy Hummel]

My 2011-12 Nordica Nemesis. Love those skis. Found a pair in the wrapper last year at an outlet store. There are plenty of other great skis but these just have a great feel.

Arrieta 578 16 bore - feared by Huns far and wide
