The "I need to brag about a gear purchase" thread

[firebanex]

I know I already posted about each of these items.. but I got the Shifts mounted tonight and put everything in one photo! I'm in love with the look of these skis and kinda want to get another pair just cause. Pardon the light.. it's dark outside.

Now...what bindings?

I’d go with that narrow frontside Marker that also runs GripWalk; this way you can ski em hard or run as ‘fun’ shorties in coaches boots.

Now...what bindings?

I will be working on this within the next few weeks.

Have you sorted whether you will stay with that lifter, or find another? That would be a co-factor in binding choice.

 

[QueueCT]

Now just waiting for plate and bindings to come in ... though you'd think they'd throw in some complimentary straps with these

Just picked up a new in the wrapper 2018 185CM Nordica Enforcer 100 for $499 including shipping and tax. Mounting Pivot 18 on 'em, which I already own.

Not anything exciting but for sloppy parking lots these will be better than sneakers. Redhead Cruiser II on sale at Cabelas.

Picked this up today at the Chelsea Repfest:

Do I look like jet fighter pilot?? 1/2 price, but only one lenses....Head Queen helmet.

Hit the Pico ski swap without any plans to buy anything. Came away with a pair Volkl Aura’s in my wife’s 163cm size for $225 and a pair of Stockli Laser SC in 177cm for $180 that I can’t wait to get into the moguls.

I don’t think your ‘advisor’ was thinking bumps for those sweet boards!

...a pair of Stockli Laser SC in 177cm for $180...

Now THAT is a deal worth bragging about.

All skis on my feet find their way into the moguls. These may be a challenge or my new favorite bumpers. Really nabbed these so I have a fighting chance of beating the wife during the weekly ski bum races.

 

[KingGrump]

Nice find on the SC.

The SC is really sweet in the bumps.

 

[cantunamunch]

Which year SC?

 

[Guy in Shorts]

Which year SC?

They look like a 2014. Bases are as good as on any of my current boards.

Not yet. I've been too busy with family/work stuff since the skis arrived.
I sent my ski shop guy a pic and he thinks they are super cool. He is excited to have a look at them; at that point we will assess and make a decision. That probably won't happen for another week or so.

So, Santa Fed-ex just stopped by and gave me these bad boys.

Those might fit @Philpug, though they may be a bit too big.
