Your One Ski Quiver (if you had to limit yourself to one pair of skis)

[crgildart]

If you could only ski one ski in one length for the rest of your entire life what type of ski and length would you choose? Yes, you can replace the ski after it wears out or gets damaged but you have to replace it with the exact same ski and length.

I'd go with a mid 80s width 179 cm twin with a radius of around 18m.

 

[BS Slarver]

95's are MONEY to me ! Ideally around a 17m radius
Suffering from severe quiver overlap in the catagory at present !

 

[Cheizz]

Hm.... 90 mm ski in a 180-183 length. Something like Völkl Kendo or Blizzard Brahma CA

I plan on demoing the Legend 88s this upcoming season as a replacement for Cham 87s.... Eternal optimist that I am, I will choose the Legend 88s as my "forever ski" in the biggest-est length they come in.

Considering my Nordica Enforcer 100 in 185cm was the only ski I had all last season, I'll go with that. Even skiing mostly in Michigan, that thing did the trick for me every day and have never been on a ski I've liked more.
100-105 at the waist. Tip rocker. Metal. Length 180-185

I only ever had a one ski quiver! I have been pretty happy with the Dynastar Cham 97. They have great side cut and like to carve. Wide shovel that likes to float. Great all mountain ski. My wife and I each won a pair at a silent auction at a ski show for $250 and $270 respectively. It was an accidental get but a good one.

One I would like to try is the Rossignol Experience 100.

However, this year I will be a quiver of two kind of guy!

First gen Head Monster 86, made 1cm wider everywhere with the slightest hint of tip rocker.

OK how bout this @Philpug ... You're flying to Europe to ski 6 different resorts over the course of a month and you can only bring one pair of skis.. What would you take?

 

[mikel]

Renoun Endurance 98 in a 178

 

[David Chaus]

Fischer Motive 95 in 180.

Or Renoun Z90 in 174.

 

[ADKmel]

still waiting on their arrival but hoping the REnoun Z90's are 'it" although most of my life I've been on something less than 75under foot. (east coast ice cruiser)

 

[Chris Walker]

My racing career* would get interesting. Hmm, slalom on 216s or DH on 165s....


*such as it is.

 

[SallyCat]

Volkl RTM 84 177 all day long.

 

[coskigirl]

Head Great Joy in a 163.

You mean a Soul Rider 87?

 

[markojp]

Probably my current Monster 88 (16-17).

 

[surfsnowgirl]

Possibly my Volkl Kenjas 163cm soon to be 170 but more likely my Meier Wild Bills in a 170

I actually left brand and model names off for a reason. I wouldn't expect Phil or Tricia or any forum staff to profess any brand favoritism in any threads or posts.. lest we upset a sponsor.. The SR would be one to consider for sure. I do prefer twins, but not for practical reasons.. to spray my kids with more than for riding switch these days Not really doing that much at all anymore. .

 

[crgildart]

Probably my current Monster 88 (16-17).

What length?
