Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Is a quiver of skis normal, globally?

Poster: A snowHead
Hello, my name is Tricia. I have a ski ownership problem.
I need help. Everytime I see something new in a line of skis, I have to try it, and often have to own it.

Is this a global thing or am I just wierd?Embarassed

On the other hand, I can't stand shopping for clothes, shoes, jewelry or other girly stuff. Very Happy

Well, I'm feeling like I'm in good company now.
I must say Epic seems to have more people boasting about their massive quivers, including my somewhat famous Chicks with Quivers thread.
But I haven't posted a recent picture of my skis in some time.

Epic is a little different to us lot.
I think the ski forums are like a bunch of people watching a ski movie in an apres-ski bar.

Snowheads stand around talking about this and that with half an eye on the movie. Topics include the day in general, weather, other places we have skied. Rather a lot of laughing and other people in the bar are getting a bit annoyed at the noise from the snowheads corner of the room. Half of them didn't notice the skier fall, the half that did winced and said "ouch".

Epic gang are earnestly watching the screen discussing whether the skiers fall was due to a knee angle which itself is indicative of an alignment problem or a consequence of a ski that is 5cm too short for him.

The TGR crowd are hooting and hollering and cheering every face-shot, they go mad when the skier takes a fall when hucking the cliff. "FKNA MAN!!!" is the cry. The Epic crowd look askance at them, a mixture of horror and fear and these unwashed rowdy types.

SnowHot, the point is, do you count rock hoppers too? For instance I have Fischer WC SCs for everyday wear; Zag Le Rouge for those off pisty days; a pair of first generation snowblades in case I get called to do a snowblade lesson; a pair of mini-skis (139) but also a pair of Volkl P50s for rock hoppers and a new (thanks Snowskisnow) pair of Wedzes in 129. So which ones count???? do I count as they're my professional tools????

rungsp, Brilliant analysis. Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

ssh, yea, yea, the one ski quiver. I own, the "one ski quiver" and many more Very Happy

Now, I remember you talking about adding a super fat to your quiver at the end of the year. I got the Teledaddy(99mm) waist.
You said you may be getting a race ski instead, though, because you had so much fun at the race clinic late in the spring. when will you add to that one ski quiver? C'mon you have it in you, I know you do.

SnowHot, Ah yes - but it's not as though I buy them on a whim or for fun is it? My snowblades are at least 10 years old, my volkl rock hoppers merely the old ones pre fischers ..... For many years I only had one pair - taught everything on them and skied them until they had no more resistance and then bought another pair .... I get AT LEAST 60 WEEKS use out of each pair of skis ....

easiski, it goes like this.
I have some skis in my quiver that are used only occasionally, but I've had them for a while and just can't let them go because they're "fun"!
Here is my current quiver. Not much over lap but a few are for sale

I don't really get the broad quiver thing. I don't like to stop skiing to change skis, and so any ski that I have is going to work well in all the conditions I'm likely to encounter in a day. I may add another pair this year with a longer radius, but I don't really get the big quivers some folks have.

But, that's me. I don't have the money for it, either, and prefer new skis to used ones, so I tend not to go hunting on eBay, etc.

SMALLZOOKEEPER, Oh no! not as pretty as it's inspiration - original is always best! Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

SnowHot, that's 10 pairs of skis - totally out of order I'm afraid!!! Wish I could afford that many, more to the point, wish I had somewhere to store them! 3 pairs in the ski locker. short ones under my bed! My oldest pair go back to the UK for those mad occasions when I go and ski on plastic!!! The Volkls will be going there next spring. My old Cyberspace have been "poubelled" at last (not the bindings though). They, bless them, lasted 4 seasons (approx 30-32 weeks per year) and died very seriously, but still slid!!! Laughing Laughing

All Pairs with Snowheads stickers of course - hope you all do likewise!!!!!

easiski, Well, as usual, there is a story behind how I ended up with all those skis.

The Metrons, and the 724 Motions, were both purchased as my main ski 2 years apart. The little black Porsche P50 was bought because a bargain of a lifetime came up.(I think I just sold those).
The Platinum P50 was a dream of my husbands that he bought for himself and didn't like, so I assumed ownership because I really enjoyed them.
The Volkl Gamma 724 AX3 I bought for $49.99 USD( I could not resist the bargain, and figured they were worth that for the binding alone)
The "the ski" Between the teledaddy and the karma, That purchase was a once in a life time opportunity and a bump specific ski. I can't wait to try them out.
The Teledaddy was a Sierra Trading post deal for $159.99 USD(again, who could pass it up?)
The karma is a given, as every chick needs a twin tip to show the boys what snow spray is all about when she is passing them.
The Burnin Luv is a ski I bought because I told Wear the Fox Hat that IF he demoed girls skis I'd buy them. I've never skied them, and he will be in big trouble if I don't like them

I think the teledaddy's may be up for sale mid season, the p50's, and gamma AX3 are all for sale now.

SnowHot, someone else will say it eventually........the boot on the left, which is in fact your right hand (leg) boot, is trailing the boot on the right - which is in fact your left hand (leg) boot. Thus you may need to consider:

a) Remedial surgery to your leg

b) Footbeds

c) New Boots!

comprex, Boot sole on the Dalbellos(289ish). I will be bringing the Luvs and Metrons(according to Phil!) I would love to bring the Karmas also, but I really can only fly with two sets of skis.

Both of the skis I am bringing are system bindings, thus can easily be changed for sole length, and as always I'd love to play Swap. Very Happy
