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 :-)

Wot no 12/13 quiver stoke thread?

I had a look for a quiver thread for this season, albeit not a very thorough look. I drew a blank, which just can't be right, so herewith, my quiver:



(The Preachers will be for sale, once I've plugged the holes in them ...)

More quiver stoke, please, as I have another 26 days to kill before I get on snow again.

This season I shall be selecting from these skis. The other ones will just have to lurk, unloved, at the back of the shed, cupboard, cave, etc.

2012/13 quiver at snowHeads Towers
This is the 12/13 quiver for the Chief Smiley Maker and me. Being simple souls we're just sticking to one pair each on piste and a another for off piste.
The Redeemers are set aside as a prize for the EoSB raffle and the Preachers are on their way to Master of the Hamsters, Windymiller

Quite a lot of the skis in these pictures don't have bindings.

I'm guessing you've got to be pretty darn good to ski on skis without bindings ?

Way beyond me obviously.

Well, I can't speak for BenAS but on my part, as I said, the Redeemers are to be given away at the EoSB and the Preachers haven't reached their owner yet.
U can bet they'll be well and truly mounted by the time they get to the PreBBWUW though.

The Preachers in my quiver used to have Dynaduke plates on them, but I've moved them to the DPS Wailer 99. Love the Preachers but not sure I will use them now that I've opted for a lighter touring setup.

From left to right. Last years 190 Redeemers w/Guardians, 190 Redeemer CarbonLites w/Radical ST, 185 Black Crows Corvus w/Radical STs and my old faithful 180 BD Verdicts w/Vertical FTs.

meh, are the Corvus and the Verdicts not v. similar dimensions? Curious as to why you would want both. Or do they ski more differently than the dimensions would suggest?

The Verdicts are ooooold and beat to crap, the bases are riddled with my 'awesome' repair work! The Corvus is the sleek new replacement and yeah they are very similar cause I love the Verdicts as an everyday ski. The Verdicts will live on as rock skis though.

Never skied any of the other BDs, but demoed a load of similar skis at the time (Movement, G3, K2), nothing came close to the Verdict.

Left to right:

170 Atomic SX11 (barely get used)
176 Big Trouble (need to decide how to remount, will be used as rock skis/early season touring - damn good skis)
185 Nordica Soul Rider (everyday/piste/hangover/cruising with friends and fam/touring [for now])
190 Moment Bibby Pro (most days where offpiste is the main goal)
