Found this from last year:
http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?p=2172073&highlight=quiver#2172073
I'm away from my new set of skis at the moment and won't see them until early Dec when I return to the UK.
So I fancy admiring/perving at everybody else's. I know it's a bit of w*lly waving but it would be good to see how other SHs are kitted out. Can't wait for the season and the 35 degree heat where I am isn't really getting me in the mood!
So let's be having you, lets see what you've got!

Liberty LTEs for pretending that I'm a gnarly park skier
Liberty Genomes (141 underfoot) for pretending I'm a rad off piste freerider
Movement scoops (102 underfoot) for when I'm not sure what to pretend.
I'm currently listening to offers on the Genomes, as I'm not doing a season this year, and they're a bit of an extravagance for a regular punter.

Movement Le Fer:- 177cm/124-77-108/15.5m radius. Very lightweight piste carvery type of ski. I'm impressed with it so far
PM Gear Lhasa Pow:- 191cm/140-112-120/39m radius. Again light for it's size and, once you get used to it, it's a pussycat.

Same as last 4 winters. Ain't I a good boy?
(OK so I bought a cheap snowboard when I was ski hurt last winter)
I do feel a visceral urge for some new kit but realistically I owe it to myself to break something (kitwise) first.

spyderjon, hahahaha even a dog t*rd would look magnificent on any of PM Gear's topsheets.  Dynafit don't get any points for that one!
It's a f***ing pain but post some pics guys and gals. You know you want to dust off the cobwebs, polish those topsheets and parade them up against the garage wall. Yes I'm aware it's only Oct.
Roll on Dec!

screw thinning, start renting.......... builds revenue for more stock!!! I'm sure thats how intersport started. I can picture the founder - Swiss dairy farmer getting his collar felt by his Mrs for having a barn full of skis. "do something with them or I'll make Adirondack chairs out of them" (my mrs might have said that one)

This years quiver. Thanks to poor impulse control and spyderjon getting in more Beasts they should be mounted up with them if all goes to plan.

This thread is making me feel virtuous. I haven't bought any skis or bindings for myself* this year.
*I did get a pair for horizon jr.

horizon, I'm selling myself on the idea I can flog the Dynafits on the other skis in order to fund one set of Beasts across all.

Still getting bindings sorted for mine, so photos will have to wait, but:
194 Down CD1s (quiver killers for barons) for the deepest days
193 4FRNT EHP's (quiver killers for barons and Dynafit Speeds) for touring and big line domination (in hindsight the 186s would probably have been the better option as they'll now be my main backcountry rig, though I didn't plan for that at the time and I'm very happy with how the 193s ski)
190 Bibby Pro (quiver killers for barons) for general offpiste and not so deep pow days. Great skis but getting pretty knackered.
185 Nordica Soul Riders (quiver killers for barons, may get them done for the dynafits too for longer tours), hangover days, cruisy chilling, piste days, park.
170 Atomic SX11 for more performance piste skiing, didn't use them at all last season and unlikely to use them much this season either (would need to get the DIN soles for my boots)

Same as last year:
Primarily:
DPS Wailer 105 (188cm)
DPS Wailer 112 RP (190cm)
Both quiverkillered for Marker and Dynafit bindings (FT12s and TLT Speeds specifically)
Also in the cupboard:
DPS Lotus 120 (190cm) - pretty beat up (they are from time before they got their manufacturing processes fully sorted) but sometimes get dusted off for cat skiing etc. They are unbelievably sweet in powder
Dynastar Legend Pro XXL (194cm) - for sale. If I was skiing every week, I'd keep them but can't realistically see myself using them much
Dynastar Legend Pro (186cm) - for old time's sake. Never going to ski them but they are pretty and my first pair of fat skis
Blizzard Titan 9 (180cm) - old touring skis. Might stick some alpine bindings on and use them if I every go to the fridge

I have a pair of wood veneered skis, they have a tiger on them, but only if worn on the correct feet, oh and his eye is pearlescent.
OBVIOUSLY this would not make me a gear queen

dulcamara, I bought the first pair about 6 years ago and haven't bought any skis for 3 years now. I did go through a gear queen stage though

I don't have them, yet, but a new pair of Stokli Y85s are on their way to me. They'll go under my new Lange RS 130s, too... these are the first non-plug boots for me in over 10 years, and I'm a bit nervous to see how they ski... so, I guess I'll just have to make some turns at Copper on Friday on my old Nordica AfterBurners.

Some old; some new.
Old:
Head iGS RD at 188; a massive amount of fun on piste. Holiday toy No 1.
Head iSL RD at 165; turny fun all over the place. Holiday toy No 2.
very old and battered Salomon Streetracer 10; teaching workhorse.
New:
Couple of pairs of Atomic SL at 158; turny work skis and also maybe a bit of cheeky plastic or snow racing.
Maybe in the near future:
Something to Telemark on and maybe a snowboard too.
