Stealing an idea shamelessly from a magazine, I've started a "Readers Skis" thread!
spyderjon will recognise his old Volkl 5*s - I've skied on them for two weeks and I have to say they're great! After using punter style rental skis these are a huge improvement. They felt a bit skittish to start with, and they accelerate pretty quickly, but once you've got used to them they are fantastically pointable. Mrs H bought her K2 Burnin' Luvs in the end of season sale in Val Thorens - they are currently unskied, but well fondled, she bought them after a day on a rental pair. Seem very similar to the Volkl 5*s.
Who else wants to introduce their skis?

Arno...nice coordination of your skis and helicopter, though some might accuse you of being a bit flash I think buying a heli' to match your skis is kind of cool.

Arno, what manner of skis are yours?

I'm guessing Legend 8800s.

Kramer, close but no cigar - Legend Pros
rungsp, now you mention it, the wording of my post could give the impression that the helis (there are two if you look closely) are also part of my quiver. unfortunately this is not the case

Here are my current weapons of choice, Rossi 9X Pro Race Carvers with FKS Racer RS bindings and Rossi Power Plates. I got 2 pairs of them in a sale from Bartletts when I was working at Wycombe Summit. First pair have recently given up the ghost but these ones are ready for the new season or for a few trips to Castleford.

There's none of that Sudoko filth at Chalet Vallons although we do give everyone a packet of tissues - why people can't wipe their nose on their gloves I'll never know!

boredsurfin, and if Tea Leaf's been out and about then "not where you left them".
An advantage of this thread is that I can look at my skis where ever I have internet access...

These photos are obviously all fakes because there's not a snowHeads sticker between them!

I've never managed to get my stickers to stick to anything - they just come off
