Seriously uncool, Vist, Elan, Eider?
According to the cool wall if the person owns the thing it has to be uncool...

arv, Just for fun - don't make it personal.
Uncool - any race room ski used by ordinary punter, see also wearing of surplus national ski team kit, instructor jackets when not actually teaching etc

I rescind my earlier comment as I agree with fatbob - race room skis used by punters - uncool.
What worries me is that my Scott Missions, which were cool when I got them, are getting to be seriously uncool now.
My salvation lies in two pairs of Kneissl Tankers.

How about the head Monster range? Mojo 105 (summer heatwave?), 103 (sub-zero?), iM88 (cool?), iM82 (Siberia?)???
Should we add boots on the wall as well? Tecnica orange range from a couple of years back (supra conducting cool), Lange blue range (summer blues). Nordica (hot rods)...

Punter=me
& anyone who skis casually for pleasure. So you race jocks and badge chasers might get away with non punterdom.
Fat blokes on twin tips which they will obviously never ski switch properly = very uncool

Not me, I'm a punter (perhaps with a slightly more than healthy interest in technique).

Anyone who dosen't live 5 minutes down the road or have to finance their stay in the mountains by scrubbing bogs or herding lines of tiny infants around the slopes for 6 hours a day = punter.
It's a marvelous thing to be, the world is your lobster so go forth and punt!
1980s & early 90s Atomic ARC - very cool. Those new rossis with the weird tail sidecut - lame.

Stick a set of Targa G3 telemark bindings on the B2 and they cool down nicely
