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 :-)

I'd be more impressed by seeing photos/videos of people actually using them rather than in a garage!

What's the betting that many of these have never seen conditions for what they were actually designed for!

Like we say in the windsurfing world as the weekend warriors turn up at the beach "all the gear and no idea"


Well it is nearly November 5th - so light blue touch paper and stand well back Twisted Evil

Nice put down of people you don't know or have skied with so you don't know how they use them. I prefer the approach taken by a ski patroller I met who took one look at my skis on a lift and told me where there were some good stashes. When I asked him how he knew I'd be up to it, never having seen me ski, he said "regular tourists don't ski skis like that". Maybe this was reverse psychology to weed me out as a weekend warrior but we appreciated the tip off.

Weathercam Deep enough? I ride 60+ days a winter in some of the deepest snow on earth. I hope I'm allowed a pair of powder skis!

But then that would be a different thread altogether. This thread is purely about quiver porn - said quivers are best viewed over the interwebz standing up in the garage. Can rarely see much of a ski's shape and size in a picture when underfoot and in the snow.

dulcamara, you are quite right, nowhere near enough race skis here( glad to see you are an Elan man too Madeye-Smiley )

I realise it´s not the typical "rack" wink but it´s the best I can do at the moment,and it means there are some skinny race skis represented !! Wink my quiver, 2 x pairs Elan WC SL 155, 1 x pair Elan WC GS 176, I x pair Elan GS ( non WC spec)

Weathercam, how does the windsurf vibe translate to a bit of skiing/riding with a kite? Ever tried it? Would love to give it a shot (snowkiting, not windsurfing - I'd look far too ripped in a wetsuit for the rest of ye to talk to me wink )

btw, that's a junior trolling at best - you can do better than that? or maybe not? (see what I did there? Laughing )

Can't stop admiring my new purple beauties is how I am. As a result, the boytoy is sulking from neglect. But I don't care, I have new skis, tra-la-laa.

kooky, I clicked your thumbnail to view the larger pic and got distracted by that rather fine looking unshirted torso in your album.

Am loving the quiver pics people, keep them coming!

I felt the same way when I put a pair of Preachers up against the wall next to my (at the time tiny) Pilgrims. I was actually a touch nervous when I clicked into the bindings but they were easy to ski. You'll see snowHead
