 Poster: A snowHead

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, sexy. Will be interested to hear what you think of the standard vs carbon Redeemer, and if you plan to keep both in your quiver.

clarky999, yer am looking forward to that myself the CarbonLite Redeemers are actually the lightest setup there!

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)

FAQ
Although mine are still in pretty good condition because I don't tour that much (they're my touring set up), plus 2 seasons out through injury right after I bought them
