How many of you got new skis this year?

This is kind of a little poll I'm doing as far as who got new skis this year. Since 1999, I've purchased 2 pairs of skis. The original PRs off ebay in 2001, and I got some Karmas from a Volkl rep for $300 last season. It actually pisses me off that so many people get new skis every year, I can't imagine what you do with the ones from last year. Do you just throw them away? Anyway, I won't rant about this subject (although it really does piss me off, are all of you rich??). OK, so who got new skis and which ones?

I got new Guns. I use my Chronics from last year for rails, boxes, and park. I am going to start buying a pow ski one year(this year), and then a park the next year(like next year).

i got karma's last year, and then bought some old V pro's for $60 off a kid on NS, sometimes you just find a really good deal on skis that you can't pass up.

i had an old pair of rossi twins until '02. bought volkl expressions in '03, and they literally blew up on me in january of '04. got a credit for a new pair of skis and took the '04 scratch fs, which is what i'm on now. i'm quasi looking for new, bigger skis though, because these scratches have taken a beating.

i got "new" Armada ARV's this year, they are last years model but brand new. the only reason for that is because i moved to austria and only had PE's, which arent that good in pow. othwerwise i would just keep rocking the original PE's, they are still in fine shape.

I ski hard and get about 4/5 days of skiing in each week.. so my skis get thrashed by the end of the year too.
I would still ride my scratches from last year but the skis are completely torn up and the bindings are broken. hah, I've been having to use a leash for my bindings.
Leashes on skis suck because when you crash and your ski pops off, it usually comes back and smacks you in the face or leg.

I went kinda balls out last season and bought a couple pairs, as before that I was on mad trix and original scratches (whichhad broken) and wanted to go fatter and longer. Hence, new quiver. I figured I should get a couple pair while I had money and the deals were there (last spring was ridiculous as far as cheap skis go).
There are plenty of people on here who ski enough to need new skis every season. This sport isn't exactly easy on equipment. And most of us do pay for it ourselves.
