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?

if you don't have to get new skis at least once every year, then you aren't skiing hard enough.

the real question should involve something along the lines of:

how many of you got new skis this year and how many days have you skied on your other pair of skis?

what?

like how many days have i skied on my old skis?

i've skied lots of days on my publics because they are better for all mountain and i dont want to ruin my scratches, if thats what you mean

because when someone says "i've skied on the same skis for 3 years" could mean that they've only logged about 12 or less days skiing a year compared to someone whose skiing 50+ days.

then you really have to consider who is actually in need of new skis.

yeah, but some people need new skis for a different style of skiing to. like i usualy get a new pair of skis every year but i have more than one type of skis. so i use the same pair of skis for 3 years and get a new pair every year.

wow. that was confusing and kinda pointless

If u use the same bindings and sell ur old sticks...new skis are relatively cheap!!! For what you get out of them!!!

I do it all the time!!
