How old will you be when you give up twins? Or do you think you will never give them up?

Mom- 62 skis the miss-deamnor and Phat Luv
Pops - 63 rocks a 179 seth pistol and a 179 AK maiden (had to get him those bad boys)
179 PE


They love it, both have skied professionally and now recreationally their whole lives and dig new gear as much as you all do...can't believe the looks and props my dad gets when we are in the line up for the KT chair at Squaw at 7:30am on a pow day...

I hope they rock it for another two decades (at least)

and...I have my mom sliding boxes (sideways even)...

newschool is ok for the old school

probably when the ski market progresses to the point where there is something better. 30 years ago if you asked, I bet people said they would never give up skiing their 210 cm straight skis

as long as im skiing. my dad rocks the pocket rockets and does grabs off drops. he also snowboards and can 50-50 flat rails. its awesome cuz alot of my friends who suck at boarding act all intense about doing rails and my 55 year old dad just rides up and greases em.

why would someone ride single tips because they are older?? its not like they are any easier to ski on, the reason most old people now ski them is because that is what they grew up on. we will be the old ones later and the kids might have somethin new like twins are for the ski industry now, it wold be crazy if there were no edges and all sides were curled up so you could ski any way you stand or face, i dont know how you would stop though

twin tips are never going to go away
if you havent noticed a bunch of patrollers are skiing on pocketrockets or those gay looking head vipers. Another thing is a lot of compainies are making their regular skis more twin tipped like the new rossignal bandits have raised tails there not twin tips but they are getting closer.
