I usually have 4-5 pairs of skis, so I'll rotate out a pair or two (or three) every year.  Yes, I do spend almost my entire income on skiing.

every 3 yrs I'd say       every year would be amazing, but no way my parents would go for that, even if i was only spending my money

A new pair every year, but I alternate which part of the quiver to update. last year I got fujis, this year I got the Gotamas, next year I will probobly get a new park ski, then I dont know about the next year.

I also got a snowboard this year, but it was given to me and is for urban shreddage.

it used to be a pair every 2 years but now its a pair every year and i just use my old ones from the year before for urban and shit. skis just dont last as long when your as big as me. but its great when you can waranty a pair of skis at the end of the year and get free ones for next season. thats what ive ended up doing for a while now.

WHENEVER I FUCKING FEEL LIKE IT.

But srsly, I really don't trash skis, so I just get new skis whenever my gear whorism gets the better of me.

Every year that I can afford it. My parents were nice enough to buy me my p4s this year, so I am using my Guns for park and my first generation chrons for urban. While my guns will probably still have some life in them for next season, I want to get something a little lighter for jibbing.

Well it used to be every 3 years. But I've acquired 2 new pairs in the past 10 months, and a 3rd is on its way very soon. I think after this I will cool it for a while. I also should stop hoarding 916s. 4 pairs in a year is a lot.

generally one or two every year, but I only started riding in 2005... I have 3 boards (but only one that I actually use) and 1 pair of skis and I plan to get a better pair of skis soon... after that I won't need to get any more hard goods for a few years.. hopefully.

Every 2 to 3 years.  Sometimes less depending on how much cash I have to spend.

I bought a new pair this year, but before that the last time I got a new pair was 4 or five years ago, and I used my dads hand-me-down atomics last year. there is no need to buy a new pair every year

historically, I've gotten two new pairs every season. One for park and one for all mountain/pow. However, I only see myself buying one new pair of skis for next season, and this ski will in essence complete my quiver, so as long as my skis hold up, I don't see the need to purchase a new one the following year.
