Which classic skis should I chop up?

Hey Guys,
A couple years ago I got ran over by a boat, and as a result, I'm missing a leg. Luckily, skiing hard is something that is still doable on one leg, and so it's basically all I do these days.
I ski with outriggers, which are like crutches with little 12" skis on the ends. I use these outriggers for balance and for hiking, lift lines, etc.
I am designing a pair of custom outriggers, which will have titanium tubes, and they'll be way rugged. Here's my question:
I have to chop off the first foot of two skis in order to make these outriggers. I think it would be sick to use a pair of classic or memorable skis, instead of just any crappy pair. Which skis do you think I should use for these outriggers?
So far I'm thinking either red, white and blue classic K2's, or yellow Saloman 1080's. Any ideas?

line 1260's were symmetrical if i'm not mistaken. You might be able to just chop one in half and do it that way..

Old 1260s were symmetrical. I'd donate a ski if I knew it was going to a good home. They have a ton of sentimental value, but I'd love to see the ski live on in the mountains.
Just let me know.

That guy totally rips. I remember the first time I saw him he passed me on Blackcomb.
We hooked him up with half price ski tuning too, haha.
