so i took out my old skis that i haven't touched this season or last, so much fun, so many memories.  i know some people don't like to hold on to old gear or trade it up like hockey cards, but anyone have sentiments for their old skis?
peace

i still have my very first pair of skis, they are bright pink (gotta love the early 90's) and are a little less than 2 foot ( cant remember exact measurements) and they are Elans, oh and they have the teather thing on the front so my legs would stay straight haha.....

I have most all skis I have ever owned still.  My favorites are my rossignal Vipers.  They were sictor straight sticks with some gimmick torsion plate thing.  I landed my first 360 on them, back in 95/96 or something.

i busted out an old pair of skis this weekend.  it was my 21st birthday on saturday (claim) so i headed up to keystone for a fun day with some friends.  i always ride with the little poles in the picture, which were my buddies poles when he was a little kid.  the skis however were that kids moms skis from 20ish years ago.  hit a bunch of rails, and went through the medium jump set doing daffys, and spreads.  it was grand
