Dude thats not that bad, look at my profile and see my quiver. I use every single ski because I need them. Livin out west in the rockies is soo awesome. Plus there is always good snow somewhere, but for those bad days you gotta be prepared.

you're just a bitch. i doubt you've ever even skied in the east. i find adequate uses for all of my skis (aside from spats, they are a novelty item) and love them all so who are you to bitch at me and say i have a ridiculous quiver?

i'm sick of people saying that the only skis to have out east are park skis or shitty narrow skis. i can ski whatever the fuck i want

that's why i ski snowlerblades because they're easier. everyone depends on skis, if i walked in boots i'd sink in and it wouldn't be fun. i have skis that i enjoy riding that suit different conditions, they make skiing the most fun

if i wanted a challenge i'd ride pow on race skis. would it be fun? no, so why fucking do it

im not gonna go claiming on the internet about who's a better skier and i'm not gonna namedrop, but your argument makes no sense and i'm tired of people shitting on my quiver because that's how i choose to spend MY money and that's how i ENJOY skiing

"Those skis are on the stiffer side, too stiff for park probably"

You can't bend them into a perfect C with your hands.

"They turn really well, you could do a race course on them"

101-95-101 not sure if there is a ski like that though. Funny? Maybe.

"WTB Armada T-Halls with Marker Jester Bindings and ride a 4 din...is this a good set up for me"
---I have never been within 5 feet of a pair of twin tips but the skis are named after tanner hall and the bndings are expensive so im going to be legit enough to throw a backflip

Neither NWT nor "mint" means used 10 days.  Mint means new or in brand spanking new condition...

I was at a party hitting on some chicks then the party got broken up

-I went to my buddy's house and we facebook chatted with a girl from my school, then his mom came in and told us to go to sleep.

Skullcandys are the best headphones

-I saw an ad in Freeskier so I went to my local Walmart and bought a pair.

"That ski is super soft/stiff/stable/buttery"

-I hand flexed some in a shop once

"Griffons are shit, get FKS"

-I own a pair of Griffons and have never had a single problem with them. And I've never even seen a pair of FKS bindings.
