I always wanted the Rossi Scratch FS, the first year it was in production. Something about that bright orange/red color, and the fact that Tanner & Co. were all on Rossi at that point.

I was a broke as shit 13 or 14 year old at that point, so I couldn't convince my parents to buy them for me.

I was too busy rockin my orange 1260's though, $115 off Line's blemish site. Best deal ever.

Ive always wanted a pair of the original Seth Pistol's because at the time i thought they were the coolest ski ever. I found a pair in SLC at play it again sports, but they were in shitty condition and didnt have the $200 to blow on them when i already have a ski of pretty much the same dimensions.

The bigger versions of the 07-08 fujative. I loved my kid ones though. Those were my first ever true twin tip ski. The ski gear consignment shop up the road has 170 fujatives in stellar condition with fks' mounted up on them. When I find $250, Those will be my next purchase.

I've always wanted and still do want the original Armada JP vs Julien. A classic powder ski before rocker and reverse sidecut changed the game.

I still have these. Fuck were they great. They just had core issues, the binding would rip easily. Still fun to fuck around on.

Maiden AK, Schmies absolutely murdered those graphics.  Plus a good all around ski.  Back at the time I never thought I'd have a ski so fat but now I have 140mm waisted skis.

I wanted the 06-07 K2 Public Enemies. It was my first year skiing so I went to backcountry.com and pressed lowest priced ski. K2 Fujatives were 180 so I bought those. The PE's were 220 and I wanted them so bad. I should have just dropped 40 more for them considering I just spent 400 on this years skis....
