for off the hill check out uni threads, saga, jiberish, echeadwear, and stuff like that

Some FKS for my park skis
A new pow setup, probably some Pollard Opuses or Caylors with FKS or jesters

But I already have gear from last year that isn't destroyed, no need for new stuff. If I didn't have to spend it on ski gear I'd probably get some turntables and/or a new synthesizer, or just put it towards school so I can party more next year.

well if i had 2500 to spend i'd probably go on a trip or two.

but if it was only for equipment, i might buy some new hoodies or vests, a pair of new skis, custom booters in 31.5 so i dont have to wear konflicts, some new goggles perhaps.

i'd probably still have money after that, so i'd buy a winch, or hire someone to make me sick backyard rails.

I wouldn't have enough but it want some Lacroix skis, yes they may be carve skies and cost a million billion and are only available in high end ski shops in the Alps but I want one pair.
The finish on those things is so fucking beautiful, I've seen a couple of them on the slopes and the lift and the brushed titanium is so ace the black ones are very nice.

€ 5000,-

€13000,-

And you wouldn't carry these things in a simple ski bag so It also want a custom trunk from Parisian trunk makers Pinel & Pinel.

Lol I knew I would get that reaction, ahwell it'more stylish then puking monstes or psycho clowns.
A french buddy of mine has the freeski they make and says it's actually a really good ski and not all show, and it's light due to the titanium,kevlar,carbon fibre construction with woodcore. And they seem to be virtually indestructible.
