i cant remember the first pair of skis i had , but my first park skis ( twin tips ) where the original pow air grinds, they were way heavy and way to big for me at that time , i was like in 4th or 5th grade, but damn i thought those skis were dope, and fuck they are, wish i still had mine to be honest.

Aha fuck yeah! My first skis were the softer apache rangers. They were great for really learning how to ski on when I stared.

i think these sabres were actually the softest in the apache line, they were definitely a beginner ski. but i agree, great first pair of skis

first skis ever were some red rossies, cannot remember what the model was for the life of me though, complete crap skis but they got me hooked on the sport (also this was before I started freeskiing)

Dynaster race skis, tip protectors and everything, grey/red/blue with an "80" on them. 125cm. First twins were some shitty skis from sportchek last season. De-edged one of the tails within 10 days of use. They were ~130cm. I ride 149cm now. Whatta jump. Can just about 5 off a 1.5ft high jump in my backyard
