Replying to WHEN DOES NS BUY NEW SKIS -- or retire a set of skis

All of us have friends that have parents that buy them new setups every year

brand new ARs
brand new Looks
brand new Fulltilts

i've never seen it necessary, as i take care of my skis and maintain rather than replace


My view: skis are like skateboard decks, its a matter of personal preference

i skate my decks well beyond razor tails, chips and warp

Last year i decided to set my old Armadas old Lines aside old K2s and get Salomon Threats

they did not last long........... clearly cheap skis are made to be replaced after 1 park season

I plan on buying some new Armadas and keeping them in my "lineup" for 5 years like the others
