Hello, i am just curious about what factors make you want to choose the ski that you ride. If price wasnt an issue what would your dream ski be? Which factor makes the biggest impression when you are looking for a new ski. Hype? Weight? Team? Design? etc. I know they probably all are a factor but which one is the most important to you and why. Also what would your dream ski be if price wasnt an issue?

Fuck left this out......My dream ski would be a new design that creates a lightweight ski that is a medium stiffness. simple design just to keep it stylish and definatly a sandwhich construction. True twin would also be fresh. As for what factors make me want to buy a ski is definatly weight. This is the most important factor to me because if the skis/bindings are to heavy then its schwilly

the design is first priority, and I also really care about where the skis are made. But, I would be lying if I said that the hype/ pros that ski on the skis doesn't effect my choices a little bit.

I go to the ski swap and wander around until something strikes me. Usually whatever quality, unmounted, season-old skis I can find that shopes wernt able to sell.
