I have found this is always a great question to ask people. The first pair that I skiied on was a pair of Line Mike Nick Pros that my dad bought for like 60 bucks at a garage sale. https://www.google.com/search?q=line+mike+nick+pro&espv=210&es_sm=91&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=hhYFU7XzGMPEyQG7z4FA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=728#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=ubaRFlCmL3JWdM%253A%3BVQ2_BY5pJPpBmM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.freeride.co.uk%252Fimg%252Freview%252Flarge%252F592.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.freeride.co.uk%252Fgear%252Fskis%252F2002%252Fline%252Fmike-nick-pro-model.html%3B125%3B600
Dynastar troublemakers. Cracked the tip after two weeks when I rode into an icy ledge on this ridge that we used to hit. Then I got a pair of crazy blue Atomics that had their bindings mounted waaaay back on the skis. I can't find the ski on the interwebz, so +k if anyone knows. I rode those for the rest of that season, then got Atomic punx 08-09 model (black ones with gold details. Those were probably my favorite pair this far. The Salomon Dumonts that I got after that are dope as well, and I still ride them.
OG K2 Fujatives. At 85mm underfoot, they were pretty much the widest twin you could get besides the Seth Pistols and Salomon Pocket Rockets. Those Fujatives were bomb proof and SO soft and buttery. So much fun.
