Stickers on Skis: Yay or Nay?

I have been a fan of sticker jobs on helmets for quite some time, but as i have finally gotten new skis (Blizzard Peacemakers) I figure it is time to freshen up my ride. Obviously stickers can look sick on skis or they can look awful; I will probably stick to diecuts as they seem to last the longest on skis, but I was wondering if I could get any feedback as far as sticker placement,type, and application goes. I know that backcountry.com and Ns sticks seem to be pretty popular on the nose of the ski as well as the overlapping smith sticker. Any feedback in the form of pics of your stickered up ride or recommendations for sick looking stickers would be great.

I personally never put stickers on my skis but each to their own i guess.

Stickers look horrible on skis if you put like a bunch of random ones on your skis like done on most helmets, but if you put like a big Saga sticker on the ski or a company you ride for sticker on your skis it looks nice if done right. But just putting a ton of stickers on looks ugly .

I have an evo sticker on one of my tips, just cause thats where I got mine. I definately wouldn't junk them up with a bunch of random shit though.

i like to leave them off. if you have cool top sheets i would never ruin them with a sticker, plus they always come off so theirs really no point.

I have two evo stickers and beach burrito stickers on my skis. I like the look of it, but each to their own.

eh. maybe if the skis didn't have nice graphics then i would consider one or two, but other than that i don't really like it much. stickers do look good on helmets and snowboards though, at least in my opinion.

Depends. Only if its a sticker based on the skis or the outerwear you ride in. And only if its a nice clean simple sticker in a well placed spot.

I put a couple of die cuts on my skis only because there was a blank spot in the graphics, but there not junked up. If you keep it clean and not busy, then it can look great.

it all depends on the topsheets, if you have skis like the afterbangs or domains, then yeah put stickers on it, but putting stickers on a ski like the chronics should be a sin

I put my local shops sticker on the tail, and then a virtika sticker on the tip, looks better than just having a blank spot where the top sheet was empty

I just put stickers from the same company as the ski and ones of my home mountain. Don't really place them just throw them on where it looks cool with the graphic

i don't because they never stay on and they get torn up so it is just a waste of a good sticker

I have one sticker on my skis, and it's from a local bar where i know the owners. Always get people asking me if my skis are actually ones made by the bar, so i just assume other people like the look of them as much as me.

I used to, but they would get cut from the edges of the other ski, and eventually they look bad. Maybe one or two, but not a ton would look good
