I guess technically 5, but I only ski one pair.

168cm volkl expressions: First pair of twins, too beat to sell, loaner ski
179cm K2 Silencers: I hated these skis, no bindings, no one will buy them
179cm K2 Hellbents: Slushy park skis (need to sell these)
185cm Atomic blogs: Used to be one ski quiver, now have fallen off car twice on highway and have broken bindings.
189cm K2 Shreditor 112: My everyday one ski quiver. Will spend 95% of the rest of the season on these, probably all of next year too.

I'm not sure why I asked for plans, was just wicked excited. This is a great idea that i think I'll make for my garage. Also, you have a fantastic ski collection.

I kept breaking them used to have a set of Liberty Morphics and Head JON's they didn't last long with my fat ass on them...

I'm not into really into park as I like freeride, Park skiing isn't of interest to me in Europe since is a trek to get away skiing so I usually smash it off piste when I can. The race stuff was all free from mates when the FIS regs changed so I thought why not, I like going fast and used to use 210's back in the day. And when the snow is shit in Europe a pair of GS skis are very much required.

Its a fun quiver for Europe, the SL's only get used in Scotland as our slopes are interestingly small. Even on the mountains I've never really found a day when anything bigger is needed as all the pow is usually blown away to leave and ice sheet. Scotlands like the east coast of the USA but with tiny runs. That and they get used on the dry slope.

The GS and the Dynastars come with me to Europe, perfect euro resort quiver, our runs are so dam busy a lot of the time and theres no speed police and ski patrol in Europe don't pull peoples passes... So having something that allows you do dodge gapers who think they own the hill is a must.
