We haven't had a new one of these for a while have we.

Mine is beautiful indeed, and large.

Conspicuously missing are my 01 Chubbs.

Superfluously added (lower left to right) are a pair of Dalbello MX 6.1s, and Raichle CX 7.7s which ended up in my possession ( pictured for enlargement of the spectacle

), and various poles.

My boots are the Flexon Comps (I need to bake my thermo liners for these still), Scarpa Lasers, and my active alpines Raichle F-ONE Revs. Then of course are my son's Rossignol CompJ

On the sidelines are:
190 K2 RRTD Sport w/ broken Look GX
183 Salomon XScream 700 w/ S700 Synchro Center demo

Ah! Now to the active quiver!!!(Left to right)

183 Research Dynamics Coyote Helidog w/ Fritsche Freeride
180 '02 Volant Gravity Power w/ Atomic CR 614 TD
185 '04 Volant V2 Genesis Chubb w/ S900 Equipe

(Missing ski in shop getting the full spa treatment.)
188 '01 Volant Chubb

193 '02 Volant Machete McH Huckster w/ S977 Equipe
190 '00 Volant Ti Chubbs (to be mounted w/ S900 Equipe, (bottom center)
188 '00 Volant Ti Power w/ S900 Carbon
185 '00 Volant Ti Super w/ Marker M51 Graphite demo
183 '00 Volant PowerKarve w/ S900 Alium
180 '96 Volant Chubb w/ S977 Composite

My son's:

120 Rossignol Power Race 8 Golden Spirit w/ Rossignol Comp-J

Anyone else?

They're magnificient...and they're real?

Quick question, on the serious side; How do you decide which ski/boot combination to take with you on any particular day?

Right now, I've got a 2 pair of boots and 4 pair of ski's quiver (2 Volant's, by the way) and this is the first season which I'll actually have a choice, on any particular day.

So, how do you choose?

Well the Scarpas go with the Helidogs, and the F-ONEs are for everything else, the Flexons are a project in the works, but may become my main boot after I bake my thermo liners for them.

I really want to photograph the stuff, but I'm trying to run incognito here. I try to never line up everything in one place where the CFO can see them. Maybe later. Where are all the goggles and SAC stuff you've been accumulating? While I have backed off since the AK Rockets, I have noticed you stepping up.

(I fixed "your" title.)

Its almost here.

Oh, thanks for fixing it.

I bought a WATCH on SAC recently, but I actually DID need a watch.

Well the other stuff will have to wait for another post (I got some shameless post count padding to do

). I just trimmed my skins last night BD Ascension STS, my AT set up is complete.

When the obscene quiver pic is posted, shall it include the quiver of spouse, or only that of the poster?

I wouldn't know what to take to the mountian. I will stick with my 3-4 pair quiver. I was gonna have jsut the 3 pair, but I thought I might need some rock skis, so I will mount up some PowerKarves that I have laying around. I will take a picture this weekend to post.

I wish by bench area was so clean. Something to aspire to! I've been trying come up with a better method for my large shop vac placement, possibly from the ceiling. I like the wall mount idea.

Mine's way bigger than any of those so-called quivers. Unfortunately I don't have a wide enough fisheye lens at the moment to prove it.

No - seriously. Matter of fact, I just added THESE bad boys about 30 minutes ago.

In addition to those old McG's I stumbled across last week (still haven't called the shop) I also found 2 pairs of unmounted RD "all mountain" skis at a cross-country shop. Think they wanted between $50 and 100 for 'em. I almost grabbed 'em, but thought they might just be a burly XC ski.

Um.....you folks aren't doing very well at photo documentation, now don't be shy, be shameless and extroverted in posting pics, you're welcome to round up any ski equipment you can to enhance the stectacle of your quiver pic, it's all good. Don't worry no one will laugh, unless you have snowlerblades.

Now, in the spirit of this thread here's another picture of my quiver (sans 188 Chubbs).

LOL and huge agree lining em all up for a group photo shoot could be perilous. Misc boards are very safe at present behind the hot water heater and in various closets. Further, I sold my Nikon fisheye wide angle lens when I sold the old F2's, I doubt I have a lens wide enuff to capture em all anyway.....

Nice quiver VA(albeit a bit on the shiny side

)

how bout we just shaddap and ski?

I have a baby quiver here. Sort of Glen Plake-esque actually (Elan's and K2's), except that my rides are about 40cm shorter then he would use. They work for me.

My beloved S12's are nearing the end of their life, so they're being immortalized here.
