Some of the bindings on these skis are downright scary, so puny thin plastic. On the other hand several are thick metal, with titanium.

if those are 9-16 DIN sollies I gladly take them off your hands.

50 bucks?....

This weekend I will take inventory and list all the bindings and skis. I will be salvaging the bindings. The goal is one or two Adirondack chairs.

Richie, it would be possibly be a good idea to offer them for sale before furniture. Once gone they'r gone and some people may want them. Already there's an offer from bushwpa!

I know like I said its bitter sweet to cut them up, some of these are beautiful, but I need some ski-chairs!!! Damn it! I finally got enough skis to do it, its not often (or ever) that I have been able to acquire this many skis to do what I am planning.

The Sollies, the yellow ones are NOT Equipes, the black ones, missing AFD's are either 757 or 957's. The Looks on the Dynamics are about the best chance for a high DIN.

Perhaps an offer of cash and skis.
I'd give you some old crap skis in exchange for letting some collector bears have dibs on buying some of the truly vintage stuff from you.

I have a pair of hart GS' I took the bindings off of that you can have as well as a pair of pre's and K2's

I would like the M40 Sensomatic off the 7S's, actually just one would be fine

. I have the Look Forza's already but yellow Sollies would look good on the wall.

Sorry dude, I threw away those MRR's I was telling you about last season. I think they were the last series made, about 2001 I'd say. The arm on one of the heel springs snapped off.

No, the Dobermans had a pair of Fischer bindings on them. I wrecked the Dobermans on a "bad ski choice" day, deep powder with no base (I mean NONE) last spring. The Fischer bindings then replaced the MRRs on my Blossom Deer and Sunsets, which I just can't seem to kill off.

That brings a tear to my eye...

I Ski.

All-Mountain: A common descriptive term for boots or skis that are designed to perform equally poorly under a variety of conditions and over many different types of terrain.

The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.

Yeah, the Dobermans had a short life, though they were pretty well used when I got them. Think I paid 150 euros sans bindings, so what can ya do? Man could they hold on ice, though.

I have a pair of Look Nevadas from the 1980's that I might be willing to exchange for Lift Tix to the Elk Mountain demo day this weekend... (hint, hint)

165 Dynastar Legend Mythic Rider w/Head RFD 12. My main ski last year, love it.

180 Blizzard Titan Argos w/Dukes. A steal at Backcountry Outlet. For deep days and hopefully my introduction to backcountry skiing (yes, I bought skins too).

I want to get the Dynastar Contact Ltd to round out the quiver. That SHOULD be it for this year!

Quiver update.

Gone: Volkl Unlimiteds.

New:
165 Dynastar Contact Limited w/Look PX12. Super fun hardpack ski.
176 09' Volkl Gotamas w/Marker Griffons. Got them on an EpicSki Aunction for a greatly discounted price

. Had them mounted today, now waiting for some freshies to take them out.

I'm so pumped I can actually say I have a quiver to be proud of- it may be smallish, but I'm stoked nonetheless...

Nice! I used to pin up trail maps in my room from resorts all over the country that I've skied. I wish I still had them all but I never made it back to Texas (where they ended up) after the folks put their house on the market and sold it to get them. I've started saving them again, but they just aren't as cool as they used to be at many places.

Dig them Bros!

I think I might at home, you'll have to let me look. If not, I should be back up there the weekend after next. If you shoot me a PM with your addy I'll see what I can do.
