I have the 178cm skis with an 18M turn radius. I've skied them in a variety of conditions in New York, Vermont, Tahoe and Snowbird.
They're great for a 1-ski quiver. Decent...

I grew up skiing here, and at Keystone resort. This is known around Summit County as the resort for locals, evidenced by its consistent first place rank among Summit County...
Hey, I would use those. I had the plain metal color ones and I recall they were some of the best bindings ever. Even the runaway (Ahrlberg) straps look familiar. The only thing was adjusting the heel required pulling those stays and screwing them to the right length. I wasn't too crazy about that ogee on the boot heel the roller fit into either.
You guys have some great stuff and the love comes through loud and clear!
I've been collecting for years, mostly wooden skis.
I do have a cellar full of more modern stuff that needs a new keeper.
I've posted pics here before, but here is one again.
I really like how your collections are organized........ here is the antithesis!
Is that one or two pairs of Hexcels in the top pic, (and which are they)?
I see Blue ones in the top pic and possibly some green ones tucked away in the bottom pic.. I think the green ones might have been called "Hexcelerators", but who knows.. I just remember I always wanted a pair of Hexecls.

Ok walls of old skis now I don't feel so bad for hanging on to everything. But these photo of The Ski make me want to ask who still a pair of The Ski Ballet? As I remember they were black, Not the Black Majics. I still have a pair of Spademan S4s looking for the right pair of skis.

I don't recall The Ballet Ski being black, I am not disagreeing with you, I just don't recall them being black.
I do have the right pair of skis for your Spademans though
There are Tyrolia's on them now, but S4's would be much better.
Granted that was almost thirty years ago so my memory is open to interpretation.
Now if i were a purist I would have to move a pair a SRS SuperIIs to the blue and yellows.
How hard is it to separate the toe rests?
One last question, TRS is that "the red ski" or "the race ski"?
They were 'The Race/Racing Ski. Someone posted a pair on here a few years ago, IIRC with Bessers. There was another incarnation that hasn't shown up yet, they were the white/black ones with circles vs. squares. I skied with a guy a few years ago that had a pair. I am trying to track them down, or at least a picture.
