I think I have an addiction...

[skigrl27]

Besides skiing, I mean.

So I've got my K2 Burnin' Luvs in a 164 (I think that's the size), just bought some K2 Nancy's in a 169 for big powder days, mostly. But now I'm thinking...hmmm, will those be too long for the trees? Do I need another pair of skis? Surely its insanity, no? I must be stopped. At this point I'm thinkin I'd buy the Aura's.

So, before I go join some sort of support group for ski-gear shopaholics - how many pairs of sticks do you ladies have and what purpose does each pair serve?

The Auras would be the perfect compliment in that three ski quiver.

I was just thinking about something similar earlier! I really would like to add the Atomic M11s to my quiver. Actually, there are many skis I would like to add to my collection, which right now only consists of two skis.

I have not tried the Volkl Auras yet, but really want to demo them.

178 Rossi B3's - 95% of inbound days
174 Kneissl ErgoCross (old and obscure) - 5% of inbound days
170 Black Diamond Verdicts - backcountry
174 K2 Dawn Patrol - tele

Four pairs, and they all have a purpose.

I think you'll fit right in here. :D

She tells it like it is!

I now have 2 skis in my quiver... both undemo'd and recently purchased for my first season back, so take it for what it's worth.

154 Dynastar Nova w/Look Exclusive bindings - general recreational cruiser (and possibly too short but a huge step up from my prior 140 Rossi Saphir Snows)
165 Dynastar Marie Martinod Pro TT w/Look NX10 bindings - hoping this will be that midfat that SnowHot feels everyone should have - Seriously, though, I'm looking forward to some fun with this ski... not real sure what their "purpose" is just yet in terms of my skiing, but I can't wait to find out where they fit in for me as I broaden my horizons this season and try new things.

 

[Ski Spirit]

Well I only have one pair for now but I'm planning to add another some time this season. But I'm planning post season rehab in general for skiers spending out of control!!

 

[skigrl27]

Ok. I feel better now! See...there's this huge employee only sale today with just about every rep in the ski industry there selling their newest stuff at or below wholesale. Are you kidding? It's like Christmas, except I'm buying my own presents. I only need bindings, really. That's all I "need" - but what fun is that!? A co-worker today said "don't think about how much you're spending, think of how much you're saving." He's a genius!

I was beginning to wonder if I would ever see the B3 posted here. They are an incredibly popular ski with women here, but I don't hear much about them on the board. Although I think that alot of women here would really like them. It's funny I think different skis are more popular by brand names etc in different parts of the county. K2 and Volkl are universal, but I am not even sure you can buy Nordica here or Elan except in packages with last years or so model when the box stores haul em in. But the Dynastar Legend and the Rossi B3 are the resounding choice of women in these parts, yet they are hardly mentioned here.
