The Quiver Picture Thread

[volklgirl]

OK Divas....

We know many of you updated, traded, sold, or bought skis for 2008. Now it's time to show off those quivers!!!

Let's see some gear porn !

I'll start:

Left to right: 04 P60SL Race Stock155cm (Slalom trainers then racers), 06 Racetiger GS Race Stock 180cm (Giant Slalom racers then backups - permanently benched due to recent injuries :( ), 01? P50 F1 188cm (Downhill), 04 Supersport 6* 168cm, 04 724 AX3 Gamma 177cm, 05 Karma 177cm , and 04 P60 GC Racing 173cm (original race skis, now for sale cuz I stole the bindings off them for the Gammas).

UH, volkl's??? Seriously, that is quite the group of skis. Way to go!

 

[volklgirl]

The boards and blades will be coming later .

I can't compete with volklgirl's quiver, but I like what I've got:

First in line is my new babies, Volkl Queen Attivas in 156 cm. Next comes my other Volkl skis, Attiva 5 Stars, 154 cm. Third in line is my "tanks"--my Volant Vertex 71, 155 cm. Last on the right is my Rossignol Bandit B1W, 150 cm. If I had to choose just one ski to keep, I couldn't do it. Each one has a unique characteristic that makes it fun.

Your pic's not working for me....maybe try a different link code?

Although I went to your page. Sweet!

 

[SueNJ]

How about now? I can see it...

Pret a Porter

Here is pic of a dedicated family, one that is dedicated to waking up getting dressed and getting in the car to ski as quick as possible that is. Although I drool when I look at your photos, our family just requires this degree of simplicity, or we'ed never make it to the hill if we had decisions to make as well...Sad I know, I probably am depriving myself in ways I don't even know. I just keep the poles in the back of the car all season, I am pathetic, but noone else in my family seems to be able to keep track of all their stuff so until they do, I don't even dare a quiver.

 

[SueNJ]

I see that my photo isn't visible--I'm at work, on my work computer, and can't go to photobucket.com because they have it blocked (overparanoid??), and suspect that's why the photo won't come up either. I'll fix it when I get home tonight, with a link to the photo instead of embedding the photo in the post.

Hey Sue
I'm able to see the pic. Love it. Wish you were taller, I'd try to steal a pair next time we ski together!

Thanks, playoutside--it must be the firewall here at work.

You're still welcome to try any of my skis, even if they'd be short for you.

Same here! Anyone want to try any of my skis, I'd be happy to oblige.

Have loved them all, in their time!

W. Ski, what a beautiful collection! The skis look postively pristine -- you have taken such good care of them! Glad you like your new Volkls so much -- enjoy!
