If money was no object

If money was no object and for example - your ship comes in or your numbers come up or you come into a nice lump sum and you could purchase just one pair of new skis.

What pair would you purchase? They maybe a pair of refurbished classics or a brand new contemporary state of art pair. Piste, powder or whatever!

I would have a pair of Kessler Phantoms in 163 - because I'm worth it :lol:

What would you have?

A ski is a ski, give me a couple of planks and I'll ski on um :D

Best ski I demoed this year was the Rossi Avenger 82ti. Applying two layers of metal (like a race ski) to an all mountain ski makes these carve like they are on rails. They are also much lighter than similar skis from the other manufacturers. Really a one ski quiver.

But if I could buy a quiver, the Rossi 165 WC sl would also be on the list. I definitely did not want to take them back.

I might also like a couple of pairs of Phantoms too :wink:

:lol: Ian,
Nice to see someone who is easily pleased. I have some old UPVC facia boards in the garage. Don't leave the waxing iron on them too long. Can you make use of them? :wink: There must be one pair your fancy FGS :D

Trencher,
Sorry Mate, that makes four pairs in total however, I'll take it as the Rossi Avenger 82ti. Must have a look at them they sound the business. I thought you may be swayed towards the Palmer PO2 Carbons :wink:

Well Alistair for me it is just like the expensive football boots I used to buy they never seemed to make me a better player or the expensive cricket bats I used to buy never seemed to convert to enough hundreds :D

Yes, there is something to be said for that. Both the boys brought Head skis in a package from S&R a few years ago. Nothing to bling but when it comes to skiing they both make their Dad look very average. My excuse being, my poor old back problem :wink:

I saw some lovely Vist skis in Mayrhofen, and nearly bought them, they were £450 in the sale.

Sounds like a bargain, were they the Super Mountain or Cross Over model?
