Buying skis.

Just thought I'd ask everyone how often they buy new skis and why?

I look all the time and if see something I like I either try to convince Mrs W that we desperately need them or use the age old " I brought then ages ago don't you remember " :thumbup:

I should have added to the above I can never get rid of the old ones, well you never know you might need them :shock:

i have salomon scramblers, i bought them on e bay last year, i have had no problems with them but would love some Head Skis, in light blue lol but thats purely just to match my boots, :mrgreen:.
i am not very technical yet so i am a bit nervous to buy new ones when i dont have a clue what i shoud be looking for

I did pop into snow and rock and was drooling over some new ones and the bloke there said my were soooooooooo last season and i should invest in new ones, but as long as they keep working for me i will keep them,

now i am going to have to have one more look on e bay you never know.

3 pairs last year... 2 pairs coming in October :lol:

Seems to be about 1 pair per year currently.

Some I sell on because I don't like them, some I lust after and lack the willpower to resist, some are just too cheap to not buy )
