I had a pair of old Dynastars. They were way too long for my tiny size and straight as an arrow.

05/06 Salomon Fish was my first pair of twins

My first pair of skis, god knows what they were haha. I think it was a pair of rossis like size 90cm or something that my dad probably got from a garage sale.

Those 1260s were my first twins too. Still have them in my shed actually, and they are in surprisingly excellent condition still, just WAY too short.

My first alpine skis overall were a pair of Atomics that my parents got at a ski swap. A year or two later the bindings were no longer certifiable.

There's a few page thread down at the bottom of this forum about touring. I skin a bit, but not as much as I'd like to, especially as I left my touring gear in Chile. I did just got some new trackers for this winter, need to get skis and skins too.

Started off renting straight skis, and brought the K2 silencer last year, still riding it due to lack of funds.

These were my first!
I had them in a 140cm. I loved them, they were so soft and playful. I was just a wee lad back then though so I didn't know a whole lot about skis.

Then my first twins were some 169cm 2010 K2 Extremes.
