I rented skis until I was like 8. Then I started racing and got some small atomic race skis. Those red with the checkered flag ones that everyone had. Then my first twin tips were Salomon teneightys. Still in my garage haha.

Here's one you never heard of, Pre 1200's. Had Marker MRR binders on them. This was in 1985. My first twins were Dynastar Candides.

since this is obviously about twins and they likely have more significance to most people here, i'm not going to bother with my actual first set of skis that i don't remember.

but i got these killers when i was 14. switched back from snowboarding, either my dad was just that stoked on the fact or i was a real whiner, but he bought em brand new even though i hadn't skied in 7 years.

i still think this whole line up was fuckin dope.
