Only rear entry boot I've ever skied in was Hanson.

A sampling, for the cause.

I'm stuck in a Quagmire. If I can only add one more thing to my collection would it be the green Scott boots or the mounted Rainier beer? So awesome!

 

[Max Air]

Those green K2 boots should be on those green K2 spider skis!

I'd take those Olin Ballets. I hated ballet runs, I sucked at it. But those look so damned sweet and they'd be hella fun to smear down blues on..

 

[Max Air]

A few new items to my collection. I would say a bit of an addiction. The Hanson Alto's are my latest find. The owner has an impressive collection..... And he's from Ohio!

A few extra pics. The outfits are mostly in bins, but very groovy. I lend them out for retro dayz.

Max Air's collection is time machine to my childhood! I saw every pair of third hand skis I ripped as a kid in those photos.

After a couple years of dumpster diving, I've picked enough old boards for my back gate and about 40 feet of fence line. Slow and steady, hopefully someday she's done.

Retro skis repurposed. It ain't an Adirondack chair if you can't put a beer and a sandwich on the arm!

Made it and a few others. Making them for friends and famiy. Haven't sold any but I have taken beer as a gratuity.
When the weather warms up I've got plans to make an Olin Mark I-V chair, a K2 old school red, white, and blue chair along with a Rossi 4S chair. Those will be mine. Still have plent of other skis for more chairs.

The Zebra was a ski I always wanted to try, I even started a thread "What ski have you always wanted to try"? Or something like that. BTW wasn't the Tiger a very fine Jr. Ski?

 

[Bill Talbot]

Yes, the Tiger was said to be a very nice Jr. ski.
What used to be considered the weight range for a Jr. ski? 100-150lbs?

I remember selling them to some light adult woman.

 

[crgildart]

I think I'm going to start pressing skis with cores made out of cut up Adirondack chairs..

The Zebta rocked! Skied the GS version winter of 70/71 in about every snow imaginable as the daily driver. The oddity was the sound from the cracked edges.
