Taelan28 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 My ski aint broke but it looks very used and has some nasty chips from letting go of the handle in the turn. I thought this ski would last me a couple years but the idea of a newer ski sounds sexier by the week. When is it time for you to get a new ski?

Baller Nando Posted August 23, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2012 Depends on a lot of factors, but when my wife said my ski was awfully old, I knew it was time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waternut Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'd say when you feel like you need something different because that will typically happen first. However, if you feel like the ski might be structurally compromised either by water in the core, hairline cracks, or a bunch of crushed edges then it might be a good idea to replace it to prevent an injury in the event that it may snap in a hard turn.

Baller ForrestGump Posted August 23, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2012 @Taelan28 Dude, if you're getting handle dings in your current ski, then why would you want a new ski to get handle dings in? It'd be a good time to get a new ski once you STOP that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taelan28 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Yes shane I realize that getting a new ski would inevitably lead to another chipped ski. I do need to stop it. I've hit the same exact, spot within a quarter of an inch twice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas6 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The appropriate time to buy a new ski is directly after you receive the credit card bill on any given month and you add up the ten or fifteen insignificant things that your wife purchased during that month. Credit card bill ='s Ski purchase justification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Garn Posted August 23, 2012 Baller Share Posted August 23, 2012 if you feel like the ski might be structurally compromised either by water in the core, hairline cracks, or a bunch of crushed edges Hmm, doesn't that sound like how the new Nano One looks?

webbdawg99 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 All jokes aside, this is a topic that is hot on my mind right now. I've been on the same ski for 4 full seasons now. I've been told by multiple folks that its time for me to get off that "old broken down" ski and get a new one. If its old and broken down, its been a slow progression.....not a sudden change. So how do I KNOW if its broken down? Whats the SERIOUS answer to this question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razorskier1 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Ah, yes, when you have to do the walk of shame (what my son calls it if someone misses an opener). That is time to get a new ski! (or a new sport). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
