Yes, I'm pining for the Kastle MX88s we reviewed in our September '09 issue. But if I had to tell you what my favorite pair of skis are in the whole world, it'd have to be the K2 KVC Comps that I rocked in sixth grade. They were beaten-up, core-shotted, edge-blown hand-me-downs from my older brother—but they were so cool. Gear is like that—sometimes your favorites have more to do with the memories than performance. Tell us what your all-time favorites are, and send photos. (Bonus points for dayglo and shoulder pads.) –KB
