Same here...  A pair of 15 year old Blizzard Firebird, 203cm, with Marker
MRR bindings.  They take a lot of effort to make short radius turns at slow
speeds, but dead stable at speed.  Much safer than the carving skis that are
in fashion.

Carry a IIIc with a collapsible Elmar.  Fits in a jacket pocket.
