Most beautiful ski ?

[Mo2204]

Hey ballers I'd like to know which ski you consider to be the most beautiful when it comes to graphics and design. If you have pictures it would be nice if you could post those and of course coustom skins etc can be posted as well :)

Id like to start with my custom skin I ordered but unfortunately it has not arrived yet.

[MrJones]

The MC I saw this weekend was pretty, but I like clean and simple.

[phantom.swerver]

@OB1- that's going to take a lot more than a pretty ski.

[Onside135]

Connelly has a ski out this year that's pretty good looking. I don't remember what it was called and could not find it online, but it has a very vintage finish to it. I think they only made a small number of them and I saw one at Fogarty's in Lake Flower. Perhaps @lpskier knows the ski I'm talking about…?

[Horton]

The black and copper 2016 HO V Type R looks pretty Bitch'n

[Hallpass]

Probably not the direction you were headed, but still my favorite: My father's Maha.

Not as pretty as she once was, but the old girl is in her 50s.

 

 

[MrJones]

Ohhhhh! Didn't think about that. I have seen some sweet Connelly Hooks that I would like to hang on the wall.

[Wish]

Like these...

 

[Skoot1123]

I think @dbski has some pretty sweet looking skis. One of a kind for sure!

[supergadget]

Second @Horton

I held the V type R in hand , pretty ski!

 

[thager]

Torque Super Comp

 

[jimbrake]

@Hallpass - Disco Bay, eh?

[Hallpass]

@jimbrake - almost 20 years. You?

 

[dbski]

Thanks @skoot1123, I happen to think my skis are easy on the eyes too!

 

[klindy]

@Wish too bad those aren't Monza's. You would be able to retire with that collection if @MS saw it!!

[lpskier]

Connelly staff was clearing out an old storage area, a barn I think. They found several old unused veneers from the wood ski days. They experimented with one, which was trashed in the process. The rest were used to produce a special edition ski that was provided to select Connelly dealers, Fogarty's being one of them. I believe the ski under the veneer is a Concept, but it really isn't for skiiing; its a wall hanger. The Fogarty's ski is spectacular. It looks like its right out of 1971! I would love to have it in my collection.

[Horton]

Sort of off topic but the dining room table at Denny Kidders house is made from the laminates from early 70s wooden Obrien slalom skis. It's gorgeous.

[jimbrake]

@Hallpass - Sac - 28 years. Bell Acqua Lake 1 for the past 10 seasons.

 

@Horton - would love to see Denny's table. I bet that is awesome.

[aupatking]

@skibrain I totally agree. I was way after that time but I just bought one off Craigslist just because I like the way it looks. It'll never do anything more than look pretty on the wall for me. My favorite current skis (to look at) are the Sans Rivals.

[Waternut]

I find the majority of ski's fairly attractive but the one that still holds me is the old 2010 Radar Annex. Had a cool underside for the camera and the top looked jet black until it hit the light just right and the ghosting on top just lit up.

 

[Bulldog]

@skibrain that is a fantastic picture! Would make great marketing image for the company.

[MISkier]

My 9960 is the best looking ski I've had so far.

 

 

[ForrestGump]

Radar custom built me a Senate C with a charcoal colored carbon fiber top and only the silver Senate C badge on it back in 2010. Everyone loved it.

[jhughes]

The earlier S1, S2 skis were beautiful. The 2012 S2 takes the prize in my opinion.

 

 

[A_B]

@ShaneH was the top sort of like this?

 

[skialex]

Who about this one? Early seventies Reflex!

[jimbrake]

@skialex - you have a nice shop. I bet a lot of ballers have nice shops. Maybe we should start a best looking shop thread.

 

Anyway... that Reflex is cool. Love some of the old graphics.

 

@skibrain - That O'Brien Mach 1 was/still is badass.

[ForrestGump]

@A_B Yes, it had that carbon top sheet on it.

[A_B]

I demoed a CarbonWorks ski that had the gray top on it, and it was a sleek look.

Stradas were like that one year also.

 

[The_MS]

Original silver Strada with the Matrix looking bottom or the 2006 red top Monza with the chrome bling. And of coarse,

 

[A_B]

@MS can you post a picture of a ski?

[Glydon]

Carbon fiber coming through just the right amount ...

 

 

[ToddL]

I still like that clean, green machine look of the original 2014 Vapor:

 

[david_ski]

@skibrain the O'Brian Mach One was my first waterski. I still have it too.

[MAD11]

Always thought @TFIN original Vice was cool. My MC is super clean and hard to find any flaw with except for the rider.

[rodecon]

That 1st year vice did have some sweet water ski lifestyle themed graphics: girls, tattoo needles and stacks o' cash baby!!!

[6balls]

The Razor is a very pretty carbon fiber ski. Very high build quality (RTM process) regardless of whether you like how it skis...I like how it skis as well.

[OldGuysRule]

Couldn't make up my mind! I think the Connelly that Wish posted wins! Can't beat the woodies!!

[sunvalleylaw]

What @Wish said. For pure beauty of the ski, and not considering performance.

[Hallpass]

I saw a Mach 1 as posted by @skibrain, for sale on ebay today.

[savaiusini]

My two faves right now...of course I am a little biased ;)
