CHAIRLIFT CHAT

We’re kicking off another round of “What’s In Your Quiver” features here at SkiEssentials.com. Our motto of “Gear For Skiers By Skiers” wouldn’t be very authentic if we didn’t all live and breathe this stuff on a day to day basis. Every skier (or snowboarder!) on our staff is a little different. As we often talk about in our Ski Reviews, Comparisons, and our Annual Ski Tests, ski performance is relatively subjective. While you can make objective assessments of skis too, ultimately, one skier is going to like a certain ski more than another skier, and that’s ok!

We think it’s fascinating to look at the different products our staff chooses to own and is a good representation of the personalities and skiing style of that person. We’re starting with Jeff’s quiver for 2025, which, simply put, is a bit ridiculous. The likelihood that many other skiers have a quiver containing 14 skis is pretty small, so we certainly wouldn’t use this as a template of what we think you should own. We do, however, think it’s interesting learning his thought process and what has brought him to each of these skis, boots, bindings, and poles. Enjoy!
