Looking for a new pair of skis to Get Yer Ya Yas Out?
Then check out these classic rock skis….
Rolling Stones K2 Side Show Skis.
The cost? $875 … probably the price of a VIP ticket for a likely Stones tour later this year. And that cost does not include bindings.
Here are the skis stats:
Performance: 50% Powder / 50% Variable
Sizes: 174, 181
Radius: 20m @ 181cm length
Construction: Metal TNC, Hybritech Sidewall, Aspen/Paulownia
Binding Options: Flat
Features: Limited Edition Rolling Stones graphics, All-Terrain Rocker, Powder Tip, Progressive Sidecut, Carbon Web, Tip and Tail Holes.
Leave it to the Stones to endorse this product. After all their web site sells all kinds of Stones merchandise from T-shirts, posters, recordings, boxer shorts, shot glasses and clothing, most featuring the Stones tongue logo.
If you’re going to have these new kind of ”rock skis” you’d have to have a suitable playlist when you’re cruising down the mountain on these “all terrain rockers.”
Here’s my set list:
“Rocks Off”
“All Down the (fall) Line”
“Get Off of My Cloud” … when it’s foggy.
“Have You See Your Mother Standing in the Shadow?” … when there’s flat light
“You Got Me Rocking”
“Start Me Up” … for that first run
“She Was Hot” … enough said
“Connection” … switching trails
“Flip the Switch” … getting ready to rip it up
“High Wire” … cruising on the high terrain
“Let it Loose” … mid-day romp
If I had a lot of money, I’d probably buy them. But would probably use them only a few times.
I’m sure many years from now these skis will become a collector’s item because they are so unusual and so indulgent for Stones fans. Maybe save them for the Stone’s 75th anniversary in 2037 … the year Mick Jagger turns 94.
