Gary:

Thanks for the information. I am 5' 9'' and 175 lbs. I also ski K2 Apache's with a 68 wiastline for groomers. Big Mountain snow can get chopped up pretty good by the kids and mother nature. I was looking for something to get me through these changing conditions because my skills alone arn't enough. Maybe one day. I got interested in the Elan Magfires after trying  K2 public enemy. They allowed me to be quick on chop and heavy snow but didn't seem to transition well for me. A local ski shop owner recommended the Magfires. I tried them for two days in various conditions and felt comfortable with their stability and reaction. I debated many other skis as a second choice but kept coming back to them. I'll let you know how they do this Chritsmas. My goal is to ski 30 days this year from Banff to Fernie to Big Mountain.
