Hey Mike....sorry it took so long to get back to ya....I bent one of the legs on my walker trying to get to the keyboard and when I sat down I realized it was time to change my Depends.....but there, I'm dry and settled.? Now where to begin.....I have always maintained an open mind about everything in life except blue cheese.? Ski technique and equipment have always been a transitional thing for me taking me to new adventures and new abilities. I know a Rocker may not be for everyone, I for one ski boot high on my Fischer P8's with 72 underfoot with ease and love the feel. But...wisdom and impact with an Aspen causing severe discomfort with a detached bicep tendon taught me that skiing in areas off the groomed trails whether in or out of bounds has risk that I can help mitigate...>float is big in that arena...with logs and ski snakes hiding just beneath the surface, I look for any and all insurance I can to ski healthy for years to come. Now, watching the kind of terrain I've seen people ski Rockers in, the smoothness and how fluid they are in transitions, I just loved the ease for which they glided, floated and turned down the mountain.
At Jackson, if the snow is boot high and above,...we hope....I'll be playing with skis that are simply a blast to turn with using all the same ski skills I use with my P8's. Before I knew any here, I skied a pair of Fischer 99cm carvers for 2 years with no poles and it was great learning experience.? But hey.....I've always been a progressive free thinker...so...I'm sure there there will be more to talk about when the big snow falls. Maybe I'm just a guy who wants to see what the future offers now...did I tell ya I hate blue cheese!?!? G
