Here are some thoughts regarding the trials of being a lurker with a small quiver on this forum.

I keep thinking that the smart way to go about getting a western ski is to buy one that is a year of so old. ?But here is the problem; several years ago Ron had me convinced that my skiing life wouldn't be the same unless I got some IM 82's, ?right as I was ready to pull the trigger, the 78's came out. More maneuverable and a possible classic to be talked about for years. ?I was really considering getting some 78's at 177 and started reading about Icelandic skis. ?Oh, how the folks on this forum made them seem like the most wonderful winter conveyance since wood slats. ?I loved the graphics, the performance in bumps, trees, deep powder. ?I loved everything that I read about them. ?I was ready to pull the trigger on some pilgrims..........b ut wait..........Gary now is making these JJ's seem so cool!!! ? ? ?

Confusion again ? ?

Do I dare ask for help here?!! ?I can't wait to here the helpful advise to come.
