Hey Jim....I know Lynn will have no problem boot to knee high snow with that ski....Now let's do the Snowatella dance to seed that thought.

What's interesting for me is that I did have a chance to ski Ron's Hellbents on groomed runs and that can be skied there no problem. But...it's not the skis I'd take out on a day like that.

I still have my Icelantic Pilgrims and will still say they are one outstanding ski...carve it, float, bump it...it is a great performer.? What I found was that when I skied deeper snow, or not as steep pitched the Pilgrims made me start thinking maybe more width would be wiser...especially getting off the groomed trails or cat sking....just makes sense.? Watching videos of GOOD skiers working their Rockers through glades and deep pow, I was so impressed with the mechanical interface between skiier and rider and I really liked what I saw.

More time on snow will tell...there's a whole other chapter to be written yet. Keeping in mind my Pilgrims were brought on snow when snow got to boot high and above.....I'm thinking that this is the same criteria I would use the JJ's for only I think I've expanded my terrain versatility with the JJ's.....more on snow time will tell.

There are so many fine products out there....getting the right interface betwen skier, boots and skis is the magic we all seek.

Best,
Gary
