JB- Getting boots fitted by Chris @ HH had without doubt the biggest immediate impact on my skiing.  I think Gary probably exempted them because it would have been a boot thread the recent discussion has been with evolving ski technique and ski design.

For me in the past, going from a K2 5500 escape to the Head IM 75 non chip was initially a challenge but it really helped my skiing.  The k2 tail really wanted to release, the ski was made to rotate in my opinion.  You can brush the tails on the IM 75 but you have to do it with proper technique. 

Then I bought the RX 8 and that is just a very sweet ski.  Probably my favorite in terms of all around fun.  It now feels a little short at 170, but it is very quick and playful. I am interested in how it responds to the Clendenin method.  I just loves to do the HH thing. 

We are about the same size, what length do you ski the P9?
