Jim, yes I did get the Fischer Maunga for our daughter -- great ski! She had a blast on it this winter, and the 85mm waist was money when we hit the 36 inch dump at Whiteface.? Agile, fun, stable, great build quality...and such a deal!? :D

As for the Perfect One, I can check our local shop for you when I get back from my travels (I am in Alberta at the moment, near Banff again, and will ski Sunshine Mtn. this weekend? ;D ;D ;D ).? They sell a lot of Head, and have good deals.? I know they have the Power One, but I don't remember seeing the Perfect One -- I'll get back to you next week.

Are you dead-set on that ski? Or are you open to other recommendations? If so, you might check with Terryl by email and get her feedback.? She skis the '07 Supershape Speed, which is exactly the same ski as the present Power One except for graphics (confirmed by the Head Canada race tech rep).? She LOVES those skis! They are her Go-To skis when she really wants to put some mustard on it and really fly.  Also.....she now has a pair of Fischer Progressor 8's (provided by a dear friend who shall remain nameless  8)), which are also a ton of fun.? Super light, quick and agile feeling underfoot.? More quick and snappy than the Speeds.? Definitely don't feel like 72mm underfoot (according to Terryl).  Drop her a line if you want her two-bits worth.

Cheers,
Svend
