I fall in lust with skis. Going back into the wayback machine with Mr. Peobody, sadly EVERYONE here will get the reference. Here are my "gawd, this is the best ski I have EVER skied" list, only to come back to that ski a year or two later and say" How in the world did I ever ski that plank"

1979 Rossignol ST Comp 195cm
1982 Pre 1200 SP 204cm
1990 Salomon S9000 1S PR8 (212cm)
1992 Salomon S9100 1S PR8 (208cm)
1995 Volant PowerKarve 193cm
1996 Volant SuperG 198cm
2005 Blizzard Titan 9 181cm
2008 Blizzard 8.7 174
2010 Kastle MX88 178

There were countless skis in between there that were also rans and very good skis in their own right, but in their time and place the skis that I mentioned were as good as it could get. Right now I am gaga over the MX88 and, like the previous ones on the list, I will say it is the best ski on the market. What makes me more excited is I know there is something better coming. And of the pattern stays true to form, it will be a 2012 Kastle.
