I'm sorta just lovin' this thread.

Let me go way, way back!

Sometime in the 70's and in about my third year of skiing ( god, was I ever that young ), skiing or ski magazine just went ga-ga over the Rossi roc 550, a gs ski. Got one, loved it very, very much. Cruising down Sugarbush one day, don't know what happened but I was charging one second, laying on my butt the next. One ski was bent, end of love affair.

A fav memory of the ROC 550, at Snowmass late one spring afternoon, I hid at the top of the mountain until well after the lifts closed and did a uber high speed run top to bottom on the 550's on a bluebird, cruising day. Smiled for an hour at the bottom Way back when I was young in body and mind.

The times of your life!
