Phil sold them at a consignment sale last summer. I?m still emotionally attached.

I got a little tear in my eye when I read this

I skied my good old K2 beginner skis for 10+ years, then jumped to some dynastar that I can't remember the model that was a fairly unforgiving ski.  When I finally took the jump to Shaped skis I picked a "ski of the year" Volkl Vertigo G3(163cm).  Like Mike, I struggled with the technique because they didn't behave at all like my old 187cm Dynastars, and THEY WERE FORGIVING!!!!
That was my favourite ski for a few years but it piqued my interest in learning more about shaped skis and what else was out there.

The parting of ways with the Vertigo G3:  I was spending time with family one Saturday while Terry went skiing with other friends who were still on straight skis.  He allowed a friend to ski my G3s and she fell in love with them so he sold them to her without talking to me.  You don't want to know how that went down.
