realskiers

Thanks John, both of those are nice looking skis.  i am also looking at the shogun and last years mx98 too. 

twins are helpful in tight spots where you do need to backup but as long as it's slightly turned it will do OK, I don't ski switch either but do enjoy the ability to spin. For powder tools, I like a little tail rocker though, easy to drift the ski which is my style in the pow for sure. This is another example of evolution for me. I am feeling confident enough to look for a more surgical ski for broken, steeps and chalky lines. I have a ways to go but it's a ski I didn't want a ski like this even a season ago.  I bought the Bent Chetlers from Phil's shop and they are really cool ski's. there's a lot of pop and energy in them and the rocker rise/run is near perfect IMHO. If anything I could do with less tail but overall its not overly pronounced.  It got it in the 183 which measures a 182, but the surface area makes this doable for my 168#.
