Hey gang...gettin packed up to head home after my 6th day of skiing 5 hours a day..and today we spent a part of the day in the Lady Morgan bowl area. Snow was a bit stiffer than the past 2 days and lots of bumps with powder stashes here and there if you searched. My ski legs are now ready for the season although the first 3 days..they were screaming!

Mike, I did try the MX98's and it's just not compliant enough for me and besides, I really wanted a rocker ski. I just love the way the tips find their own way in any snow. More coming!
Although I loved the performance of the JJ's in the pow, trees and soft snow...they just pushed me around to much with vibration and what I'd describe as stiffness when I tried to get them up on edge. The 115 was never noticed when it was skied flat. I spoke with some bigger guys that rail on them so I'm guessing skier weight is a factor.

I parked the Kastle 78's after the first day although there was plenty of terrain I could have used them. I wanted to see if the S3 had any short comings...more on that shortly.

Lynn, I know  you've struggled getting the right fit in boots. It seems you've tried it all except for the foam fit. I understand that process has come along way too. Hope they give you a "fit guananteed".

Can't wait to hear Ron's report on the B1. Saw and pat down the ski in the shop...gonna be a good one me thinks!

Heading home to 15" of pow in Rochester....yikes. ..amazing!

best,
