Ok....going to bring both pair and run the SS's through some boot high...I hope to see how they perform. AND JB...don't try the 82's..I beg you....please, they are the Medusa of skis....their song will enchant you, drive you crazy...your desire to own a pair will be overwhelming....but .....if you must, you've been warned!
When I skied Ron's SS's, they were forward mounted and I did like that position, no tail wash, stayed on track and felt stable, easy to ski from a centered position.? I'm sure I'll end up fiddling a bit with the mounting positions just to see how it performs..and then again, forward may be right on. One short turns run down a steep? along the tree line will let me know.
Hmmmm, Lotus 138's....yikes...be intrested in hearing your review of those fat boys.? Hope you have knee high plus for those babies!
Ron, I agree...the flat MOJO is the way to go on the 82's. Just enough height for edge to edge but not to much sensitivity for the deeper stuff. I liked them even on the groomers. No problem bringing them up on edge. I did notice they were more difficult to ski this past weekend on the ice pack that presented itself at Holiday Valley. Should have had the carving skis that day. Still, I now have a better feel for the strengths and weakness of the 82's; and really the only weakness I found were short turns on the cat tracked ice pack.
Please you western skiers....send cold and snow to us here in the east....pretty please!?!?!?
Best,
Gary
