I liked HH's new ski reviews...though somewhat limited in number and intent.  But still, good info.

FWIW-the new Blizzard flipcore series (I've demo-ed 2 of them) are not just hype.  Though it took a while, the new experiments in early rising tips and tails, and all sorts of 'rocker' have yielded some very broad appealing results.  The Blizzard's are a good sign of this.

I also liked the two Rossi Experience skis I tried.  the 98 and the 88 are exactly (in my experience) as Peter keelty described them. Both surprisingly great firm snow carvers.  In fact, I think, for the hard core PMTS crowd (which I'm not part of)-the Experience 88 is a dead on great wider ski.  Very nice, even slightly softer flex, short turning radius for an 88mm waisted ski, and a fairly modest early rise tip and tail (almost imperceptible to the eye) that give it a little extra ease of use in nastier soft snow in tighter spaces.   I wonder if it skis similarly to the Movement Jam (which I haven't skied, but I admit the raves of the PMTS crew have me interested, and I always like something different)?
