I don't profess to be one in the total scientific knowledge of "the making of skis"..

Skis have evolved not becuase the wedge skier likes the way the "pizza" works. Its through the years of trial and efforts of pros, ski store mangers, on snow testing from a variety of ski abilities.

I hope for HighAngles (as I do for all of us) that there will always be a ski that satisfies his ski ability and ski performance feedback.

I can remeber when shaped skis first came out and I tried one and thought they totally "sucked"!....BUT I got on the bus and learned more effective ways (PMTS) to precisly ski the skis. My ski evolution continues with learning new ski techniques and how they best work along with my current ski skills married to fatter and rockered and non rockered skis.

It's a fantastic bus ride....eyes wide open...no pre formed opinion.....and for me...I've found an opportunity to enhance my "fun" experience on the mountain.

Having such a great variety of product to choose from...some skis here today and gone tomorrow will ultimatley leave we skiers with the best choices out there...

HOLY MOLY....just take a look at the evolution of ski boots....the biggest powehouse of better skiing!
AND for sure....the revelations keep coming!
