Some good points indeed Mike...

I should add that for many skiers, new gear be it fatter, rockered, and all the variations we find out there today like both Max and JB stated...(paraphrasing here) allows some skiers not so "technically gifted" to go out and ski lines and conditions that would otherwise be impossible for them to ski. Having said that..."that ain't such a bad thing" as long as they're getting a great feeling about enjoying their sport AND they don't run into me! 

For guys like many here including me...I'm always looking for ways to make each on snow experience the most fun and best time I can make it....learning about myself, strenghts and weaknesses has made it it easier for me to find my happy place.

Best, g

PS Mike..ya kinda have that VJ swagger!
