I too think the Dynastar Sultan is a capable ski in the hands of a good skier...What I'm seeing is how much versatility some of these new skis are offering to many level of skiers.

Sure there may be sacrifices in performance in certain areas with the new designs,  but to the plus side, there's some amazing gear out there that have a wide range of capability.

Not sure I agree the new gear is making people ski faster....I started skiing 26 years ago and there were a few speed nuts then (including me) skiing at the brink of disaster.

I just see those 15 days guys as enjoying their experience more and maybe just maybe, more safely because the gear they are on is much more forgiving. I noticed in Davids case, he had more more speed control and body control with the Sultans compared to his older skis. He wasn't getting thrown or bounced around as much.

AND Mike...only SPECIAL People get to ride the DPS....   HA!
