HA, I agree with you 100% except for your expectation of skier backlash. It's my sense that most skiers are thrilled with the new products, the wider skis and highly rockered skis that are very forgiving of backseat driving and other things common with the intermediate skier skill set. While I hate the skis and feel that most skiers would be better served with quality instruction (emphasis on quality) than by buying highly rockered skis, the new technology is getting intermediates into more difficult terrain and in general they are having more fun. I think the products and the widths are here to stay.
