Cool--thank you for the recommendations; I'll keep an eye out for those.  I'd be looking at these mostly for traveling, but maybe occasional more open stuff in the Whites.  I'd imagine they'd see more days in the Alps or Rockies than here.  If they'd hold up okay on piste as well, that would be ideal, and mean I could travel with only one pair of skis if I was expecting snow.  I did the two pairs of skis, boots, etc thing last December in Austria, and lugging it all sucked.

I've been looking at trad camber skis because I know and like them.  My only exposure to rockered skis was demoing a pair of Salomon Lords a couple years ago, which I hated in pretty much every possible way.  I'm not opposed to the idea or anything, but I'd want to have positive experiences with skis in the category before spending a bunch of money on a pair of my own.  Any chance you've got a 303mm BSL and a generous swap-skis-for-a-run policy?  I've got a pair of Monster iM78's I'm sure you'd love if I ever make it up to Stowe..
