Thanks Mike. I haven't given them to her yet, so it will be a complete surprise. I am hoping I can sneak them to Banff in my own ski bag without her knowing, and then do a swap in her ski bag. She reaches in to get her Dynastars, and finds these. Will let you know if I pull it off.
And, yes, I do enjoy buying skis for my wife. She just loves this sport, and can't get enough of it. Diamonds? Gold? They're so yesterday....
Besides, if you recall, 30 ski-quivers are the new normal. Technically, with our daughter getting the Progressors, my wife will still have only 3 pairs. A paltry sum.
Have a great time in California. And do post a review of the Sultans when you get back and have had some time in proper western snow, where they belong. Enjoy!
Jim -- You're probably right about boot mounting point. You've reminded me of some correspondence I had with the Head Canada Racing Tech Rep about her Supershape Speeds. Two years after her model year ('07), those same skis became the woman's Power One -- exact same ski, binding, plate, flex pattern -- just different graphics. But to accommodate a woman's body type, they moved the default boot positioning mark 1cm forward. Coincidentally, in playing with her binding position on the Supershape's plate, she settled on that same spot as being the best balanced -- 1 cm forward.
