Brendan:

I've heard others say that, while twin tips have some real advantages in some situations, they don't release as well in really steep terrain.  Seems like the upturned tail can be grabbly in some situations.  I'd think that Ron is right on in his selection/use of the mojos in trees, etc., but I'll bet that he leaves a rooster tail behind him a lot of the time where the turned up part drags a little in the snow.

In fact, this month's ski magazine had an article about the group of ski movie icons (nobis, etc) that ski Alta and Snowbird.  One of their anecdotes was about one of the group that really liked twin tips but would always cut the tail off to ski it.
