Gary,
Thanks for the endorsement of my skiing.  It means more coming from you than from me.  Anyone can post they are a level 11 skier but who knows.  I also see so many skiers that are just so good.  Love to watch and learn from them.

Mostly groomer day today and the Rev 85 gave me what I wanted and more.  A very good groomer ski...fun to be on.  Not a Head SS but all skis are like bikes, a compromise. I have never been on a better ski for groomers than the SS.

Also today did a black bump run and never stopped due to control issues, just fatigue.  This ski turns best for me when I lighten the inside foot and with flexing.  My problem in the past is I would panic and lift the inside ski and loose speed control.  I had been on groomers all day using the above technique and when on the bumps at the end of the day, made myself stick with it.  A BIG difference in bumps for me.

Also, snow feel is very good. I can feel the transition at the top of the turn and re-centering on the inside edge.

APRES beer review - Left hand NITRO milk stout - the marketing for this should be.........so smooth it is dangerous, drink with caution!
