Skied '07 AC4 in TC - looks good as it has the double edge thingy, a bit stiffer than last years but still very predictable - I would guess that most who skied 177cm last year are going to go for 170cm in this model - it seems to hold just as well, is less vague when straight running and there is shorter factor which is always nice in bumps, trees and chutes. I would not like to be skiing bumps all the time on these (but I do not like sking bmps anyway - I respect my knees too much) but with decent technique they are certainly no worse than any other decent all mountain/ all round ski.

Finally to the bloke/ girl who stole my Allstars from Treble Cone - as an A type male I would normally hope that a binding blows off in a steep chute, under a chair, so the world witnesses your righteous plunge towards multiple injuries over some rocks and perhaps a small drop.

But as I Christian I forgive you and hope that you have more happy skiing days on them than I had as they were only 8 weeks (skiing) old when you took them.
