Interesting concept. However, I must admit that I no longer weigh 110. Last weigh-in was 117, my more common wintertime weight.
I spent the last day of clinic on the ET's. My coach told me that I tip very well, actually, almost too much. So being able to get these over on edge does not seem to be an issue.
Counter acting needs work and to be held longer thru the turn to keep momentum, which I lose because I face the tops of my skis too soon. Could see it clearly on tape. When FORCED to ski right behind HH with the instructions to KEEP UP and not let the 5 men behind me bottle neck up, well,,,,,,,needless to say, no keeping up with HH occurred. I let loose and tried to go as fast as I could following his tracks. Laughing all the way because of the futility, but having a good time failing in this instance.
These skis felt easier to tip on edge, once I got used to them, than I would have expected. Something in the construction of the last couple of years of skis, seems to allow a wider waist to work in ways that narrower waisted skis only allowed. Anyway, that seems to be my perception from my demo experience and what others have written here.
Ron C. found his Wateas 94 to handle well on groomers despite being delegated as a powder ski. I think since that article quoted by Michael was written, there have been advancements in ski technology that supports a wider waisted ski for everyday use, in addition to more interesting snow conditions.
