Hopefully the wife's skis issue has been thoroughly expressed.

Just a thought on those "turny" skis.

My 165 Supershapes have a 12 m turning radius. I skied them in ankle to shin high snow this past week in Whistler. They are fast and not at all twitchy in the straight line and carve like an electric knife on Easter. Keep in mind I'm talking in bounds kinds of straight line speeds.

Sometimes a short radius turning ski will feel squirlly because of alignment issues. If your ankle is not neutral inside thr boot and shins and knees are not aligned in your boots so your skis rest perfectly flat on the ground...those narrow waisted skis will be taking you for a ride espcially at speed....a mind of their own. Wider skis won't react as violently if your alignment is off...just more surface mass and less sidecut to keep you connected.

The key here is get aligned and neutral, find your center on your ski and then....ski them all...skinny, mid-fat, fat and extremely fat...

It's all good....very good!
