Good to hear that your Fischers are holding up well. It was actually someone at Scott's shop whom I talked to yesterday, who told me about the warranty issues with some of the Fischers. He didn't mention the larger Wateas, but the RX series, the AMC series, the Watea 78, and some of the Visions are some that he noted were having the delamination problems. The Progressors, he said, were not having this issue. This is a bit unsettling, as I live in Canada, and if I order skis from Oregon, getting them back there is a hassle. He noted that Head and Elan are the most problem-free and well made.
Scott wasn't in the shop, and was obviously at home nursing his leg. Yikes....hearing about experienced skiers getting badly hurt reminds me of what fragile bodies we have, and what speed can do to mess with it if we screw up on the slopes.
It was pretty clear from reading Scott's reply to your espresso post, that he had a passion for it and knew an awful lot about it. I wondered why he has such a high-end machine as the Marzocco in his shop? Does he have a little coffee bar there too, amongst all the skis and bikes? Will have to drop in there some time and check it out -- we have a standing invitation to visit some friends living in Oregon, and may take 'em up on it next winter.
Thanks again for your feedback.
Time for my morning shot from Mr. Giotto! Yum!
