Hey guys, you know I love the idea of new technology....

Just having a hard time getting my arms around this reverse camber idea for take to your mountain, leave them in the truck until needed, everyday skiing.

For skiing anywhere from crud to 3 feet of snow, the new midfats to fat boys are so well set up, it's just find center and soft edge your skis.

No need to be sitting back on the tails to keep the tips up...those skis are just that good. Ok, maybe when you get to snow that's deeper than the knees. the new concept ski really shines but? my Head 77's did an adequate job in that knee high stuff but only when I moved the bindings back...hence my shift to the Head 82's. I did realize after that experience that more float would be more advantageous in those circumstances.

I think we may agree that their shortfall is the reverse cambers versatility, but having said that, they may be great loads of fun and less work in snow above the knees.

Not having skied snow that deep, I can only dream.....but with the great mid-fat and fat boys on the market, I'm not seeing the need to shave the other guys face.

Well unless you're heading to Alaska or Tibet!

Still having new gear to test and report to us gear junkies is oh so kind of you guys....

Best,
Gary
