You're being influenced by the wrong peers.? ? I'm not buying any new skis this year.

And I think I know who you are being influenced by,? because you are buying the Vision Vapors because they look good.

Are you replacing the Every Thangs or enhancing your quiver?   

Hi Jim:

Finally put the new Fischer Vapors to the test in varying conditions and they performed like a charm.? Skied 3 days in 8 inches of powder, spring crud, and hard-pack ice conditions.? Everything that can be encountered? in the Northeast in late March.? Found them to be responsive and easy to handle in all conditions.? I've been skiing on a quicker-turning 68 waist ski with a standard bniding (not free flex), so there was some getting used to the very different feel in a wider ski with a much different binding technology.? In general, the wider waist does not respond well to short quick turns so there is more patience required overall in handling the ski.? All in all, I'm very happy with the ski and look forward to many hours of joyous gliding.
